Where to position your Bonsai tree

A Bonsai prefers morning sun with protection from afternoon sun in summer. Filtered sun in the afternoon is okay.

If your Bonsai is placed against a wall make sure you turn it around every two weeks. If the tree is not turned every two weeks it may grow out of shape as it grows towards the light. Do not place a bonsai pot directly onto concrete if it will be subject to direct sunlight for long periods. The heat generated off the concrete coupled with the small amount of soil in a bonsai pot can bake the roots of the tree and kill it.

Avoid sea breezes with some species as the salty air can kill the tree. Protect some varieties, especially figs, from winter frosts.

i don`t think bonsai would fare too well in the frost, they seem to need warmer soil, though I suppose they could be moved to the greenhouse during cold periods. :idea:
