I didn't really get the first part. I didn't post any pictures (at least not yet) and I don't recall telling anyone about my brickwork.

My mistake! :pinch: It was rolex who was talking about brickwork.

But bricks make fine places to set your trees :whistle:

Ok, I was thinking that this was a bit creepy. XD I do have a table that I can use to display a tree or two.

okay i just made this account to reply to this 5 year old post and idk if you people are even active in this forum anymore, but i really couldn't stand leaving a great question like this with sassy little answers like "yeah, if you WANT TO KILL IT!" or "umm, what about growing ficus instead?" especially in case some wandering soul ends up seeing this thread and thinking those people are correct
there are plenty of magnolia species from the tropics that have potential as houseplants and also a few that are already relatively common houseplants, namely magnolia (michelia) figo and magnolia liliifera (talauma candollei) , the banana and egg magnolias respectively. they grow well in relatively shadier conditions in comparison to most magnolias, and can definitely be grown in a bright spot in your house
you could also experiment with other "michelia" type magnolias such as champaca (which i believe is already a common bonsai subject) or any small, evergreen magnolia that is advertised as zone 10 or above and hell, you could even try dwarf cultivars of grandiflora as that beast of a plant grows well into the tropics!

Hello.

Yes we are active on this forum.

I understand, but 名媛直播 are not houseplants, there are many plants that would survive indoors, and only a few trees that would, but there's always the climate of the subject to consider.
"Indoors" is very relative, as it could mean a greenhouse, a spot nearby window or sometimes (as people think) a living room, which is not the right meaning.

It's correct to point out the most suitable species for indoors, many people come here with dead junipers for example, because they were kept indoors...
That being said, Ann Magnolia is a deciduous tree, and I wouldn't recommend anyone to grow deciduous trees indoors, deciduous trees need temperature and light gradients to go properly dormant, on proper times of the year as they need.

In my understandment, 名媛直播 is not just about surviving trees, but about thriving trees.

At the end, may be rough and short, but it's a realistic answer when in context.
And just have in mind that people take some of their free time to answer each other, that alone is already helping. Not all have time to elaborate.

Cheers.

Just show us a nice magnolia bonsai grown in living room conditions. The fact that there are species that can survive indoors do not mean they can be trained as bonsai indoors.

I would say that there are not one species in the world that let itself be trained to show quality bonsai tree in living room conditions.

Just if some poor sole passes by thinking about growing magnolia indoors..
If you find a magnolia at home-depot, that is a temperate species which should not be kept indoors. Naturally if you are in the tropics, or buy one from the heathouse section in a plant store, the story might be different.

In general however, do not try to grow magnolia indoors if you want it to live.

Most of the people participating in the forum here are not native speakers of English. Mostly their English is really very good, and sometimes better than a lot of native English speakers writing on Facebook, but occasionally the English here is not perfect. Occasionally they say things more tersely than they would in the language they grew up in, sometimes use idioms from their language, and sometimes have less than perfect grammar. I rarely see anything worse here than I see on Facebook or other media. Most of the writers here learned English from sources in England rather than sources in the US, and for that reason they usually use England English usages, which sometimes seem strange to us US English speakers.

It helps to read something here and look through it to what was meant to say. As the world turns we are going to be exposed to more and more people from more and more places and we cannot expect them all to speak English just the way it was spoken on our block growing up. Daily I talk with people from China, India, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America, not to mention far off places like New York and San Francisco and the occasional Australian. We have to hear what each other says and listen to what they mean.

I have never seen advice on growing bonsai said on the forum here that I thought was meant to offend or insult.

I dont even understand Ivans reply to that post. It looks like Ivan responds to someone offended, but I could not interpretate it as that. From Sweden and talks english every day at work.

The guy was complaining about the IF YOU WANT TO KILL IT post. There have been others who over reacted to similar statements. I have seen similar misunderstanding here in Alabama when people from New Jersey or other places with distinctive accents don't talk like a native of the South.

I am impressed with the level of English by everybody here. I can stumble along in German but not at the level of English here.
