Tamarindus indica is a bit of an unusual but fascinating choice. It’s typically grown as a large outdoor tree, but it can be started indoors from seed and kept as a compact container plant for several years, especially with regular pruning. Indoors, tamarind makes a lovely miniature tree with delicate, airy foliage that folds up at night—similar to a sensitive plant. It needs bright, direct light, such as a sunny windowsill or grow light, and well-draining soil with regular watering (allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings).
In container form, it won't fruit easily without ideal conditions—warmth, sun, and age—but it makes a charming ornamental plant nonetheless. It prefers warmth and doesn’t handle cold drafts, so keep it away from windows in winter. Over time, with careful pruning and repotting, it can be shaped into a striking bonsai-style plant. Just be aware that it grows slowly indoors and is more of a long-term project than an instant showpiece.
