Bonsai

Keeping a Bonsai tree alive is not a difficult task, but there are a few things you should be aware of. Bonsai trees are planted in small pots with minimal space for water and nutrient reserves. That means you need to water and fertilize your tree regularly. Make sure your Bonsai gets plenty of light, water, and fertilize when needed and your tree is sure to thrive!
 
While the level of care your bonsai tree requires will largely depend on the variety you choose to grow, there are some general care requirements to follow. 
Water
Bonsai plants require frequent watering and should never dry out completely. "Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged," says Funk. "Water when the top layer feels slightly dry to the touch."
Sun 
Keep your bonsai in an area where it receives bright, indirect sunlight. It should get up to three or more hours of direct sunlight daily, says Funk. 
 
Soil
Generally, bonsai trees require a well-draining soil mix that provides adequate aeration and water retention. But keep in mind that the soil mix should vary depending on the tree species and climate, says Funk.  
 
Temperature
The climate your bonsai tree requires will depend on the type of tree you're growing, as certain varieties need a cold snap. Indoor varieties, however, will do best in a humid, draft-free room with temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and between 40 to 55 degrees at night. 
 
Fertilizer
Apply a complete liquid fertilizer half strength every six weeks throughout the growing season—typically spring to midsummer—says Funk.
