名媛直播

Hello!

I was just given this olive bonsai as a birthday gift and it's my first... I've notice the leaves have been falling and I have no idea why. I live in Portugal, so it's a pretty native tree here. I keep it indoors, but take it outside if it's sunny (which hasn't really been). Should I keep it outside? I'm also not sure when to water it... I'm sorry for these questions, but I'm new to this and the leaflet wasn't very informative.

Tnahk you!

You say the tree are native to your area. That is a good start for a beginner. Do any of the native olives grow indoors? Off cource not, put your tree outside and keep it there.

No need to be rude. I was told to keep it indoors and so I have.

My appologies didnt mean to sound rude.

Trees belongs outside.

Even bonsais? I always thought they were supposed to stay indoors...

You got it wrong. 名媛直播s is brought inside short periods for display, shows and photographing. That is why most photos on bonsai youll find online is inside.

If they stay inside for too long they will suffer from lack of ligt, wind and temperature gradient.

There are also trees marketed as indoor trees. Indoor in that meaning is non hardy trees that cannot be outside all year in temperate regions. They will thrive outside in the summer, but overwintering is a challenge. They will need something like 5-10 degrees, lots of light and humidity.

Vera, please bear in mind that this is an international forum, and lots of people here are not native English speakers so things can get misunderstood or misinterpreted in translation.

On topic: there is not one tree in the entire world that lives naturally indoors. A bonsai is a normal tree, so like every other tree it feeds on sunlight which it can not get inside.

ah ok. So even now in winter, I should leave it outside, is that right? I thought as much, but I was told it should be inside, so I didn't really know what to do. Thank you!

My bad then, I apologize. My languange isn't English either.

So should I leave it outside all the time? Even when raining, etc? I have various plants, decorative and agricultural, but I really have no experience with bonsais and the instructions it came with weren't very helpful. I'm familiar with olive trees and know they do well in the portuguese interior, which it's hotter than where I live. Because I thought bonsais where an indoor "plant" I really didn't know what to do with mine. I've been placing it outside when it's sunny and bringing it inside after sunset.

Olives are hardy to your area and you allready kept them outside in the days, right? Then I see no reason not to leave them outside at all times. If you see frost comming to your area it is best to protect the tree as it is in a kind of seasonal confusion state and might not be prepared to deal with it. Next winter after a full growing season a few frost nights is not an issue. But I guess frost is not very common in Portugal right?
