WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
The placement of bonsai trees 'inside' the house is considered very bad luck in all schools of Feng Shui! (Same with thorny cactus.) They need to be outside. Even in Japan, bonsai are kept outside.
I love 'em, but I kill them off too quickly to even consider buying a good 50 year old cheapie. I was looking at a 200 year old planting that I would trade my first born child for if I thought I could keep it alive. Bonsai can be soooo beautiful!

I use it all, really, I do.

Cast iron pots are considered GOOD luck, as is explained in the "I Ching," hexagram 50, labeled 'Ting' or cauldron. The more the better...
... and no... they do NOT balance out each other. I thought of trying that one myself...
