Trees naturally respond to conditions in order to survive. By regularly pruning the roots, a bonsai artist causes the tree to respond with smaller leaves and slower branch/trunk growth, to maintain balance between the amount of roots and the amount of foliage those roots have to support with nutrients.

While many bonsai plants are best started from seed there are many which cannot be so reproduced; especially named varieties which will not come true from seeds, but revert to older and inferior types. Also it very frequently happens that one has a choice bonsai plant of some sort of which the seed is not to be obtained, and in this case also it becomes necessary to reproduce the bonsai in some other way. Where large numbers of bonsai plants are to be started, and they may be had from seed, that is usually the best way in which to work up a supply: but where only a few are wanted, as for house plants or use in a small garden, propagation by cuttings is the quickest and most satisfactory method. Practically all of the bonsai plants, including most of those which can be started from seed, may be increased in this way. Deep-cut Bonsai is a widely used technique to grow Jade bonsai.

When did bonsai start?

The art of bonsai making has a very long history. In fact, it has been around for centuries. It is believed that in the beginning this practice was called Punsai, which means growing a tree in a pot. The first countries that popularize the art of bonsai making are China and Japan. Only recently it has spread to Europe and America. Other than Chinese, Japanese people are also well known for their ability in making bonsai plants. Around 794 to 1191 during the Heian period, Chinese people introduced the way to make bonsai to Japanese monks. They learned the process and started cultivating bonsai plants in monasteries. These monks were the first people in Japan who knew how to cultivate the plants. pretty sure its uncertain where it really came from or who started it but its been around and shared for a long time.
