Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the advantages of preserved bonsai trees over traditional living bonsai trees?Preserved bonsai trees offer several advantages, including zero maintenance requirements, eternal beauty, and eco-friendliness. They require no watering, pruning, or specialized care, making them ideal for individuals who may not have the time or expertise for traditional bonsai tree maintenance. Preserved bonsai trees also maintain their beauty indefinitely, and their preservation techniques are environmentally conscious, minimizing the ecological impact associated with living bonsai trees.
-
Are preserved bonsai trees truly natural?Yes, preserved bonsai trees are indeed natural. The leaves and branches undergo a preservation process that replaces the leaves sap with a natural preservation solution, effectively halting the decaying process while maintaining their natural beauty. The trunks were also once living, but are dried. The result is a lifelike, preserved bonsai tree that requires no additional care or maintenance.
-
How long do preserved bonsai trees last?Preserved bonsai trees can last for several years and sometimes even decades if they are well-cared for and protected from excessive humidity, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. With proper handling and display, these trees can maintain their pristine appearance and provide lasting enjoyment.
-
Can preserved bonsai trees be displayed outdoors?Preserved bonsai trees are intended for indoor display. They are delicately preserved to maintain their beauty, and exposure to outdoor elements like rain, direct sunlight, and fluctuating temperatures will deteriorate their appearance. To ensure their longevity and pristine condition, it is recommended to keep preserved bonsai trees indoors or in a protected environment.
-
Do preserved bonsai trees require any special cleaning or dusting?Preserved bonsai trees are generally low maintenance in terms of cleaning.

Can I trim or reshape a preserved bonsai tree?Preserved bonsai trees are not intended to be trimmed or reshaped.

Can preserved bonsai trees be repotted?Preserved bonsai trees do not require repotting.
