Floating Bonsai is the new thing!

This ain't magic. Lets find out what's this Floating Bonsai is.

Kickstarter project "Air Bonsai" combines together magnetic levitation,
wee plants and traditional Japanese "monozukuri" 

Bonsai's are just small plants we see inside our house, but Kickstarter made something what will make you want a lot of Bonsai in your house!

There’s a Kickstarter campaign pitching a Bonsai tree set that will allow your plants to float. A bonsai tree that floats via magnetic levitation, its a combination of tradition and technology.

These floating plants is the kind of magic we see in an anime movie, so this magical Kickstarter campaign comes from no other than the best in invention country, Japan.

Some of the different base and planter variants

The magical Air Bonsai is consists of two components, the platform that will hold the plant is call the "little star", it holds an embedded magnet, with the tree carried in either a sponge ball or a carved volcanic stone planter just 2.3-inches in diameter.

The bottom portion that makes it float is called the "energy base", the base contains strong magnets to lift the tree, along with a motor to rotate the magnets and the tree that is floating above.

The Air Bonsai mixes the old tradition of training miniature bonsai, with modern technology to float the tiny tree in mid air.

Air Bonsai is comprised of two components: the top half “little star” and bottom half “energy base”.

It was invented by Hoshinchu, a small company in Kyushu, Japan. The creators indicate that the plant's weight shouldn't exceed 300 grams if want it to work. The plant can be housed in a moss ball grown around a sponge bowl for support or lava stone pot.

"[W]e are limited to export and carry any plants outside of Japan. To solve this matter, we have support from our team members in the United States who will negotiate with regional bonsai and plant makers. We remind you that the bonsai for our prototypes is just an image. The actual plants we will be using to send to you is for example 'matsu,' a pine tree from your country," Hoshinchu says.

The pack starts at $200, you can get an Air Bonsai starter kit, which includes a magnetic base 15 cent across by 6 cent high, and a mossy ball that will be the home of your plant.

For $230 you can upgrade your floating bonsai to one made of pumice.

But if you want a personalized tour around the garden and workshop behind the project, you can pay $10,000. And as well as handmade cushion, base and star.
