This past spring on my way home from Panama City, I finally gave in and bought a Japanese Holly Bonsai. Now please understand that I don't have what you would call a green thumb. I'd say it's more a mottled black and purple thumb of death. Yet somehow, I've managed not to kill the trusting and unsuspecting tree-in-a-pot. The instruction sheet I got with it said it was outdoor, water daily, full sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. I recently bought a book on Bonsai that shows TWO species of Japanese Holly: one decidious and outdoor and the other evergreen and primarily indoor. I am thinking mine is more similar to the indoor variety and have brought it into the house. I keep it next to the lanai door where it still gets full morning sun and afternoon shade. However, I cannot be sure of the pedigree. How can I be sure I haven't consigned my first Bonsai to the smurf wood pile? (If I had any forethought, I'd have taken a picture to post.)
