Objective:
Can be used as a key chain or just a stationary item on a desk or on a locker door (comes with a stick-on magnet). For those who would like to experience a no mess, minimal care, feng shui agreeable living thing, there is Pocket Bonsai! Pocket Bonsai is a small plant in a plastic container that can be watered from a hole at the bottom and has room to grow above. Because of the container, the plant will create for itself a greenhouse in warm, lush, temperatures, which will contribute to the overall health and well being of the plant. The kind of plant chosen for this item is the succulent Jade tree, which is very hardy and very slow growing. It is also a species of tree that is already used in bonsai horticulture. When the Jade tree grows out of the container, the owner can pry it open and plant the tree in a pot.
Instructions to take care of Pocket Bonsai:
- 1 drop of water every day via hole at bottom
- place in bright areas of light but avoid direct sunlight for long periods of time
Why is Pocket Bonsai Fun?
Pocket Bonsai can be comparable to virtual pets such as Tamagotchi, Neopets and also many other role playing games such as The Sims and Nintendogs. It is the same reason why people are enthusiastic about the idea of a real pet; a creature to take care of and to see grow over time. People find it fun to have a leisurely responsibility that has nothing to do with work and more to do with play. Pocket Bonsai is fun because it gives the owner the responsibility and gratification of a pet, in the convenience of a key chain or a piece of locker décor. The final gift that Pocket Bonsai will give it’s own is the satisfaction when it grows out of it’s container.
