“I thought bonsai were supposed to be kept indoors” or “Shouldn’t those trees be inside?” are statements that I hear all too often. Outdoor bonsai are truly better than indoor trees for dozens of reasons.
I think just about anybody would struggle to keep a bonsai indoors for one simple reason: It’s a tree.
Most bonsai that are sold are for indoor use. I think that this is something that has been done by shops to make them more commercially viable. When they are bought and put in the house, most of the time it is a constant struggle of life and death putting new bonsai owners off the idea completely and giving up.
The answer to this is simple! Buy an outdoor tree. It’s where trees are meant to be and you will notice that is is SO much easier caring for them in their natural habitat.
Dear Adam:
All you say is quite sensible, and your idea about growing bonsai outdoor is just wonderful – I was thinking about it for some time already… Thanks a lot!
Thanks Sergey it’s nice to hear some positive comments!
