Preparation of Materials
Before starting to create a stone bonsai, we need to prepare the following materials:

4. Humus soil: Used for planting plants to maintain soil fertility and breathability.
5. Decorative items: Such as small pebbles, small branches, etc., to enrich the visual effect of the bonsai.
Selection of Stones
Selecting stones is the first step in creating a stone bonsai. Ideal stones should have the following characteristics:

Placement of Stones
Place the stones in the bonsai pot, taking note of the following points:

3. Use small pebbles or other decorative items to secure the stones and prevent them from moving.
Planting Plants
Plant the plants around the stones with the following steps:
1. Dig a small hole at the bottom of the stone and put in an appropriate amount of humus soil.
2. Place the plant in the hole, adjust the position, and make it harmonize with the stone.
3. Fill in the humus soil, gently compact it to ensure the plant roots are in close contact with the soil.
Decoration and Maintenance
After completing the basic creation of the stone bonsai, the following decoration and maintenance work can be done:
1. Add decorative items: Such as small pebbles, small branches, etc., to enrich the visual effect of the bonsai.
