Few people are not enchanted by the beautiful miniature trees growing in small containers called Bonsai. It is a true art form in gardening to train such wonderful plants. So many are drawn into growing a Bonsai themselves, but find it to be a much more daunting task than they expected.

Those who still wish to grow Bonsai plants may wish to start with an "indoor" version, where the dwarfed plant is a tropical or sub-tropical species that otherwise would be considered a houseplant. They can be grown indoors without special attention to adapting to a year-round temperate climate.

Indoor Bonsai require bright light, but not direct sunlight. They must never be allowed to dry out.
