Have you ever owned or cared for a bonsai tree before? They are not like normal houseplants.\r\n\r\nHave you ever taken care of a houseplant before? If so, is it easy for you to keep them alive, or do you usually kill them? If you struggle to keep regular houseplants alive, I would think twice about getting a bonsai just yet.\r\n\r\nBonsai are more challenging because they have had both their top growth and their roots pruned at regular intervals to keep the entire plant small. This allows it to grow in a very small pot, which is neat, but also means that it requires a specific type of potting soil and much, much more attention paid to correct watering and fertilization.\r\n\r\nMoreover, if you want to keep your bonsai small and healthy long term, you will need to learn how to do this root and top pruning yourself. It needs to be done at certain points in the tree's growth cycle, and doing it at the wrong time can severely stress your tree.\r\n\r\nAlso, many types of bonsai are not fit to keep indoors year-round. They need a winter dormant period, which requires both the cold and the decreasing day length to trigger, which means they need to spend a good chunk of their life outdoors. However, you can't leave potted plants outside over the winter in our climate without killing their roots unless you insulate (and provide a source of heat for) the pot.\r\n\r\nSome bonsai are tropical plants that ARE fit to keep inside year round, but will almost certainly need a lot of light - a south-facing window, right on the windowsill. If you can't provide that, you will need to get a grow light, and even the cheapest of the actually useful ones [are still like $25.](https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-93101232-Balanced-Spectrum/dp/B07NNT3G7J)\r\n\r\nTL;DR - If you just want a pretty plant to enjoy for a while before it croaks, buy that bonsai and enjoy it! No shame in that! If you want to keep it alive long term, research bonsai before you buy.","subreddit_name":"Purdue","author":"Federal_Reply_8377"},{"body":"GE Grow Light Bulb, PAR38 Grow Light Bulb for Indoor Plants, Full Spectrum, 32-Watt, Balanced Lighting for Seeds and Greens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NNT3G7J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_472FD5CFGXC3T49GQB5R\r\n\r\n\r\nI use 3 of the balanced spectrum ones for one of my walls, my orchids still flower with it so I don’t think the flowering one is necessary \r\n\r\nI also have a spider farmer led panel for a different wall that works very well also","subreddit_name":"houseplants","author":"girlwateringcan"},{"body":"I highly recommend the [GE PAR38 grow light bulbs!!](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07NNT3G7J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_99RBTE02VC9P3FRPEQ4Q) I can attest that they work and they work better than any of the clip on lights.

The tallest one is about 12” tall, kinda spindly. I took djinnerator’s advice and switched two of their soils to 70% lava rock and 30% acid lover’s soil mix. I spray them with Aquafina about 3 times a day. Water once a week usually also with Aquafina (my tap water is around 400ppm disolved solids). Haven’t tried feeding too much, just did some very dilute 9-3-6 today. Have some fish emulsion but haven’t tried it for awhile. I put them under an LED grow light by GE and they seem to like it better than the Philips LED I started with. \r\n\r\nhttps://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NNT3G7J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;th=1\r\n\r\nI am using the balanced spectrum.
