Hi there.

I just bought a Maple bonsai kit,(seeds). The box is rather confusing. The company name seems to be "Miniature Indoor Bonsai tree garden" by 'The Master Herbalist". The kit came in a purple and green small rectangular box. It says both " Canadian Sugar Maple tree" and below that "Acer Saccharinum". Looking online reveals that it's the Acer SaccharUM that is the sugar maple, while the -rinum is another type altogether. Either way, what little information I am finding conflicts with my box about it being an indoor plant. I am eager to plant it right away, but I've read a bit about dormant periods. Do I need to wait until spring to plant this tree? Will planting it now only confuse it?

Has anyone else been able to find info on growing/caring for these particular trees online? Is there a way to know for sure which tree I have? I'm stumped! I am hoping this is in deed an indoor plant that won't need a dormant period! I don't have an outdoors area!

Does anyone else name their trees??

Thanks!
