Beautiful, fast growth rate, colorful and fun :)

The Amur Maple (Japanese Bonsai) is native to Northeast China and Japan. Amur maple has only started to attain popularity as a bonsai. It can be grown as a multi-stemmed clump or can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk. The tree grows about 20 to 30 feet tall in the wild. The bark is smooth, reddish in color and fairly thin. Acer Ginnala takes well to bonsai techniques. It tolerates heavy pruning. New shoots should be pruned through the growing season.
Its Summer color is green, but is mixed with bright red samaras or 'helicopters' in Midsummer. This hardy tree and its varieties typically produce very colorful yellow to orange Fall foliage. Its leaves will reduce to under one inch if it is defoliated once every two years in mid-Summer. It develops clusters of fragrant, yellowish-white flowers in Spring. It is one of the very few maples that have fragrant flowers. Hardiness zones 3-8, (-10°C/15°F,-37°C/-35°F) in Winter. Very weather resistant, in fact, it is more tolerant of adverse conditions than most other maples. Best in moist, well drained soils, but also tolerates dryness. It is a vigorous grower that is very tolerant of temperature extremes. Full sun or partial shade; but part shade in Midsummer and in very hot climates to prevent leaf burn. Also likes moderate watering. Increase watering during the Summer heat, and keep fairly dry in Winter. It is drought resistant once established.

For faster germination, soak the seeds in slightly hot water for 24-48 hours.

omg, I looooove this! However, if I won, I would be a first time bonsai owner, so a few questions. Is this a good indoor plant, or should I keep it outdoors? How can I train it to look like the one in the pic? Any other helpful info would be so greatly appreciated! Fanned and watching!!!
