Bonsai for Indoors
Derderian, Constance T.
In Bonsai for Indoors, Constance T. Derderian presents a practical yet insightful guide to cultivating bonsai in interior settings, drawing on her long experience as one of the pioneers of subtropical and indoor bonsai in the United States. Published by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in 1989, the 76-page volume explores how indoor conditions differ from outdoor bonsai culture — from lighting, humidity and ventilation to species suitability, potting and wiring techniques. Derderian emphasises the selection of tropical or subtropical trees that can adapt to indoor climates, outlines wiring and stylistic care tailored for indoor display, and offers guidance on how to keep miniature trees healthy in confined spaces and variable light. With its clear focus and concise format, the book serves as a valuable resource for bonsai enthusiasts who wish to bring the art of bonsai into the home environment.
