  • Bonsai

 

Unlike other plants, bonsai doesn’t produce fruits, vegetables or medicine. It is basically a small tree that looks very good. The main purpose of growing a bonsai at home is to imply the discipline of the person who grew it.

Bonsais originated from China and are now available around the globe. Growing a bonsai is considered no less than art because growing a plant in a container isn’t as easy as it sounds and it needs frequent trimming and great care. Do not forget to repot it when it starts to grow in size.

 

  • Carnivore Plants

 

The growing requirements of these plants are a bit different from others. It doesn’t need a nutrient rich soil to grow, it grows in soil which has poor nutrients. As far as watering these plants go, avoid using tap water because water that contains minerals can over fertilize them.

Go to any tree care company and ask for a carnivore plant, they are available easily.
