Bonsai trees make choice plant gifts for their unusual yet zen appeal, capturing the magnificence of a stately tree in the space of a potted indoor houseplant.
"A miniature, fully developed tree could be a charming gift for someone with an artistic flair and an interest in the fine details," says DallasNews.com. According to the news source, the word "bonsai" literally means "tree in pot" in Japanese, and has been the topic of talk for centuries among those who have owned and maintained them.
Bonsais should be kept in direct sunlight, preferably near a window that receives a lot of light, according to the news source.
BonsaiGardener.org recommends also maintaining the temperature of its environment at at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit, since bonsais were originally outdoor plants that flourish in balmy weather. Leaves should be sprayed with water fairly often, but filling its tray with water can be a potentially deadly mistake, reports the website.
