Hi & Welcome,
Bonsai ... are you ambitious. I bought one once it cost a lot of money and lasted a week. I threatened to laquer it and keep it as a knic-knac. I was soooooooo upset. I had read books and was getting ready to go out and spend the earth on special stuff for it when it started dropping all it's needle clusters.
Now I have my eye on some dwarf evergreen ground cover that is
growing in my "
weed patch". It seems to be hardy and likes the shady areas and when I brought one in before sending it to a friend it did well inside. So I am in the process of building an interior landscape that will include 2 of them.
I hope you have every success with your project. I look forward to hearing more about them. I keep looking at the lacy red maple
seeds for a bonsai but I am chicken.
