I have over 170 house plants. If I submitted a photo and a quick info guide on them per day or every few days, would that be something worthwhile of interest or would that be considered too spammy?

A better question might be: would it be better suited for a “houseplant” community, since this is more gardening and general nature inspired?

That sounds great! Maybe have a name for the series so that people know to look for your other posts.

Incidentally though, if there is a houseplant community please let me know. I got a bonsai for my birthday and I really don’t want to kill it

Quick FYI… most bonsai need to stay outside 365 days a year. They’re not plants. They are literally trees.

Can Bonsai survive in cold dry climates like Canada’s? Maybe that’s a stupid question to ask about a tree.

Not a stupid question. Small pots will freeze much harder than a tree in soil. You need to be more careful, especially with trees that are not as cold tolerant.

Certain varieties certainly can. Some people will take trees out of their pot and put them in the ground over Winter. Some put the whole pot in the ground.

It’s a ficus ginseng and the labels say it’s fine for indoor use, so bit confused now. It’s quite small at the moment and is doing well on my kitchen windowcill, hopefully it stays that way as I don’t have a garden

Even if you just have small space outside the tree would do fine outside as long as it’s warm at least 60F(15C).
