| Indoor bonsai are able to live their entire lives inside the house. They can go outside, however, once fear of freezing has passed, Indoors they like bright indirect light, outside, the same, morning sunlight, or dappled shade throughout the day is best. Most do best if never allowed to dry out completely, but they should not be overwatered. Mist frequently, inside or out. | Outdoor bonsai, the classic subjects of Japanese bonsai, grow dormant for part of the winter. Their shallow roots recommend protection from very cold weather. A garage or pump house kept just above freezing is a good place to winter these bonsai. | ||
