Bonsai spider plant


Here's a miniature bonsai spider in a 1" sake cup .

This bonsai was started in 1998 from 3 baby spider plants, then too tiny to see much over the edge of the 1" sake cup.

Two of the plants have survived. The cup is filled with water once a week; the roots and leaves are pruned as needed.
