Recommendation: South facing windowsill. was created by simonsays

Posted 5 days 12 hours ago #86794
Hello all. 
I’m looking for species recommendations for a south facing windowsill in a Victorian terrace house- Limited direct sunlight, double glazed. Narrow windowsill will only accept a 8cm width pot.  Temp drops to about 12degrees in winter at night. I’m Uk based.  Ideally evergreen species. 
or should I find a new hobby?
Thanks anyone/everyone,
Simon.

Sounds ideal for any ficus species.

Why would you not want to have hardy species outside?  There are many species of trees that are hardy and make good bonsai, almost none that can be kept in a house. 
Have a look for a book about bonsai to find the variety of trees that are available, and do not believe "indoor bonsai" they do not exist.
