[QUOTE=Doddins]wen i say indoors i dont mean inside my house, i know thats a big no no. its to dry n not sutable for bonsai indoors, that much i know.

Inside isn't a big no-no. I had a couple that I grew in my kitchen on a north west facing window sill for a couple years and they thrived. They got great light there, and I never turned on the heat register under that window and it was a very drafty window as well. They grew, a bit slower, and were healthy. I know some plants would not do well indoors, but chinese elm can do it.

I also had one that spent its winters outside and like someone else said, protected areas, no wind, no sun to warm it in the middle of winter, etc.
