jamie;

Schefleras, ficus, and my # 1 Texas Ebony. All will work well as house bonsai. You need good light to make it work.

Other plants will work to, like Polyscias spp., dracaena spp., Begonia spp., Coffea spp., Dizygoethica 'Castor', as well as Jades, Tamarinds, and some cycads (mostly of the genus Zamia). Some species of philodendrons could also be used, if they become woody, such as in philodendron bipennifolium.
