Almost Bonsai

Simple care for small trees

盆栽 bon (pot) · sai (planting)

Outdoor trees

Juniper, Pine, Hinoki, Cedar, Maple

  • Sun: full sun, outside as much as possible
  • Water: thoroughly, just before the soil dries
  • Feed: lightly, spring to early summer
  • Winter: 35–40°F is ideal; insulate the pot

Indoor trees

Ficus, Fukien Tea, Jade, Serissa

  • Summer: outside as much as possible
  • Autumn: bring in before nights drop below 50°F
  • Light: the brightest spot you have
  • Air: keep away from heat and A/C vents

Bonsai are generally not suited as houseplants. Homes can be too dry, too dim, and too cold or warm for most trees.
