Bonsai Wiring
Get yourself a dwarf cherry.
It flowers early every spring, is easy to take care of and doesn’t need to be watered hardly at all because it’s kept outside.
Looks good from 6 inches up.
Just noticed that you want it indoor! In this case get a crepe myrtle which comes in variety of purple, pink or white flowers. It has tiny leaves so it looks good very small.
Although being an indoor type it will be harder to take care of of course.

a bonsai doesn’t just ’stay’ small, you need to work at it, to keep it small…..
bonsai is still the plant that it is… if it needs to live outside, then it will not do well INSIDE….. (crepes hate it inside!)
you need to study the where’s and how’s a lot more before you’re ready for a plant…. best idea would be to get a book…..
that “BASICS” one looks good to start with….
