Hamba phansi ngendlela ye-Crespi Bonsai Museum eMilan futhi uzobona isihlahla esikhule iminyaka engaphezu kwe-1000. Iminyaka eyinkulungwane engamamitha angu-10 ubude izungezwe izitshalo ezihlotshisiwe eziye zaphila amakhulu eminyaka, zimanzisa ilanga lase-Italy. ngaphansi kombhoshongo wengilazi kuyilapho abalungisi abangochwepheshe bejwayele izidingo zayo.Abasebenzi be-bonsai besikhathi eside abafana nabo bazothola inqubo ilula kunesidina, futhi uhlobo lwasekhaya lwesifanekiso lunikeza abaqalayo indlela elula, eyanelisayo yokuphumula.
I-bonsai ehunyushwa cishe ngokuthi "i-tray planting," ibhekisela kumkhuba waseJapane wokutshala izitshalo ezimbizeni, kusukela ekhulwini le-6 noma ngaphambili. Le ndlela isebenza ezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo, ezitshalweni eziphelele ezihlala ngaphakathi, njengetiye elincane. isihlahla (Carmona microphylla), ezinhlobonhlobo ezithanda ngaphandle, njengomsedari obomvu wasempumalanga (Junipurus virginia).

Isihlahla esisesithombeni iBanyan yaseShayina (i-Ficus microcarpa), ibhonsai esaqalayo esivamile ngenxa yemvelo yaso ecebile kanye nomzala onomusa wasendlini wobuciko bobuciko baseMilanese. Simila ngokomdabu kulo lonke elase-Asia eshisayo nase-Australia, futhi indawo yaso ejabulisayo ifana neyabantu. : izinga lokushisa liphakathi kuka-55 no-80 degrees, futhi kunomswakama othile emoyeni.Kudinga ukuniselwa kanye ngesonto, futhi abalimi abanolwazi bazogcina befunda ukusho ngokunembile ukuthi yomile ngokusekelwe esisindweni sebhodwe. Njenganoma yisiphi isitshalo, idinga inhlabathi ehlanzekile, kodwa njalo ngemva kweminyaka emithathu, yilapho futhi isimiso sezimpande esiqinile—esiboshwe isitsha esiqinile samatshe—kufanele sithenwe njalo.
Nakuba isithombe esivamile sokunakekelwa kwebhonsai sihilela ukuthenwa okubanzi, izihlahla eziningi - kuhlanganise ne-ficus - zidinga ukusika ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela.Kwanele ukusika igatsha libe amaqabunga amabili ngemva kokuba selihlume ayisithupha noma ayisishiyagalombili. ngobumnene bawalolonge abe yizimo ezijabulisayo.
Ngokunikezwa ukunakwa okwanele, i-banyan yaseShayina izokhula ibe i-microcosm ekhangayo.Ekugcineni, izimpande zasemoyeni zizokwehla zivela emagatsheni njengama-organic party streamers, njengokungathi ukugubha ukuthi ungumzali omkhulu wesitshalo.Ngokunakekelwa okufanele, lesi sihlahla esincane esijabulisayo singakwazi phila amakhulu eminyaka.
