The ginkgo needs a lot of light - especially as a potted plant
Is the ginkgo suitable as a houseplant?
The ginkgo is especially popular as a park and garden tree, but can also be cultivated as bonsai. If you do not have a garden, you might also want to use the ginkgo as a houseplant, but that's not so easy.
How do I take care of my ginkgo in the living room?
While a ginkgo in the garden thanks to its deep roots usually provides itself with water and nutrients, it must be regularly poured and fertilized in a pot. The potting soil may be slightly damp, but should have no waterlogging. About twice a month give your ginkgo a small dose of commercial liquid fertilizer.
To maintain your ginkgo as a houseplant is also the right pruning, otherwise the plant will soon be too big for your living room. A fresh air stay on the summery balcony will also do your ginkgo well.
Is the conservatory better suited?
Whether your ginkgo feels better in the winter garden depends on the climate there. If the winter garden is unheated, but frost-free in winter, then this is very accommodating to the ginkgo. Although it is hardy in the field, but not necessarily as a pot or potted plant. Make sure that the humidity in the summer is sufficiently high.
How and where should my ginkgo overwinter?
Do not leave your ginkgo in the living room all year round. As a deciduous tree, he absolutely needs the change of seasons or a hibernation, so he grows well in the long run. It's best to keep the ginkgo freeze-free at around + 5 ° C over the winter. If you put him back in the warm room in the spring, he will cast out again.

Tips
If you really want to keep your ginko in your room, at least occasionally treat it to a summer balcony.
