Potted dwarf trees cultivated by a plant fancier attracted special interest of visitors at the recent national plants exhibition, “Plants of the DPRK-2024”.
The presenter of the trees was Kim Son Hwa, who is just around 60 and lives in Misan-dong No. 2 of Taesong District, Pyongyang. She was satisfied with her success at the show.
In the course of cultivating potted plants, people keenly feel the beauty of nature and come to have noble personality, rich emotion and optimism about life, she said.
It was seven years ago that Kim, who had been growing only flowering plants in her family, developed an interest in potted plants when she saw a potted dwarf zelkova tree in her friend’s house.
The tree taking roots in all directions, fresh moss covering the earth surface, rough tree trunk and green leaves reminded her of a reduced old tree. Admiring it for a long time, she had an impulse to grow a potted dwarf tree.
“However, it was not an easy job to be well versed in the cultivation of potted trees. I had to trim an attractive plant in a formative artistic way after planting it in a pot, while restricting its growth. I also had to acquire profound knowledge and artistic insight and skills,” she recalled.
At the beginning, she suffered mental agony, but with strenuous efforts and perseverance, she could make progress a few years later and her relevant skills got refined gradually.
In the course of representing plants on philosophical themes in an artistic way, she also grew up spiritually, she said, adding such charm can be felt only from the cultivation of potted plants.
She hoped that other people would cultivate their life more beautifully and excellently while cultivating potted plants.
