Shape them in different styles, but their size varies from 2 cm to 1 m or more. Given the diversity of plant species and individual plants with detailed instructions and criteria of education can not be determined. The nature is our role model. Imitate the growth of trees in natural habitats in mind symbolic three points, which conceived the outline against irregular triangle shape. The lowest point symbolizes earth, middle man, and the highest heaven. We try to approximate the proportion of 1: 6 between the thickness and height of the tree trunks. So, 30 cm high Bonsai should have a thick trunk of at least 5 cm. Very important is the design and arrangement of visible roots - nebari, that symbolize strength and power.
Bonsai is not just a tree in a container. The tree is alive and must live with you. Leroy Fuji says: "Learn from your trees, they are your reflection!"
