Hey! I recently became interested in bonsai and wanted to take a shot at it- I mean, how hard can it be?... (Gulp...)
I’ve never had a particular interest in plants, but have always had a strange love for bugs, and all animals. I wanted to make my enclosures pop a little more, they seem to dull. I’m currently using fake plants for my praying mantises. I was browsing the web looking for plants and saw a bonsai tree. I fell in love. Period. I decided I NEEDED one, whether or not I would put it in my praying mantis enclosure or not. Forget about mantis’s, I’ve doscoverded bonsai trees! Enough of my ranting- let me get to the point. Now I wanted to buy one or two and need some recommendations that are begginer friendly, and indoor. I’ve a attached a picture of the kind of tree I may want.
I also don’t want to grow from a seed , I want something at least 5 inches tall. Here is a list I’ve compiled of trees I like, but I don’t know if they are begginer friendly, and some I can’t find for sale. Here’s the list: Aleppo Pine, Hedge Maple, Silver Wattle, Norway Spruce, Japanese Red Pine, and obviously Juniper. I’ve found these in a seed pack, but not as adults.
I especially want the silver wattle, but again- can’t find it. The juniper I can find easily though. I also want a “kit” with everything I need. I know this is all very specific and was wondering if anyone could shoot me a private message and lemme know if they have any of these trees for sale. Don’t message me regarding juniper, I find those everywhere. Thanks

None of the trees are beginner friendly. That would you have found out if you read about it.

I know the easist way is to ask your questions in the forum. But do as we did read all about you can and go to bonsai clubs. And then come and ask us your questions. But please at least read the basics.

I actually did do some researc. Ifound a kit on amazon with all the trees listed (but as seeds) and look what it says “Top 5 easiest trees to grow from seed”. I’m sorry but I thought that was true. Thank you for informing me that they are not. But no need to be rude about it. I will do a bit more digging on some beginner friendly trees, if anyone has any recommendations that would be greatly appreciated.

No one was being rude. The species may well be easy to grow from seed that does not make them easy beginners species. If you want something to grow indoors then try cacti or orchids but only a few species can tolerate conditions inside and none that you mentioned will.

I’m sorry. I am going to re-state my question now that I have done some more research.

What bonsai trees are good for beginners and are fine to grow indoor?

I am sorry if I came across as impolite, I did not mean to. I was having a bit of a stressful day.

Most bonsai require some outdoors. If you think about it, all plants are really outdoor plants, because thats where they grow naturally. 名媛直播 are just little trees of their big brothers shaped to stay small. We generally keep our houses held at a temperature reflective of a reasonably warm climate. However some bonsai tolerate indoors because they grow up in warm climates. But they need moisture, and natural light which is associated with most warm climates, (that aren't desert). Typically our houses don't have much natural light (unless you have a sunroof which believe it or not I have seen) or some serious windows and or skylights. Most houses are dry because of heat and air-conditioning, while warm climates generally are moist. So even the indoor bonsai need special care.

The Fiscus is a good beginner. Both easy to maintain (considering it is a bonsai), and tolerate indoor climates. Sign up for the beginner course on this website. It has all the basics. You can research from there.

There are no beginner friendly bonsai. 名媛直播 is an art that requries years of study, practice and talent.

If you are looking for seeds to grow bonsai, you haven't really done research.

I would argue this person is doing their research right now. Food for thought

welcome to the empire.
Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Looking for information. Making up your mind, asking for input before taking the plunge. Well-done. It safes you from a lot of headaches later on.

As commented earlier.. To really grow bonsai, you ideally have the option to put the trees outside. And.. Starting bonsai from seed is fun, and I would recommend all to do this. But it is a long process where a lot can go wrong. So in order to get some results get some plants that are more mature. It will greatly enhance the fun you are having.

Trees that may live inside most of the year (But will have a hard time, regardless) are ficus, Chinese elm, Brazilian raintree, Chinese privets.

Do not buy from amazon / ikea / alibaba unless you know what you are doing. Have a look at this article to help you get on the right track:

Hello, Major, welcome!
I live in a tropical country (Brazil), so I can keep many bonsai inside as there is no freezing temps nor dryness of the environment due to artificial heating.
Good: Ficus, Chinese Elm, Calliandras (Powder-Puffs), BRT, all succulents like Jade (Crassula Ovata or Portucalaria Afra).
Maybe (with lots and lots of light): Boxwood, Firethorn, Serissas, Wisteria.
NO WAY: Pines (JBP, JWP, JRP, and so on), Junipers, Quinces (Japanese and Chinese), Ume (Prunus Mume), Sakura.

I hope it helps.
But... My climate helps a lot. Now, summer solstice, we are having 14 hors/day of sunlight. And 35C (95F) every day.
