Iris,

The Wollemi Pine is in the Araucariacea along with monkey puzzle trees and
Norfollk Island Pines. It might survive indoors since it grows in narrow
canyons where only occasional flecks of light reach the ground. Whether it
would grow much indoors is another matter. Wollemia has distinct juvenile
and adult foliage so it might be interesting to see whether bonsai plants
can produce the adult foliage.
