Although I'm certainly no expert (in fact I'm a rank beginner), I believe there are solutions for those that live in situations where outdoor bonsai keeping seems difficult if not impossible.

I have built a small ledge from a plastic planter and some doweling and 2x4's that I have secured outside of my kitchen window. I've placed my juniper on that, and it *so far* seems to be doing alright. Granted, it's only been a couple of months (sheepish), but a lot of people I've mentioned this construction to wonder why they never thought of the idea. So there it is.

Not a solution to growing a juniper indoors, but a *plausible/possible* solution for those who (like myself) do not have ready access to an outdoor location (such as a yard or balcony).

Cheers!
Spencer
