Question
hello, im in college and i wanted an indoor bonsai, what kind should i get, what are the care instructions and what kind of materials/tools should i get?

Answer
Hi Travis,

Are you in a dorm and/or a room with a window. Bonsai trees need a lot of light. You have a few options to consider, but i would recommend a Dwarf Jade, Hawaiian Umbrella, or ficus. These are great indoor trees and great for beginners. You can check out websites like http://www.bonsaioutlet.com/indoor-bonsai-trees-c77.aspx for indoor trees and http://www.learning2bonsai.com for care instructions.

The three plants mentioned above are very easy to care for. Basic water, light, and food will keep your plant healthy.

enjoy your day,

Bonsai
