One is detailed growing instructions. Detailed on care of your tree. Our business information is on the sheet as well. The 2nd paper is our business information and feedback sheet so we can get a clear understanding of the experience.

Bonsai (盆栽, tree in pot) is a Japanese and Chinese art form using trees grown in containers.
Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penzai or penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years.
