North facing window for ligustrum sinense was created by Mablo

Posted 1 year 2 months ago #81663
Hello, I’m new here and I have a question. I want to buy a 7 year old ligustrum sinense bonsai but I only have a north facing window (it’s a pretty big window). I will of course remember about appropriate watering, fertilizing and all the other care, but the north window is my only concern. Do you think the ligustrum sinense will survive or no? Thanks in advance.

Is survival your only concern?

In southern hemisphere a northern window may be fine. In northern less so.

No matter where you are the tree should be outdoors in summer.

I live in Poland, Europe sadly so buying this particular bonsai probably isn’t a great idea then.

Trees have evolved throu thousends of year, adapting to the environment they live in. No tree has evolved for indoor environment.

The art of bonsai has been evolved thrue hundreds of years growing trees outdoors.

The term indoor bonsai first showed up a few decades ago. This was driven by market and business. The trees themselvs or the hobby has not changed much. The trees and the hobby still grrow best putdoors.

Get yourself a locally hardy species and grow it outdoors.
