Answer 1

I like all kinds but it is nice to have a flowering one, you can get  Azalea's and Crepe Myrtle's that do well.

Woody herbs are also good to use for Bonsai.

Bonsai are not houseplants, this is what kills them being inside.

To winter over put the whole pot in the ground, if you only have a patio then fill a large pot with dirt or fill of your choice and put in there for the winter

Answer 2

Bonsai CAN be houseplants if you pick indoor plants. They have an assortment pictured on this site and there are also care instructions.

Answer 3

A good investment is a couple books on bonsai "before " you buy a tree.

ebay is full of them.

All the book store have them online, and while some are better then others they all have things to learn.

A good beginners tree is a Chinese elm, grows fast, can put up with a newbee.

good luck and happy growing

Answer 4

The only bonsai tree I have is a money tree, and so far its been 1/2 a year, the tree is doing good. I keep it inside by a window.
