I have several ficus trees, two of them are willow leaf. I put them all
outside for the summer when the night time low will not be any lower
than 50 degrees F. I live in S.E. Michigan so I experience similar
weather to yours. . All of them are placed where they will be in full
sun and they do very well.

Hello all,

I have a willow leafed fig bonsai tree and I live in southern Ontario
Canada. It is springtime here, with temperatures warm during the day.
I
have been putting my fig outside during the day in the warm sun (which
would
probably be too hot during mid summer). The temperature could probably
go
to 5 degrees celsius at night time, so I have been bringing it inside.
Is
this unnecessary? Can it handle the chilly temperatures?

Also, during the summer when it is very hot, where is a good spot for
it?
Obviously not in full sun all day, but shade would be bad too. Any
tips?

Thank you,
Kelly
