Any Bonsai tree Keepers?

[JK47]

I have always wanted to get into bonsai trees. Do any members keep any that would be willing to help a guy get started?

Ideally I would like to replicate a mangrove swamp or Cambodian temple etc...

My ex gf tried to keep one in our apartment, she totally killed the poor thing in less than a month.

I kept telling her she's over watering but......

They are beautiful though, I'd try my hand at it wheni have more time to spare.

Same here, interested in one, even have a spot for it, just too many other things going on.

It's not too complicated if you don't make it complicated.

Here's two good resources- http://www.bonsaioutlet.com/bonsai-tree-care-sheets/ and http://www.bonsaiempire.com

From what I understand it's not the plant itself but it's how the plant is crafted/sculpted.
