Bonsai is a Japanese art form which utilizes cultivation techniques to produce, in containers, small trees that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penzai or penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years.
We also have a Matrix room: #bonsai:matrix.org

An ambitious project for me. It was a lot of fun to figure out. I'm hopeful that it'll grow in and cling to the rock in the future. Getting rid of that wire would be nice.
Once it puts out some growth and shows that it's established, I'll do some semi hard pruning to refine the shape a bit.
The pot is one I formed by hand with a mix of portland cement and perlite dust.
That’s awesome! I love the rock in the middle.
