I hope this is in the correct category for the forum, apologies if it is not.

I need help identifying 2 bonsai trees. Any basic care tips would be recommended.

First one I know is an outdoor bonsai but that is all I know.

Second not sure about.

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance.

I´d say buxus and carmona.
In a very bad substrate.

They would do much better outside, in the summer.

The Buxus is outside. Checking into the Carmora found it's an indoor plant. Summers here are too unpredictable.

I think you would want it inside during freezing winters but it is from a region of pretty hot muggy summers so it would probably love being outside.

As stated though our summers are not consistent. Might get a few days here and there but then next week we are expecting ground frosts. Not a muggy climate here.

Box is totally hardy and would not survive inside. There is no need to protect.
