What you say is true, but this is not the application the requestor
had in mind. He wants a permanet tree in his bathroom. He doesn't
seem to care that the environment is not suitable to growing bonsai.
OTOH, if there is a good window and tons of light, why *not* have a
permanent/semi-permanent tropical tree there? I could see a ficus of some
sort, in a good draining soil. Could be happy with the humid air.
Let's remember, we all do bonsai for different reasons. Perhaps I wouldn't
put a bonsai in the 'loo, but what's to say it's wrong? I say live and let
live.
My 2 kiwi cents

Every winter, many of my tropicals have wintered in my naturally well-lit,
plus a skylight, bathroom.
With Supplemental lighting, everything loves it.
Last year, I experimented with using ambient lighting only. Ficus and Texas
Ebony were very happy. Jaboticaba tolerated it. Natal Plum had to be moved
to more light.
