Total newbie to Bonsai:
If possible, I'd like to get a bonsai that will sit on my desk. I have no sunlight but I have a 2' long florescent light that is about 3' off my desktop that I'd like to put the tree under. Anyone know if that will be enough for a tree to live? If so, which variety?
I was reading somewhere that a Fukien Tea I think can do fine only one hour of sunlight a day. I was thinking, if I had it under this light for 7 hours a day, maybe that would be enough?
If that won't work with any variety, does anyone know how a T5 or T12 bulb would affect MY skin after sitting under it for a work day? I've also considered that, but I don't want a sunburn or something on my mouse hand...lol
Thanks guys! First post, loving this forum!
