There are people who neither have green thumbs nor the patience to take care of plants. And I belong to that population. Although I grew up in a home surrounded by plants, I have not taken any interest in them. It was only when I moved out and had a house of my own that I suddenly developed an appreciation for them.
However, as I have admitted earlier, I do not have what it takes to take care of a real, living plant. I looked for other options and came across this bonsai tree made out of cardboard. It was the perfect project for me as I love to work with my hands.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll like this DIY cardboard bonsai tree. You’ll end up with a plant that requires zero maintenance. You can also give this out to family and friends. I’m pretty sure they’ll appreciate the thought and effort put into the gift.
