I have no sunlight, but want a bonsai tree? What is a good species?

Question

I live in a basement apartment with very small windows, but nowhere I could put a bonsai tree. I've always wanted one and want to keep it near my computer/home office area to spice it up a bit. Is there any particular tree that will do semi-well with little sunlight? I have some fluorescent lights down here, but that's about it. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

A bonsai is just a normal tree, which is kept smaller,  You realize this I think.  ALL trees and plants need some light. There is one way I think you may be able to do this, but it might end up costly.  You can buy special lights, grow lights, which is like a fluroescent but a different bulb in it which gives the right light to the plant.  Ask at a lighting specialist.

Sorry thats the only thing I can think off.

Goodluck

This site has info on each of their plants.

Any plant that can live in lower light will be fine and just be certain you get an indoor plant if that's where you'll be keeping it.
