Rental KUROMATSU So it's wednesday it means we got new bonsai today! This little fella is 80 years old! If you'd like more photos please ask! I'll answer some questions already for people who want to know more about rental bonsai. In Japan there is a service for a rental bonsai. We have signed contract for around ~150k yen a month. In exchange we have new bonsai each week for our entrance. What do I do with it? I'm only giving water. The company is collecting the bonsai from us and then they put it outside for at least 2 weeks. Did we ever got the same bonsai? No. We've been doing the rental from November last year and still not got the same bonsai. The company we're working with has AT LEAST 2000 bonsai in their possession! How do they have 2k bonsai? So in Japan you can go for bonsai hunting and just pick up the tree you like and put it in the pot. You only need a permission from the local office. They also buy a lot of neglected bonsai and make them look more like bonsai not just a tree. Originally by u/kireishogun on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/27s3jl8p
