All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

That sounds great! Maybe have a name for the series so that people know to look for your other posts.
Incidentally though, if there is a houseplant community please let me know. I got a bonsai for my birthday and I really don't want to kill it
Quick FYI... most bonsai need to stay outside 365 days a year. They're not plants. They are literally trees.
Can Bonsai survive in cold dry climates like Canada's? Maybe that's a stupid question to ask about a tree.
Not a stupid question. Small pots will freeze much harder than a tree in soil. You need to be more careful, especially with trees that are not as cold tolerant.
Certain varieties certainly can. Some people will take trees out of their pot and put them in the ground over Winter. Some put the whole pot in the ground.
It's a ficus ginseng and the labels say it's fine for indoor use, so bit confused now. It's quite small at the moment and is doing well on my kitchen windowcill, hopefully it stays that way as I don't have a garden
