The word bonsai is pronounced, bone-sigh and, although several people know the plant as a little green miniature tree, the word actually translates to tree in a pot, which is not too difficult for even the newest gardener to understand. What is most interesting is that the definition includes the concept that the tree and the pot should complement each other.
The tree is, by tradition, supposed to give the illusion of age. Thus, much of the gardening and tending of the tree involves grooming to make the tree look old. Because the term bonsai refers to the setting of the tree and not the species, it is up to the discretion of the gardener to choose an appropriate species for his or her plot.
There are, however, bonsai trees passed down from generation to generation in older Asian families.

Special Needs
Unbelievably, there are social circles of people who grow bonsai trees. Experienced and novice gardeners can talk and compare common issues, such as stunted growth, or region-specific pest control. The first thing a newcomer to the group will learn is that there is far more involved in owning a bonsai tree than just watering it. If you aren' t available to water the tree one or two times a day (as required), you' ll have to consult a house sitter (or tree doctor) to perform the tasks for you; it will not be a regular schedule.
Soil is one of the most important considerations when growing a bonsai tree, especially with watering (above). The soil needs to be well drained, and suitable for your area; in any case, it should be coarse. There are many different mediums relating to soil and content, and bonsai experts (or seasoned veterans) can provide information about using the different types of material together. Because of the different types of material, your soil might be anything but soil. This is why fertilizer knowledge is important.
