Answer 2

How much you expose your bonsai tree to the sun is critical to its growth. Make sure it's on a window sill or patio facing south and the typical sun exposure is no more than 4-6 hours a day.

Bonsai trees are best bought from a nursery as they're better maintained than those you get from department stores. Nuseries that sell seedlings or small bonsai plants grow better in homes.
