Hi everyone. I have 2 or 3 bonsai but I have never had a Chinese elm
before
and so decided to get one. The one I bought seems to be very healthy
and was
purchased from a reparable bonsai nursery. Anyway what I need to know is
this an indoor or outdoor bonsai. I live in England and at the store it
was
labelled as an indoor bonsai and was kept indoors but I would like to
hear
your experiences with these trees. Also as I understand it supposed
indoor
trees are best left outdoors in the summer.

I would recommend that you keep it outdoors. Even in the winter, you may
need to do little less than put a clear plastic bag over the tree. If it
gets really cold, you might want to bring it inside, but just make sure
that the bonsai doesn't heat up or cool down too quickly.
