The object to the right of the tree in all the photos that follow is a ruler in inches.
It is there to help you judge the size of the bonsai pictured.

For More information on the above requirements, please scroll to the bottom of the page.
Please Note: Many species we offer make fruit and/or flowers. Flowers last a few days,
fruit usually lasts 10 to 20 days. The photo you see is a "snapshot in time." It represents
the bonsai at the time the photo was taken. Some have less fruit or flowers when delivered,
some have more. Check our Testimonials page. Many customers comment that the bonsai looks better than its photo when they get it.
As advertised, we send you "The Bonsai in The Photo" you ordered,
but being a living thing, it will mature after the photo is taken.

Bonsai species that are listed in red and blue type cannot tolerate cold temperatures, and must be brought indoors when the temperature goes below 50 to 60 degrees. red type is for species that need 3 or more hours of DIRECT sun to do well. blue type is for species that can survive in bright light, with little or no direct sun, but they will do even better with some direct sun.
Species listed in Black type need cold winters to survive. Species listed in Green type need cold in winter, but can survive indoors in an area that is below normal Room Temp.
In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as an "indoor bonsai." There are bonsai that can survive indoors, but any and all species of bonsai will do better when kept outdoors when the temperature is in their "comfort zone."
Considering that most people sleep 7 or 8 hours each night, go to work or school for most of the daytime hours, and pursue other interests for part of the day, why keep a bonsai indoors 24 hours a day when you are only there to see it for a short part of each day?
If the answer is that you want a bonsai for your office, or your living situation precludes having an outdoor place available, there are bonsai that will survive indoors. They are listed in red and blue type.
If an outdoor place is available and you are serious about this hobby, your bonsai should "live outdoors, and visit indoors" as much as the weather allows.
If direct sunlight is a problem stick to one of the species in blue type. They will flourish in direct sun, and will survive in bright indirect light.
If you are still not sure which species will work best for you, either call 917-325-3954 during the day or write us at Paul@bonsaiofbrooklyn.com and include your number and the best time to call. Please include your time zone.
