hi i'm still a newbie in the bonsai world and i just bought a 6/8 years old myrtus comunis.
i live in France and the shopkeeper told me that this is an outdoor tree but i've read online that it can also be an indoor tree. i don't know what to do with the tree because i have nowhere to put it outside except on my balcony (no shade at all). I'm wondering if i can keep it in my bedroom at a constant 20¡ãc with quite a lot of indirect sunlight but a kinda dry air ( where i could mist it regularly ). that would be the most practical option but i'm open to any proposition.
also note that currently outside the temperature ranges from 2¡ãC to 12¡ãc every day.
please tell me what to do, i really want this tree to be healthy
thanks a lot

hello, when you bought it, was it outside, if so, but on your balcony sheltered against the wall, know that an indoor tree does not exist, if not find a place for it in a room where the temperature is the lowest and closest to a window and when the temperatures are milder, take it out on your balcony, me too, I'm in France

The thing is that I don¡¯t really have any room to put it where the temperature isn¡¯t around 20c so what should I do at this period of the year in France ? Bedroom or balcony ?

Agree, absolutelly balconny. This is a temperate species well adapted to your local climate. So outdoors all year, easy as that!
