Light

In spring, summer and autumn, ash bonsai must be placed in a sunny place (except for intermittent shade in order to avoid strong light in midsummer), and indoor bonsai must be exposed at least every three days. In winter, there must be sufficient diffuse light to maintain normal photosynthesis of the plant.
