I hope this is in the correct category for the forum, apologies if it is not.

I need help identifying 2 bonsai trees. Any basic care tips would be recommended.

First one I know is an outdoor bonsai but that is all I know.

Second not sure about.

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance.

They would do much better outside, in the summer.

The Buxus is outside. Checking into the Carmora found it's an indoor plant. Summers here are too unpredictable.

I think you would want it inside during freezing winters but it is from a region of pretty hot muggy summers so it would probably love being outside.

As stated though our summers are not consistent. Might get a few days here and there but then next week we are expecting ground frosts. Not a muggy climate here.

Box is totally hardy and would not survive inside. There is no need to protect.
