[IBC] Forest grouping, recommended tree?

Plastic?

The only bonsai-like plant I can think of that *might* live under such
conditions is "ming aralia", Polyscias fruticosa. It needs some
humidity, however, to do well. As far as real bonsai species go,
possibly Podocarpus fits your bill, but they need more light than you
want to give. I hope you're planning to buy a gro-light? Most bonsai
need direct sunlight or good artificial lighting to do well. What you
describe sounds like a slow, terrible death for a plant.

Re: [IBC] Forest grouping, recommended tree?

I would recommend ficus. You can find many of them in local Home Depot or
Lowes stores at a very reasonable priced. They come with 8 or more trees in
one container. Just cut the roots apart, they will do fine, I have not been
able to kill one yet. They do fine indoors. Put them outdoors in the summer
if you wish, they do great in that environment also. The weeping fig is the
most common sold in these stores. You can get smaller leaf figs also,
however, you may have to go to a green house to find them.
