A bonsai is not a genetically dwarfed plant and is not kept small by cruelty in any way. In another term bonsai establishes a connecting link between art and science. There are many myths which are associated with bonsai. These not only provide confusion for budding enthusiasts, but give the pastime a bad name for anyone not quite experienced in the area. Seeds or cuttings from young trees and stunted tree can be used for bonsai cultivation in containers. Over 2000 years ago china has the technology for bonsai cultivation, so it is regarded as the first country where bonsai first appeared at basic scale. Japanese contribute an extraordinary role in refining the art of china for bonsai, so Japanese are also credited for its introduction in the world. Bonsai were brought indoors for display at special times by the ‘Japanese elite’ and became an important part of Japanese life by being displayed on specially designed shelves. Bonsai has tremendous commercial potential for its ornamental value.
