"I will also note that there is NO plant whose natural habitat
is
inside a human-built structure."

Which makes lot of sense. I also saw the below post:

"Growing bonsai indoors is best left to those with lots of
experience, not
those just starting out."

So I'm guessing even those sold as "indoor bonsai" are just
barely able to
be kept alive for a rank amature?

About 20 years ago I decided I liked bonsai. Since I'm in S.E.
Wisconsin I
thought an indoor bonsai would be better. To date I have not
bought one
even though I've seen a number of them I liked.

Now I am disabled and more able to devote time to one, and more
than willing
to read and learn, and happy I found this newsgroup too, is
there any
suggestion as to which is heartier for indoors.
Where I live now I can't give any plant a south facing window,
would a plant
light help or should I continue looking and learning?


Well. Welcome to bonsai -- and have at it. While there are no
natural born "indoor plants," there ARE trees that will do OK
indoors (and they're NOT pines ;-). I don't grow "indoor trees"
so I'll leave the hows and wherefores to people who do --
Jerry? -- but you may want to search for books on indoor bonsai
by Bonsai's most unpronounceable name: Paul Lesniewicz. You
should be able to find affordable copies used at
www.abebooks.com. You might look at one (or several) of the
Ficus (fig) species to start.
