Water – watering is the most important part of caring for a bonsai. Please ensure that the soil is kept just damp at all times.
Light – no plant is able to grow without natural daylight. Please ensure that your bonsai gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day.
Food – bonsai are reliant on us for everything, so we need to make sure they get all the nutrients they need.
Temperature – indoor bonsai in particular like to be kept at roughly room temperature. If they get cold, they can often drop their leaves and struggle to grow. If they get too hot, they can dry out.
