shade-loving bonsai query
does anyone know of an indoor bonsai that can cope in shadier conditions?
There may be a few species which can survive indoors in the shade, such as Ficus, but they will make very poor bonsai. The whole idea behind bonsai is to grow a tree with the smallest possible leaves, twiggy growth, & short internodes, which require the maximum amount of sun the plant will tolerate. I suggest you forget bonsai and stick to Aspidistra & Philodendron, unless you can set up a fluorescent light fixture indoors & find an outdoor location for the summer. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." Robert Lowell (1917-1977) |
