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°c 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°C to 12°c 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!
