what helps make indoor plants bigger?
my bonsai tree!
its not a seed
To grow your bonsai bigger it needs optimal growing conditions. A free draining soil will help a lot, this is what basic bonsai soil does. You should fertilize it at half reccomended strenght every 2 weeks, go for a high nitrogen fert in the spring, balanced fert through the summer, and low nitrogen in fall. The more light the better, look into getting a desktop lamp with the bendy neck and stick a 40W or higher compact florescent bulb in there then place the lamp 2-4 inches from the top of the tree, also get a plug in timer and run it for 16hrs on 8hrs off. During late spring, summer, and early fall, if at all possible put it outside, it will get way better lighting outdoors than you can provide inside. Get a shallow tray fill it with gavel, put water in the tray but don’t fill over the gravel, put your pot on top of the gravel, make sure the pot doesn’t touch the water, this will help with humidity. Besides that don’t prune it for a while, just let it grow…good luck

The whole point of Bonsai is to stunt the growth of a tree, to maintain a miniature size.
Thinking you bought one of those rip off seed kits…no way to grow a mature, perfectly manicured bonsai from a seed.

I have grown many bonsai trees from seeds! I guess some people have a good touch, Bonsai constantly change, they are never done! I pot mine up to a slightly larger pot every 3 to four years, giving it a bit more room to grow. Some times a simple root pruning during early spring and some new bonsai soil is all that is needed.
