BONSAI POTATO CRAZYNESS
Some time ago, I found this crazy thing on the net and it changed the way I look at plants!
At first I was a little sceptic. I was nervous about the smell or the overall reaction of the potato.
But I decided to go for it.
On the website you can buy a Bonsai Potato Kit but I decided to make it myself from the botttom and the result was fantastic.
Here, in this Lens, you see a photo of my first potato, I did more than one, but unfortunatly I didn't photograph them all.
Have a look at THE ONE further down this lens.
Have fun!
How to grow....
Summary
Starting with a nasty sprouted spud will make this activity all the more fun while you create your own bonsai potato. This is a perfect use for those recently rediscovered spuds that might be otherwise headed for the trash. All you need to do is plant it in a pot and with patience and careful pruning, you too can create a bonsai potato.

"THE ONE"
My first experience as a Bonsai Potato newbie
As you can see on the photo, this is not a dream - This is for real A Bonsai Potato and anyone can do it! Just go ahead and get your old potatoes growing :) What you need to do your own
- A potato with shoots
Put a fresh potato in the dark moisty place in a couple of days, and the shoots will come - Something to put it on
You can use any dish or anything that is not too tall. I needs lot of light - Water
You need to sprinkle the potato with water every day to get the best result - Control
If the potato begins to rotten, it is a bad potato and you will have to throw it out before it begins to smell - Light
A Bonsai Poatato needs a lot of light, but not direct sun
