I mean, why bother? A portulacaria isn't even a real bonsai, right? What a waste, taking the time to wire every branch. Tropical bonsai is just a fad. I should be working on junipers......7yr ⋅ Adamaskwhy ⋅ r/Bonsai

Here's a good question:What is bonsai to you? Not the technical definition but the things it does for you, or means to you, or what demons does it exorcise (or exercise) in you.
