Hello Everyone !

[Zoomie]

You raised corals, you understand light requirements better than 99% of people who post in "New to Bonsai". I would say yes, you more so than most could be successful.

Pick the species you like, figure out the lumens per square meter per hour you need, select lights accordingly. I like 6500K T5 lamps myself, good for most "part shade" species. I have a 1000 Watt, HPS Agro lamp for my full sun subtropicals. The grow shops will allow you to see different set up in operation before you buy.
My list of indoors includes Eugenia, Malpighia, a sub tropical Vaccinium, tropical Gautheria, Natal plum, Ficus, and a few I forget.

Thank you!

I have a fair understanding of lighting from corals and environments for dart frogs. That said, there was still a serious learning curve. Since I know nothing about Bonsai, my concern becomes that if I develop a problem, is it a lighting issue or a care issue. Because of this, I’m approaxhing with both hungry and respect.

I have got materials coming by Friday. I’m doing a rack of t5, a rack of t8, and anraxk of LED. I'll then run identical species (beginner, indoor tolerant examples) on each shelf. Be a great learning opportunity for me and I’m not jeopardizing some amazing example if I mess up.

That picture was taken pre-coffee by my wife. To this day, I laugh every time I see it.


That's Mikey. No one throws attitude and side eyes like Mikey.


As for Bjorn, I had read he's here somewhere. I'll run him down once I have what I believe to be something intelligent to ask. Right now I need to do my homework and get my hands dirty.

I'm getting down there. I'm down over 80 pounds since January. I plan to have lost 100 by Christmas.
I don't look so much like Fester anymore. Looking more and more like Mr. Clean.
