Is anyone here interested in starting with bonsai, already has some knowledge or are you curious about it and just want to lurk?

      Yeah, that’s exactly what most people recommend, go to a nursery and buy a tree which a bit big but not too much and try and find one that has a nice shape for the style you are going to doing. All trees can be transformed into a bonsai, so yeah, nuresry trees are bonsai trees most of the time!

      I’ll try and search a good pine for beginners and also a website that goes through the very basics of style in general so you know more or less what to do. Please update if you do some progress!

        Here is a really nice and little list of the very basics to keep in mind when doing bonsai: https://www.evergreengardenworks.com/rules.htm

        Also, indoor bonsai most of time is totally totally not a good idea and anyway they will never grow as faster, bigger and more beautiful as outdoor ones.

            Great! I heard that cold helps at some point, too, although I’m not sure when or what it does.
