A common misconception about bonsai trees is that they need to be managed indoors. Most Bonsai trees should be located outside where the four seasons can be felt due to temperature changes and relatively high humidity.

Choosing an Outdoor Bonsai Tree

Do you have a garden or balcony where you can put bonsai trees outside? What kind of tree is it?

The most important thing to consider is the conditions under which the tree can be provided and which species can live in these conditions. Choosing a natural tree is always a good idea, but keep in mind that frost-resistant species need frost protection when planted in shallow pots.

Outdoor bonsai tree care

Cultivating outdoor bonsai trees is different from ordinary potted plants. The main reason is that bonsai trees are planted in small pots, which limit storage space for nutrients and water. More importantly, bonsai trees in temperate climates require winter dormancy, but most species must be protected from frost and strong winds during that time.

Special care for outdoor bonsai species:

1. Light

Most outdoor bonsai trees need to see sunlight for at least several hours a day. Otherwise, outdoor bonsai trees will grow too large between nodes. And are susceptible to pests and diseases. Most conifers need to be in the sun all day for healthy growth.

2. Humidity

On hot days or walled areas, trees can be difficult to stay healthy at low humidity. To increase the humidity near the bonsai tree, place it on a humidified tray full of water and spray with water several times a day. It can also help to wet the shelves, floors, and walls around the trees.

3. water cycle and manure cycle

The most important rules are as follows: Do not water often. Observe the tree and water it only when necessary. You can do it once every three days or several times a day, depending on the weather, species, and size. See the Bonsai Water and Manure pages for more information.

4. Temperature

Outdoor bonsai trees, if properly cared for, can withstand high temperatures as well as cold weather. Most species should be protected from the strong frost of winter. Care should be taken to protect the trees even in the light night frosts of spring when new leaves emerge.

In summary, you need to choose the right species and follow the special care instructions for outdoor trees. Then no problem!
