Indoor /Outdoor Bonsai

Many varieties of bonsai can be kept either indoors or outdoors. If kept indoors refer to our 'indoor bonsai care' section. If outdoors refer to our 'outdoor bonsai care' section. But all bonsai benefit from being outdoors for periods of time during the summer months.  Always aclimatise before moving your bonsai from indoors to outdoors in cold weather.
