I was wondering if someone can recommend an indoor bonsai tree that could be placed in a bathroom - I shower everyday, so there's steam every morning, and there is a small meshed window, that faces south. So there's not much sunlight, and I might have to put in some artificial lighting. Ideally, it should have some red leaves/fruit - So the poor guy asks a perfectly serious question, and everyone makes fun of him. Um . . . well, a bathroom isn't somewhere you go to for leisure activities -- and mine, at least, have NO windows. To each his or her own, I suppose. And I still say that best, most trouble-free, response for one who isn't a devoted grower of bonsai is a plastic "Ming" tree. It simply is NOT a suitable environment for a tree for anyone who isn't an "expert."

I don't want a tree in my shower, either, and as for my bathtub . . . My jacuzzi, if I had one, would be on the deck. THERE, I'd have a tree -- or two.

People in colder climates have jacuzzies indoors. Well, some have them in- _and_ out-doors but that's beside the point. I wish I had a living bathroom like Druid. Imagine bathing among the trees. Under the branches. Better yet, let's make that a pool. Or a lake. With a waterfall instead of jacuzzi. With regular size trees on the shore. Hm... but then bonsai would be somewhat obsolete. Anyway, until then, living bathroom could ba a nice approximation. ;-) |

There are no mosquitoes (let alone leeches) in living bathrooms. Usualy, there are no trees either. But like I said: _imagine_. ;-) |
