Miniature bonsai are petite and exquisite, revealing the beauty of nature within a tiny space.
For the selection of small stumps, choose plants with strong vitality that are easy to tame into trunks and twisted, varied forms. Also pay attention to selecting varieties with small leaves, strong sprouting ability and shade tolerance. 1. Seek out old trunks and small branches of varied forms on a certain tree stump for air layering (that is, sleeve propagation), mostly carried out in early to mid-March during the plum rain season. 2. Seek out tree stumps with well-developed bare roots, and near their root area select crooked, ancient-looking, robust ones with small branches and bare roots, and separate them from the tree stump (best done in late autumn), but do not transplant them immediately; wait until the following spring when the separated plants sprout and grow branches.
