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

      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
