Positioning your trees inside/outside and sun/shade

Deciding on what is the best location to place your Bonsai trees can be hard, as several factors (local climate, time of year, tree species, etc.) should be taken into consideration. Best is to know what species of tree you have and to look for specific information about it.

 

As a rule of thumb:
Most outdoor trees are best placed on a bright spot, about half the day in direct sunlight and protected from the wind.

Indoor trees are best placed on a bright position as well; some species prefer lots of sunlight while others prefer half shade. Place indoor trees somewhere with a constant temperature.
