Ultra Small Bonsai Trees

Cho-Mini Bonsai are Made with Cramped Spaces in Mind

— May 21, 2014 — Unique
The art of bonsai plants is something that has evolved over time, resulting in the Cho-Mini Bonsai. Also known as ultra small bonsai, it is a series of plants that are no bigger than a coin, measuring about three centimeters in height. They were created with cramped Japanese homes in mind. Although a common practice in many Asian communities, caring for bonsai has suffered as populations rise. Cho-Mini Bonsai is a cute solution.

A growing fad in many cities, Cho-Mini Bonsai even come with adorable planters that mimic the larger porcelain kawaii pots other parts of the world are familiar with. Tiny gardening supplies and mini display shelves are also available for Cho-Mini Bonsai fanatics. The traditional art form is sure to thrive thanks to this fad. People can even have more than one.
Trend Themes
1. Ultra Small Plants - The trend of creating ultra small plants for cramped spaces, such as the Cho-Mini Bonsai, may open up opportunities for plant companies to reach urban customers who are limited by space.
2. Miniature Gardening - The trend of miniature gardening that accompanies the Cho-Mini Bonsai may offer disruptive opportunities for companies to create tools and supplies specifically for tiny plants and gardens.
3. Micro-decor - The trend of using ultra small bonsai trees as a form of micro-decor suggests an opportunity for interior design companies to incorporate these tiny plants into spaces and furnishings.
Industry Implications
1. Plant and Garden - Companies that specialize in plants and gardening could take advantage of the need for ultra small plants for urban areas and create a niche market around tiny plants.
2. Home Decor - Home decor companies could tap into the mini gardening trend and create miniature plant displays and furnishings to complement the Cho-Mini Bonsai and other tiny plants.
3. Asian-inspired Products - Companies that create products inspired by Asian cultures could expand their offerings to include planters and supplies that are tailored to the Japanese art of bonsai and the new trend of ultra small plants.
