Humidity

On hot days and in a paved place surrounded by walls the trees can
suffer from low humidity. You can increase humidity near your Bonsai

tree by placing it on a humidity tray filled with water and by misting your
tree a few times a day. What also helps is to wet the shelves, floors and
walls around the trees.

Watering and fertilizing

The most important rule is; never water on a routine. Monitor your tree
and only water when needed. This can be once in three days or several
times a day, depending on the weather, species and size. Please read
the watering and fertilizing pages for more detailed information.

Temperature

Outdoor trees can endure high temperatures as well as very cold weather

if they are cared for properly. It is important for most species to provide
protection from strong frost in winter. In spring, when the new leaves
emerge, take care that the trees are protected even from light night frost.

To summarize, make sure to select the right tree species and take into
account the specific care guidelines for outdoor trees, and you will do just
fine!
