have lost so much health and vigour that they are very hard to keep alive. Do not
assume that the tree you brought growing indoors at the garden centre or bonsai
retailer will grow indoors on a permanent basis. Very often, outdoor species are

sold in an indoor environment simply for the convenience of the retailer. Always
ask retailers if your tree is intended for indoor or outdoor cultivation. It should
be noted here that you cannot SUCCESSFULLY cultivate coniferous bonsai
indoors for more than 1-2 years.
If you specifically require a tree for growing indoors, choose a species that
will be more able to cope with this stressful environment. This typically means
using tropical species that have little dormancy needs and can tolerate low light
levels and poor humidity.
Place your tree on a well lit windowsill that is not shut off at night and is not
above a radiator. Ensure that the leaves are not burnt in strong sunlight. Make
use of a humidity tray and enjoy!!
