Turn anything into a bonsai?


Question
Is it possible to turn anything into a bonsai?

I love to grow things. Since I work at a grocery store, I collect seeds from everything.

I live in zone 8 however. I have germinated 2 avocado seeds and a papaya seed. The papaya is 4 months old and is 3ft tall. Avocado A is 8 months old and 2 ft tall, avocado B is 6 weeks old and is just a clump of leaves.

These 3 plants will not be able to go outdoors permanently because it gets too cold here.

So I'm wondering, how can I turn them into bonsais?

I have no experience at all with bonsai plants.

Answer
I Desi,

Unfortunately, i am not sure if the above plants can be grown indoors. Most trees can be grown in shallow pots and "bonsai", but i'm not sure if papaya and avocado trees can grow indoors. A lot of bonsai trees (and plants) require to be outdoors.

I'd recommend you re-post this question on http://www.learning1bonsai.com. There are several bonsai gardeners on the website that may be able to help you.

Enjoy your day,
