Caring for a Golden Larch was created by Cumquats

Hi there!!

I'm new to this site and taking care of bonsai's so I apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

A few months back I recently bought a Golden Larch bonsai. I've been misting it daily and making sure it stays in the shade.
Recently, the leaves have slowly started turning golden to brown and then falling off.

I've done some research and it seems that it's the nature of autumn to cause this but I'd love to get your opinion on this and make sure that i haven't been over watering it, left in too much shade etc.

Also, if any one could recommend me suitable places to put my Larch, I would love your input as it was living on the kitchen window sill, however due to higher uses in my kitchen the humidity changes quiet a lot at the moment so I've placed it in my room where there is a bit more sunlight coming through.

Any recommendation and advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

I also live in the UK

Larches lose their needles in the fall and winter, so that is normal.

They also need a long period of cold weather to get their dormancy in. The UK is a big place, but it probably wants to be outside just about anywhere. It wants a decent period below freezing, and it won't get that in the kitchen.

There is only one suitable place and that is outside. Inside it will die, without any doubt

Pseudolarix is a hardy species and must be outside. Misting is not the way to water. Nowhere in UK will this species need any protection.

Also don't keep it in the shade outdoors. Put it on a place where it get atleast 6to8hours of sun.
