Default [IBC] succulents as bonsai

Shelly Hurd wrote:

I for one, don't consider them bonsai Craig. But, I have several. I use
them for friends and newbies that come by the house and think they are
interested in trees. If the -feeling- I get from their interest is that the
tree I give them will be dead in a month, I pot up a jade for them and tell
them to keep it alive for a year, bring it back and show me, and then I'll
give them a tree. In all the years, I've only given away -one- tree after a
year shrug.

HI
I had a friend in NY and when I sow him in his apt ( no balcony and 2
nd floor location and not in the sun either ,I was amazed of the huge
crassulas he had 3 if I correctly reckon .. and all were fine .. the
guy is a travel alcoholic .... so maybe the little care he gave them
probably was their good health passport :-)

We haven't kicked this around in awhile. Any thoughts on succulents as
bonsai? Some of you have been awful quiet--what do you think?
