E hele ma ke ala o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Bonsai Crespi ma Milan a ʻike ʻoe i kahi lāʻau e ulu ana no nā makahiki 1000. ʻO ka 10-foot-tall millennial is flanked by manicured plants that have also lived for century, soaking up the Italian sun beneath a glass tower while professional groomers tend to its needs. o ka specimen hāʻawi i nā poʻe hoʻomaka i kahi ala maʻalahi a ʻoluʻolu i ka hoʻomaha.
ʻO ka bonsai i unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he "tray planting," e pili ana ka bonsai i ka hana Kepani o ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu i loko o nā ipuhao, mai ka makahiki 6 a i ʻole ma mua. Ke hana nei ke ʻano no nā ʻano pua like ʻole, mai nā mea kanu maikaʻi e noho ana i loko, e like me ka lāʻau kī liʻiliʻi (Carmona microphylla), i nā ʻano ʻano makemake i waho, e like me ke kedera ʻulaʻula hikina (Junipurus virginia).

ʻO ka lāʻau i kiʻi ʻia ʻo ka Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa), kahi bonsai hoʻomaka maʻamau ma muli o kona ʻano waiwai a me kona hoahānau pili i loko o ka hale hana Milanese. Ua ulu maoli ʻo ia ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAsia a me Australia, a ua like kona wahi hauʻoli me nā kānaka: aia ka mahana ma waena o 55 a 80 degere, a aia kekahi mau wai i ka lewa. make wai ma muli o ke kaumaha o ka ipuhao. E like me nā mea kanu, pono ia i ka lepo hou, akā i kēlā me kēia makahiki a ʻekolu paha makahiki, ʻo ia hoʻi ka wā e ʻoki mau ʻia ai kahi aʻa ikaika-i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e kahi ipu pōhaku paʻa.
ʻOiai ʻo ke kiʻi maʻamau o ka mālama bonsai e pili ana i ka ʻoki nui ʻana, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kumulāʻau - me ka ficus - koi wale i ka ʻoki ʻana i kekahi manawa.
Hāʻawi ʻia i ka nānā pono ʻana, e ulu ka banyan Kina i kahi microcosm kupaianaha. ʻO ka hopena, e iho mai nā aʻa lewa mai nā lālā e like me nā streamers party organik, me he mea lā e hoʻolauleʻa nei he makua kanu nui ʻoe. Me ka mālama pono, hiki i kēia lāʻau liʻiliʻi hauʻoli ke ola no nā kenekulia.
