Bonsais - Can I do it?

Some plants do better than others when treated this way. There's a good site here with information: http://www.bonsaigardener.org/ He has a newsletter and some recommendations on the types of trees to grow, as well as information on budget bonsai plants. I think growing them would be at least half the fun of having them!

Of course you can grow and manage your own Bonsai. The real question is how will it look. :) Remember practice makes perfect. Good luck with that. My son wants to give it a go as well.
