Bonsai comes from Asia, it’s quite a label… Literally meaning “potted tree”, it is not limited to a “variety”!
You can make a bonsai with almost any tree, as long as you keep it in a pot, and that you provide it with great attention and regular maintenance. Fertilizer, and two to three waterings a day are required!
Avoid making the mistake of keeping it indoors, it’s a tree! Even in a pot, it lives out !
