There are various species suitable to use for indoor bonsai trees.  Some of these include Ficus, Serissa, Boxwood, and Gardenia.  If you want to grow your own miniature tree indoors, you will need to know a few things beforehand.  This article will give you a few tips on growing indoor bonsai trees.

Light

Indoor trees usually require between four and six hours of light each day.  It’s best to put them near a window that faces south.  This will allow them to receive morning sun and shade in the afternoon.  If a southern facing window isn’t an option, you can put them on a window fill that faces west or east. 

Windows facing in either of these three directions are best.  However, if you only have a window that faces north, you can put your tree there.  You will need to use a grow light in this situation though.

Humidity

Indoor bonsai trees will suffer if you don’t provide them with enough humidity.  The heating system in your home will reduce the amount of humidity available.  You should put your tree in a small tray filled with water and gravel.  There will be plenty of moisture available as the water evaporates.  You can also mist the leaves with water a little bit.

Water

These trees usually don’t need to be watered everyday.  Water requirements depend on the type of pot you’re using, the specific species you’re growing, and the type of soil in the pot.  However, since they trees are in small pots, they will probably dry out very quickly.  You should monitor this frequently by sticking your finger in the soil to see how moist it is.  If the tree is receiving a lot of sun, it will require more water.

These are a few tips on caring for indoor bonsai trees. There are many more things that you need to learn about growing bonsai trees. So, click here now to learn everything you need to know about bonsai tree care.
