Caring for your indoor bonsai

Once you have chosen your tree, it is important to learn how to care for it properly. Bonsai trees require a lot of care and attention, but they can be very rewarding if you are willing to put in the effort.

Here are some tips for caring for your indoor bonsai:

• Place your tree in a spot that gets bright, indirect light. Bonsai trees need plenty of light, but they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. A south-facing window is a good spot for most indoor bonsai trees.

• Fertilize your tree regularly. Bonsai trees need to be fertilized every few months to stay healthy. Use a balanced fertilizer that is specifically designed for bonsai trees.

• Repot your tree every few years. As your tree grows, it will need to be repotted into a larger pot. This will give the tree’s roots more room to grow.
