Watering: Check the soil daily. When the soil is completely dry, water thoroughly until the water runs out through the holes in the bottom of the pot. Prolonged dryness will damage the bonsai. Over watering may prove harmful also.

Misting: Mist the leaves daily. In winter, you may have to mist more frequently due to heating systems.

Light: Bonsai should have plenty of light, whether natural or grow light.

Temperature: Ideal temperature is 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Bonsai should normally remain indoors. However, they can be placed outdoors in a shady area in summertime.

Fertilizer: Use common house plant fertilizer. Use 1/3 to 1/2 the strength listed on the label. Fertilize twice a month from March through October. Fertilize once a month during winter months, November through February.

Trimming: A new shoot should be trimmed when it becomes 2 to 3 inches long, or when the leaves on the new shoot are the same color as the older leaves. On the average, trimming will be done once every 1 or 2 months.

Repotting: Repot every 1 to 2 years. Usually in spring.
