Perhaps the greatest of these is a gradual deepening of your relationship with nature. Taking care of bonsai makes you highly attuned to the seasons and aware of the minute but significant changes in the trees over time. In an accelerating and pressurized world, bonsai offers access to a slower and more natural pace of life.
Spending just a few minutes a day watering, checking, and appreciating your trees, and being fully present in those moments, is a form of mindfulness— a technique now widely used to reduce stress, improve mood, and address depression. Being around nature and touching plants and soil has proven mental health benefits and many people find solace.
