Sure why not, step one, dig a 4 meter deep hole in your house for the soil

Probably because they die after a few weeks.
If you want a brown, shedding fire hazard lying around your house go ahead. I won't be surprised when your next Frontroom title reads "My house burned down and I blame Vladimir."
no more like actual trees just smaller like 2-4 feetQuote:

I'm gonna get matches.
Herp derp you guys, you don't let the tree die or dig a hole in your house. You convert one of your rooms into a giant sandbox but instead of sand, there is nutrient rich soil. I thought this all out guys, come on now.
Right up to the point where the tree wins the battle with:
(a) the floor
(b) the roof
(c) both.
For everything else there's concrete rot.
And the roof needs to be glass. Trees tend to need sunlight.
A. You put a plastic liner above the concrete foundation to prevent rot.Quote:

Well yeah, that shouldn't be a problem if you are re-doing the room for the tree to begin with.Quote:

Because trees have rights and you can't lock up innocent trees for your own pleasure! Which is why civilised people like me have a plastic tree.Quote:
