Indoor Bonsai

These sub tropical and tropical trees,can be termed as indoor bonsai, and are happy indoors for extended periods of time. It is always good for your indoor bonsai to have some time outdoors in summer, but most will not withstand frost, so must be kept inside during the rest of the year. A bright south facing position is ideal in winter, without drafts, with a shadier spot in Summer and always close to a window. Also check out our Indoor/ Outdoor Section for an even bigger selection of bonsai that can be kept both indoors and outdoors.
