Best bonsai trees for beginners are Juniper Bonsai, they are just as easy to grow and plant care for beginner or a novice just starting out with this new hobby and looking for a starter tree to grow indoors. If you are thinking that you want a tree instead of a house plant, then you can consider Chinese elm bonsai, hawaiian umbrella tree and ficus tree. These indoor bonsai trees do not really require natural light from a window and will do very well on a desktop, shelf or table.
