         Bonsai is the art of growing miniature trees and plants in containers, and over the last two or three decades its popularity has just grown out of all proportion.  It is the fascination of being able to miniaturize fully grown trees or simply being able to create something beautiful.
         Bonsai trees are also good for health.  Growing and caring for Bonsai quickly became a passion of many and has found its way to India.  Growing of Bonsai trees are a great stress reliever.
         Bonsai trees require proper water, care, trimming and fertilizing to be healthy.  Indoor plants including Bonsai can purify the air in homes.


       
         Penjing generally in three categories:-
         Tree Penjing:- It focuses on the depiction of one or more trees and optionally other plants in a container with the compositions.
         Landscape Penjing:- It depicts a miniature landscape by carefully selective and shaping rocks, small live plants are placed within the composition to complete the depiction.
         Water and Land Penjing:- It is a combination of first two penjings and give the structures to portray a landscape.
