Bring the Tranquility of Bonsai to Your Home

The writing itself is warm and engaging, and you can tell the author truly loves bonsai. There’s a whole section about pruning and wiring techniques that could have been dry, but instead, it reads like a guide from a friend who’s excited to share their knowledge. The parts about Jin and Shari—techniques that make trees look ancient and weathered—felt almost like learning a secret bonsai artist trick. I also appreciated the chapter about soil and watering, which finally explained in simple terms why my plants always seemed to struggle. I was either drowning them or letting them dry out completely.
