Welcome to the obsession and good luck to you. There are several good books specific to indoor bonsai. I started out with no outdoor space and grew my trees under full-spec lights and used a humidifier. You might try dwarf bougainvilla; I had good luck with that and it grows quickly. Also the many varieties of Ficus with small leaves are very good-- quick growing and forgiving. Serissa is supposed to be good for indoors but I cannot keep it alive.
