Ahhh. Bonsai always intrigued me. I even tried growing one of my own. But it died at the age of 6 months due to blazing heat in my area. I would love to have some tips from you about what bonzai species would be suited for my area and how to take care of them.(As when it comes to gardening I am just a rookie).

My number one tip for beginners is to not pick traditional bonsai species. They can be expensive, and need more perfect growing conditions to match their natural homeland.
Find out which tree species are native to your area, and grow easily where you live. They will not die so easily, and can probably take more punishment as you experiment and learn from experience. For me, I started with Willow.
Afterwards learn about bonsai soil, bonsai pots, and watering. Most potted trees need daily care in Summer, but in the shade they might require less supervision on hot days.
