Please post a picture of your juniper.

Tropfrog, I'm sorry. I'll need the tree's new owner to photograph it for you. An acquaintance adopted it?because someone from its nursery convinced me that my home would be unhealthy for it in winter. Although I'll miss it, I feel relieved to know it'll thrive for its new caregiver. Again, I want what's best for the Juniper, so?it'll enjoy it in its new place.

I'll try to attach a window greenhouse to my dining room window?where some evergreens can grow. The other trees will be indoor ones living under grow lights.

Many exceptionally kind people help me thrive with my handicap. Maybe someday I'll learn how to help my plants "love" life.

No, you do not need to add a photo of a tree that has been given away. I hope the nurcery man told you that the japanese cherries this thread started with also will die If kept indoors and that they are now given away as well.

Now it is also obvious why you had problems growing flytraps. They are also temperate plants that needs to be grown outdoors.

If you can get outdoors with your wheelchair, my recomendation is to keep temperate trees outdoors. It is good for you to go outdoors and get fresh air. Outdoor growing of hardy trees is the easiest way of bonsai and so called outdoor trees needs to be outdoors in the summer for good development. Indoor is just a solution for non hardy trees in winter.

Oh, yes. Planting a tree in the ground indoors is not recomended.

I'll grow indoor bonsai and try to order a windowpane greenhouse that will let me nurture evergreens through an open window.

I had trouble with flytraps when I put them under a 175-watt grow light. But they grow well indoors under T5 bulbs. You might enjoy this article from the International Carnivorous Plant Society that belonged to years ago.

Since. I'd love another juniper; I found a possible way to let it?rest indoors in the winter. ?Would you store one in a compact refrigerator with a timer-controlled grow light? If that's a good idea, it'll save my brother and me plenty of trouble.

Not a good idea at all. Where did you find that tips?

Winter is your least problem. The tree can be outdoors without any care whatsoever during winter.?But it will still need a good summer in full sun, a slow transformation to winter via authum. Temperature, rain, humidity, different dayleangths are all important factors to enter dormancy properly.

My suggestion is that you get a ramp, escalator, lift or similar?that will make it possible for you to get outdoors by yourself. I believe that just as indoors is not good for junipers it is also not good for humans. Sitting indoors at all times without possibility to get outdoors in the sun and fresh air will shorten your life.

Now...I am not sure junipers is a good choice for you. Even a small juniper bonsai needs several hours of focus work and steady hands every year. It is the most time and effort consuming species if you want to keep it compact. Not to mention knowledge to do it right. 1000s of decitions to make. Every growth point needs to be concidered and the right decition be made for a future quality tree.?

I would suggest locally hardy decidious trees, much less work.

A local nursery employee thought my refrigerator idea?would work. Years ago, I was anxious sitting in a lift chair atop a staircase, and a lift would cost at least $1,000.??If the trees needed care when the ramp landing was too snowy, I'd have?to stay indoors. Snow can easily block my ramp's door in Moreau, New York.?Besides, a window-pane greenhouse would stick out too far.

An indoor plant stand?would always be accessible to me. Though I don't mind the extra effort, keeping evergreens on the ramp's landing is probably a big mistake. Ideally, I'd install?an attached greenhouse. ?Then again, that would cost a small fortune. So, I should settle for indoor trees, tropical sundews, and a few orchids.

Was the nurcery you visited to ask about the refrigerator idea a bonsai nurcery? Was it a real nurcery, a place where they are producing plants or was it a garden center, a place where they sell big volumes of plants that they do?not produce themselves?

By all means, do try the refrigerator idea. But please come back and tell us how it worked.

Snow blocking the ramp door is not a problem for outdoor bonsai. As said before there are no need for any care in the winter. They just sit dormant the whole winter.

Tropfrog, I phoned an actual nursery where I see?plants outdoors?each Sunday morning. Though I trust your judgment when you suggest refrigerating some evergreen trees, I wonder whether indoor, leafy?evergreens would grow better. Training an evergreen sapling may be a good idea if?I find the courage to try the refrigerator method. With about three limbs, I'm unlikely to "embarrass the little guy" with an ugly pose?and butchered hair.?

Hmm. I do not think any plant likes beeing kept in refrigerator and I advice against it.

It is just that some crazy ideas come up over and over again, like this one. I have never seen anyone come back with a report of success or failure. That usually means failure. If you do try, please come back with a report no matter success or not. There are almost more to learn from failures than from successes.

Indoors is a good place for tropical evergreens in winter. But tgey too need to be outdoors in summer for good growth, development and tight ramification.

If you want to grow plants indoors I suggest understory plants and some South african succulents.
