Billy et al!

An older edition of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden's "Indoor Bonsai" had an
extensive article on how to grow ordinarily outdoor bonsai indoors year
round. It required an elaborate, but not difficult, grow-room that had
highly controlled lighting and ventilation, as well as the ability to keep
the humidity at a heightened level. Included as examples were the authors'
10-year-old Juniper procumbens nana and a boxwood. It was interesting to
see these trees and to see their development, then to realize that they had
never been outdoors.

Wouldn't the photoperiod have something to do with dormancy also?

Photoperiod can have a lot to do with dormancy in some species, but
in
this case I think the plant was killed by too much water.
