There is an art to appreciating bonsai and potted plants; master these few points and you too can become a master

Many people like bonsai, and basically everyone has their own opinion. But everyone will have fairly distinctive views, yet basically they cannot do without the following aspects.

Posture, branches and leaves

When looking at the tree shape, you should look at the overall posture of the tree. Whether the trunk and side branches are balanced; generally bonsai have a front and a back, and usually it is viewed from the front. But this depends on the angle you stand at, and it varies from person to person. Good bonsai pay great attention to the direction of the branches and leaves; in plain terms, they need to be smooth. Color, orientation, and size: generally the leaves are made to grow small, and dense is good. For example, for pine bonsai, 2 to 3 years of suppressing leaf growth is needed.

Bark

Bark can be said to be a major ornamental point of bonsai; smooth has the advantages of smooth. Aged has the merits of aged, and personally I rather like bonsai bark with many layers.

Roots

The wonder of roots lies in the technique of arranging them, and there are many finer points. There are those that embrace rocks, those that crawl over the ground, and those that are hollowed out. This choice is mainly based on what kind of shaped bonsai you want to make; different types have their own suitable root-arrangement types.

Pot

That's right, a good pot can highlight the grade of the bonsai. What often happens is that the tree is not worth as much as the bonsai pot. This is also something often encountered.
