How to care for outdoor bonsai

How to properly care for an outdoor bonsai? If you have a garden , balcony, or outdoor space, it's best to choose a regular bonsai . If you live in an area with frequent winter frosts, it's a good idea to provide additional protection to adequately protect the plant. Among the recommended plants, which are cold-resistant but must be protected from intense, direct sunlight , we suggest olive trees, pomegranates, mulberries, pines, juniper, Chinese privet, and Japanese maple .
Generally speaking, all imported Japanese species can be successfully grown in temperate zones, while in areas with a continental climate, partial shade should be provided in summer (for example, with protective shade cloths) and frost protection in winter. As mentioned in the previous paragraphs , outdoor bonsai trees can withstand low winter temperatures well. However, if frost occurs, it's a good idea to protect them by placing them in small greenhouses or with clear plastic sheets positioned to shelter them from excessively low temperatures .  
If you've decided to grow an outdoor bonsai , remember that light—as with all plants—is essential. Most bonsai trees require at least two hours of sunlight a day, every day. Without light, the leaves will grow excessively and become more susceptible to disease and parasites . Conifers, on the other hand, require prolonged exposure to full light to grow vigorously.
During particularly hot periods , it's a good idea to increase humidity levels using an automatic system that mistes the plant a couple of times a day. To create a more humid environment, it's helpful to also wet the floor—or the shelf the seedling is standing on—and the surrounding walls, so that the moisture is distributed throughout the plant. Remember to water the plant more frequently during summer days , but only if the soil surrounding it feels dry to the touch. Generally speaking, to avoid unpleasant surprises, it's essential to choose a bonsai species suited to the environment in which you plan to grow it: indoors or outdoors, and based on the typical temperatures and climate of your area.
