Top Four Most Popular Bonsai Starts
Before we go into the top four most popular bonsai, let’s first answer the most common bonsai question we get,” “What is a Bonsai Start?” Bonsai Starts are small plants that are used to create bonsai. They come in 4″ or 6″ containers and can be then groomed into a bonsai plant. Theses particular varieties of plants are used specifically to create bonsai. The four most popular selling bonsai starts are as follows:
- Mini Jade Bonsai – Here you will see multiple branches that can be trimmed and groomed. This particular Mini Jade Bonsai is in a 4″ pot. They are also available in a 6″ pot.
2. Luseane Bonsai – The Luseane Bonsai is also referred to as a draft Schefflera Arboricola. This particular bonsai plant, however, was patented and named after the person who invented it, Luseane. Here again, you will notice a small 4″ pot and multiple branches that can be trimmed and groomed into a bonsai.
3. Ficus Nerifolia – The Ficus Nerifolia Bonsai Start has narrow long leaves. It can come with a straight truck or coiled truck as noticed in the pictures below. Again, what we look for in a bonsai plant are multiple branches that can be pinched, trimmed and groomed into shapes that are desirable and create the Art of Bonsai.
4. Ficus Green Island Bonsai- The fourth most popular bonsai start is the Ficus Green Island Bonsai Start. You will see a theme with the top four selling bonsai in the multiple branches that can be trimmed and shaped into the desired shape of your bonsai plant. I was recently in Japan and saw a bonsai plant that was hundreds of years old and shaped in a circle.
