The object to the right of the tree in all the photos that follow is a credit card.
It is there to help you judge the size of the bonsai pictured.

Due to our special shipping methods, we ship Sub-Tropical (Species in Blue or Red type) bonsai year-round. There is no charge to our customers for this service. The only requirement is that delivery must be made in two to three days to areas where the temperature goes below freezing, and packages should not be delivered and left outdoors in cold weather. If you live in the warmer southern regions, a longer delivery time may be possible. If you're not sure what shipping method is best, drop us an e-mail requesting information. Don't forget to include your zip code and the species you're interested in. We'll look into what methods will work for your order, and write back to you.

In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as an “indoor bonsai.” There are bonsai that can survive indoors, but any and all species of bonsai will do better when kept outdoors when the temperature is in their “comfort zone.”
Considering that most people sleep 7 or 8 hours each night, go to work or school for most of the daytime hours, and pursue other interests for part of the day, why keep a bonsai indoors 24 hours a day when you’re only there to see it for a short part of each day?
If the answer is that you want a bonsai for your office, or your living situation precludes having an outdoor place available, there are bonsai that will survive indoors. They are listed in red and blue type. If an outdoor place is available and you’re serious about this hobby, your bonsai should “live outdoors, and visit indoors” as much as the weather allows.
If direct sunlight is a problem stick to one of the species in blue type. They will flourish in direct sun, and will survive in bright indirect light.
If you’re still not sure which species will work best for you, either call 917-325-3954 during the day or write us at Mail@bonsaiofbrooklyn.com and include your number and the best time to call. Please include your time zone.
