This bonsai is outdoors, not indoors. It will remain there all year long. Temps of 115 degrees in the summer will promote rapid drying too ;) But It will be shaded, and close to the north side of the house where it is cooler. And it will be watered twice a day in the summer. In the morning before I go to work (4:30AM) and at 1:30PM, when I get home from work. Thanks for the input.
