Growing Indoors or Outdoors
One
school of thought
is that trees are
outdoor plants and
putting them into
pots does not transform
them into indoor plants.
Many believe that
if you bring bonsai
inside, they will
die. While not necessarily
true, you will probably
see much better results
if you let your bonsai
flourish outside rather
than indoors.
Just remember that
you are going to be
growing and cultivating
a tree in a tray or
pot. Trees need lots
of sunlight and care
to grow. Just because
the trees are in a
tray or pot instead
of the ground doesn’t
mean they don’t
need the same care.
However, Bonsai are
still trees and must
have outdoor living
conditions. Trees
need good light, good
humidity levels, good
air circulation and
importantly, many
species NEED the cold
of winter to go dormant.
Inside our homes,
trees receive comparatively
poor light levels
and the dry air with
low humidity levels
created by central
heating systems can
cause many problems.

There are species that will tolerate
indoor conditions and with the correct
placement and care can thrive. There
are also many species that are not
hardy enough to tolerate the winter
cold. But, these are in the minority.
It is far more difficult to cultivate
indoor Bonsai than outdoor Bonsai.
Outdoor species very rarely die immediately
when grown inside, they can survive
for months. However they slowly lose
their health and vigor in the adverse
conditions they have to cope with,
and become susceptible to bugs and
disease until they finally start to
show outward signs of ill-health;
yellowing leaves, lose of foliage
and eventually death.
There are many varieties of plants
that do well as an indoor bonsai such
as ficus, aralia, azalea, Norfolk
pine, serissa, gardenia, or boxwood.
Note that these are all woody-stemmed
plants and can have their limbs wired
to direct the growth.
Tropical and subtropical varieties
can not tolerate tempers below 40
- 50 degrees F. These plants can be
left outside when the temperatures
stay above this. Light inside the
house should be by filtered sunlight
from an east, south, or west window.
Grow lights 12 hours per day work
well. Outside in summer place in partial
shade
There is NO coniferous species that
can tolerate indoor cultivation for
more than 2 or 3 years. This is important
to keep in mind as most successful
bonsai trees are of the coniferous
species.
In mild climates, temperate bonsai
should remain outdoors year round.
In cold climates, temperate climate
plants should be grown outdoors during
the warm seasons of the year, but
will need winter protection. It is
possible to grow temperate climate
plants indoors in winter if they are
first given the required period of
dormancy.
The urge is strong for beginners to
grow their bonsai indoors. Although
a few traditional species for bonsai
may be grown indoors year round if
they are given a dormant rest period,
you should be aware that this requires
some skills usually obtained from
growing bonsai for a few years. We
can safely say that as a beginner,
you should begin with growing your
bonsai outdoors.
Alright, then, how do you start your
own bonsai masterpiece? Let’s
