      Bonsai’s only requirement are that they are grown in pots.

      The word “Bon-sai” (often misspelled as bonzai or banzai) is a Japanese term which, literally translated, means “planted in a container”.

      The gardener decides how big a bonsai tree grows. A bonsai tree can grow up to 60-80 inches (152-203 centimeters) or it can be as small as 1-3 inches (3-8 centimeters).
