In the strict sense only tree species or very hardy type perennials can be made a bonsai. It has to survive at least 25 or 30 years in our captivity. But now a days all kinds of plants are made into bonsai for. We just need to know growing habits and pot culture to nurture , shape it and prune the way we desire.


Hence poinsettias can be made to bonsai provided we make big bonsai of nearly 1 meter high in big flat pots. But flowering of such Xmas plants will be towards the end of calander year as you know. It is also possible to influence flowering by florigens or artificial lighting. Aralias could be obtained from seed culture in a tissue culture lab.
