2. Kept year around, inside or outside, in a container.
3. Easy to maintain, provided substrate/soil, temperature, humidity and light that is natural for the tree.
4. A dynamic and rewarding combination of art & recreation.
Bonsai is not:
1. Japanese special kind of trees that are difficult to maintain.
Japanese grey bark Elm repotted and left out in the cold
"All your elms are belong to us."
Planning to keep this tree outside this winter. Normal precautions, but no default inhouse of my second elm either.
Chinese Elm left out in the cold
The Chinese Elm (also called "Lacebark Elm") was kept indoors last winter, but will remain outside this winter. I will take the regular precautions if the temp drops below 10.

Looking at the below image there is room for expanding of the crown. It can easily take 35-40% expansion in all directions and even look more like a tree in nature. If it survives, mohahahaha!
Cutling from Mother Fuchsia before and after pruning
Cutling taken during last winter. Like all cutlings from the mother it grows with vigour. Needs shelter when -10 celsius. Only species I won that will be kept indoors during winter time.
Du riechst so gut!
Austrian Pines
Here are the remaining 7 Pinus Nigras, rest of them were given away to my good bonsaifriends, Myrlik and Gymir.
Growing pines from seeds is a slow process.
