'from Cuttings' names the cheapest way into bonsai, but 'Part 3' tells a stranger they're joining a series midway, which can put off first-time viewers.
The red arrow picks out one small tree on a display stand, but the text repeats the title's words when a photo of the original cutting would add more.
If your method starts from something cheap or tiny, show the finished result with an arrow on it. Put the humble starting point in the image too, rather than repeating the title's words, so the jump is visible.
Show the cheap start and where it leads, not the title twice.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
