Hi there, I'm new here, new to bonsai, new to the whole thing! Personally I love the idea, so I went out and bought a bonsai tree thinking it would be water and sun, and thats it! Now I'm seeing there is so much more with wiring, pruning, re-potting, and frankly, I love every bit of it.
Here is a picture of the tree I purchased from the local garden centre. At this point I have read many websites on bonsai, I have cleared dead leaves, watered, trimmed a little bit... ect

Now, I was wondering what type of tree this is. What "specical care" this specific type of tree might have and how big it was to be to start wiring to take a certian shape.
I was also wondering... Whats the limit? Can I make this tree a beatiful windy tree or is it a specific type that can't be wired into certian shapes.
Now, to clarify... The rocks ARENT glued down
And also, what kind of tree is suitable to a mostly-indoor lifestyle?
Thanks for any help!
Glenn.
