Hello Bonsai thread. Since I am still trying to stay as much indoors as possible (even though vaxxed) I had this strange idea of giving Bonsai care a try, and got myself a starter set. It's a 7 year old Ligustrum (hope that's the correct translation into english) which I'll keep indoors. I already found a nice spot for it that should match what I red in the book that came with it, and is pretty close to my air humidifier, and now I'm totally ready to basically do everything wrong because I'm kinda scared of this little beautiful thing. So thanks for reading and be prepared for stupid questions. e: currently reading the OP which is cool and good! tuo fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Aug 6, 2021 |

Thanks a lot! I'll check that little guy permanently in regard to dry soil. I won't really start with pruning and other stuff until I realize I can keep it alive with proper watering and fertilizing it (don't want to introduce too many possible errors too soon). Currently I won't put it outside, as it's lovely weather here, but if we get some nice late summer days, I'll definitely give it some nice sunny afternoons. I think I'll call it Woody the 1st.

Bug Squash posted:If there's a spot the tree can sit outside in the sun, then it will grow better, but Chinese privet mostly needs to be inside over winter (climate depending). I am currently soaking up as much information as I can get all over the net, but of course I'll ask the questions here because goons: as I understand it, it's not advisable to keep a bonsai indoor all the time (as you also said). So if I now put it outside in a slight shaded place but where it also gets full sun for couple of hours...do I have to do this slowly, only couple of hours at first, or can I just put Woody 1st out into the late summer we have here 24/7, and water and fertilize until it gets colder, and then put it inside again?
