# My parents gifted me this bonsai, can anyone help me identify it?…

_Posted by Oliver A on 2024-02-01_

My parents gifted me this bonsai, can anyone help me identify it? Seems like a spruce but not sure what kind. Also do you believe I could keep it inside if I get a grow light? Thank you:)

I’d guess a juniper but not sure. It just looks like the one that I killed lol

It's a juniper. I needs to live outside or it will die. I'm not sure where you live. But in winter it needs cold storage no lower than -5C- -10c
