Is a bonsai tree suitable for indoor or outdoor growing?

How often should I water my bonsai tree?
Bonsai trees require regular watering, but the frequency can vary based on the tree species, pot size, and seasonal conditions. Generally, the soil should be kept slightly moist. It’s important not to let the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged.
How do I prune my bonsai tree?
Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and health of your bonsai tree. Use the included pruning shears to trim back new growth and shape the tree according to your preference. Detailed pruning instructions are provided in the instruction sheet.
How do I wire my bonsai tree?
Wiring helps shape the branches and trunk of your bonsai tree. Carefully wrap the wire around the branch or trunk and bend it into the desired position. Be gentle to avoid damaging the tree, and remove wire once the branches grow into the wire size.
How often should I repot my bonsai tree?
Repotting is usually necessary every 1-2 years to provide fresh soil and encourage healthy growth. Late Winter/Early Spring is the best time to repot most bonsai trees.
What should I do if my bonsai tree’s leaves turn yellow or fall off?
Yellowing or falling leaves can be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or insufficient light. Check your watering schedule, ensure the tree has adequate light, and adjust care as needed. Bear in mind that deciduous trees will lose leaves in cooler months.
Can I grow bonsai trees from seeds with this kit?
This starter kit is designed for young bonsai trees, not for growing trees from seeds. Creating a bonsai from seed can take a very long time, as most bonsai display well with thickened trunks and branching.
