Hi

I'm new to Bonsai and have a few questions.

1. What is the best Bonsai to start with? It will be indoors but I have a balcony if it needs some air.

2. If growing from a cutting, how do you get the trunk to thicken up, do you just let it grow tall then cut it down to the size you want or do you keep it trimmed and small so it focuses it energy on the trunk?

3. How successful is growing from seed I understand this takes years and years
