1. Bonsai is an ancient gardening art from Asia. Specifically, bonsai is a Japanese word meaning a small tree in a pot. But it's more than that. Bonsai is an old Chinese art where you make a tiny garden in a flat pot. The Japanese helped improve it, using creativity and skills to create a small Zen Buddhist garden with a tiny tree in a natural place. Bonsai represents peace, harmony, and happiness.

2. You can make your bonsai tree from cutting a tree or shrub you like. Let your imagination go wild as you design your garden. Use small rocks or stones to make a path or a pond. You might even imagine a tiny bridge or a mountain made of rocks. It takes time and patience, but a bonsai garden can last for many years with care.

3. Your tree needs air, water, and nutrients to grow strong roots. Use particular soil for bonsai that helps with air, drainage, and keeping water. To make a gravel-like base, you need a clay-like material like pumice or lava rock. It's a good idea to buy the suitable soil. Fertilize your tree regularly during the growing season and learn about your specific tree needs. Once your bonsai is ready, you might need a unique curved clipper tool to cut thicker branches than a pencil. Use coated wire to shape your tree the way you want.

-> What is the main idea of the passage?
