Parrot's Beak bonsai care

This is a living Parrot's Beak (Gmelina philippensis). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoors through the warm season; indoors for winter
Light: Full sun to bright partial sun; the brightest window you have if kept indoors
Water: Consistently moist, never bone-dry, but the mix must drain freely
USDA zones: 9 to 11 outdoors year-round; indoor or greenhouse everywhere else
#1 cause of death: Cold over winter: it is stressed below 55°F, which is warmer than most people's idea of "safe indoors"

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Parrot's Beak bonsai care guide.
