Hello all.
I am new to these groups and to gardening in general. I live in a small apartment and have no outside area but I really want to improve my skills with growing and I want to have more living things around my place. Bonsai has always fascinated me and I think i am ready to give it a try. I have started with one of those cheap kits growing from seeds. I am planning to put this one next to the grow light that is hooked up to my girlfriends Aerogarden. I know this isn't ideal but I am not too interested in this particular plant (it's more of a tester and if it works then I will keep it). I have no outside area, I have no good window to put the plants on and I don't have a lot of space.
I would, however like to give it a real try with some other plants. What I was thinking was to have a few small wall hung shelves to hold the plants on with small grow lights on each. Maybe the small LED ones, if they work well. I was also thinking I may need a humidification system. I live in the L.A. area in Southern California. I would really like to grow various species from seeds. I like the small size trees (less than 10") and maybe eventually try some forest styles with mini-bonsai.
I know that things don't like to grow indoors but it seems there must be a way. Please if you could give any advice on how to make this work, I would really appreciate it. I have never been much good at growing plants and want to learn. I know that bonsai is a bit ambitious but it is what I am most interested in.
Thank you for the help, Bill
P.S. sorry for posting to multiple groups but i wanted it to get to anyone that could help.
