Hi! Considering getting a bonsai but never had one before. Any reccommendation son a good one to start with? To be clear I have had / have lots of other plants. I just never dove into this world before 😂

Depends on your lifestyle and ability to maintain the tree’s environment. I’d recommend with starting with an indoor tree like a ficus.

I started with buying a juniper, completely oblivious to the fact that they don’t do well indoors. Learned a lot quickly lol
