which type of bonsai tree is best suitable for indoors?

[OverbearingUrge]

That's how bonsai works. The small container keeps it from growing too big. The roots are also trimmed to help keep the growth under control. Wires are wrapped around branches and the trunk to bend them to whatever desired shape.

There's nothing special about the types of tree that can be used for bonsai. Bonsai is simply a technique fro growing trees to keep them small.

@EliteKozarcan who are you arguing against?

[Kathyrula]

Do you have any advice on caring for a Gardenia Bonsai? I don't think I'm doing a good job. The soil is always very dry, even shortly after watering it, but it seems that when I water it more often, the leaves turn brown and fall off. Help, please. Thank you.

@lizbethk1 Plum, cherry, apricot, quince, and pear are among the more popular bonsai subjects, and no the fruit are not smaller. In fact fruit trees tend to be bonsai subjects for their flowers. After flowering, the flowers are pulled off. The exception being crabapple and some trees in which the artist wants a fruit ot two to justapose the tree with. Do a Google images of the subjects I mention here to see.

@AureliusMaximus10 maybe it is you should randomly say bonsai and see if he responds

[lizbethk1]

@VehementOgre Oh, how cool! do the mini-fruit taste any different from regular-sized fruit? Like how a crabapple is with a regular apple?
