Bonsai Project

16 July 2008 877 views 4 Comments

Japanese bonsai is my latest home project that I started in June this year.

If you’re not familiar, a bonsai is a potted plant (as a tree) dwarfed (as by pruning) and trained to an artistic shape.

The plant I chose is bunga kemuning i.e. from the Jasmine family. After about 3 weeks, new leafs start to grow. As you can see, a month later my bonsai is already blossoming. Give it a few more months then I’ll start to shape it.

Unfortunately, another tree that was planted about 2 weeks earlier died Otherwise I would have had two pots.
