Yup. There's a FAQ (address below, as Alan said.)

It won't really address the question of your "bonsai kit" though.

The seeds in those kits, if they sprout and if the sprouts live, will be 10 years, if ever, before they reach bonsaihood. Those kits are designed for one thing: to make money for the seller. But since they have spearked your interest, I'd suggest you go to a neaby garden center and purchase a plant you might be able to turn into a bonsai in a much shorter time. There are several articles in our "Knowledge Base" (especially by Jerry M.) that cover plants that are suited for indoor bonsai.

And, as Alan said, find a local club to give you good local advice.

Hi,

I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. Pete is the name and I'm from
Durham, England (NE).

I've liked Bonsai trees for a while now, and this Christmas was given a kit
consisting of Australian Flowering Gum Tree and St. Joseph's Bread Tree,
both to grow from seed.

I'll probably be here asking questions, some probably stupid, please bear
with me ;-)

Is there a group FAQ I can read before I ask the same questions that have
been answered since the beginning of time?

Thanks,

Pete.
