Buying bonsai trees as a home accent
If you are going to buy a bonsai tree as a home accent there are a few points that you should consider first.
The area that it is going to be placed in kind of sounds like a no brainer. Any place that gets a little light should be good enough. It is not! For instance if you place a bonsai tree near a doorway that leads outside or by a window that you like to keep open all the time the tree could be kept in a cool draft which wouldn’t be the best growing situation. The same goes for placing a tree near a heater or heat register. This cause an uneven growing enviroment as far as keeping your plant in a controlled climate for optimum growth.
Look at you furnishings and wall accents to get an idea of the colors you are using in the room and then pick a bonsai tree that matches this.
If you are placing your tree on a display stand or accent table will the plant stick out an inch or two too far and be knocked over. Worse yet will someone at your next party accidentally break a branch off that got stuck in there clothing, sweaters are bad for this.
If you are buying a flowering bonsai tree is it going to drop leaves or petals with residue on them onto your expensive wood floors or carpeting. You can bet this would only happen when you are away for a week or two.
