## What is Idle Bonsai?

Every bonsai you grow is one of a kind.

Idle Bonsai is a calm incremental game about tending a tree that's genuinely yours. Each tree grows procedurally — branch by branch, shaped by how you water, prune, and care for it. No two ever grow the same.

It grows while you're away. Check in for a quiet minute of pruning, set things in motion, and come back to find your tree taller, fuller, and a little more itself. No timers begging you to return — your bonsai just grows.

Shape it. Sell it. Start again. When a tree's story is done, score it, sell it, and begin a new one — every finished bonsai is remembered in your collection, and every new seed grows differently.

## Key features

- Unique procedurally generated trees

### 5/5 — Hidden gem!

*2026-07-15*

Edit: Mini Torii is completed by journal, but it's not unlocked as decoration. Am I missing something?
I think upgrade at workshop is permanent, but when I start new bonsai, it’s reset…


Very relaxing and comfortable game play!! 
It's very fun to edit my bonsai with a lot of different ways. I didn't unlock everything yet, so can't wait to see what will happen to my bonsai with them :D
It’s wonderful I can pause the game when I sleep!
