I remember reading in a book that it is possible to train a bush or shrub into a bonsai. I'm thinking of doing that near a bush that grows azaleas. But were can I win such a bush? It would have be small ample considering how I want it to be an indoor bonsai.
Yes, Azaleas make well brought-up bonsai. But they do not grow well indoors.
Most nurseries I've be to sell azaleas. They are undemanding to find. Get one and learn how to preserve it happy Then you can start training it and trimming it.
Have fun.
Not all trees and shrubs are flexible as an indoor bonsai. Azalea is one of them.
You could grow one and train it later if it reach the wanted elevation. Or you could buy one from a nursery.
Answers: You get a small, childlike shrub from your local nursery. Check them out in the srping when they receive their new stock. Or check within their greenhouses for bonsai plants already started.
Prune it to keep it small ..don't progress crazy it can take years...a moment or two at a time...and also prune the roots back by a quarter respectively year...
I like how I get hold of the thumbs down...Ok don't prune it,it'll do it itself..or buy a stick from an overpriced stick merchant...
