How to look after your Bonsai Tree
They need to be outside in the sun so they can nourish the sunlight unless the outside climate is very extreme. If kept indoors the Bonsai tree is disturbed from it's nourishment's and cannot grow well.

When watering your plant, it is best to consider the amount of water your bonsai tree will need. The pot needs to be large to hold enough moisture and the accessories and bonsai tree should not be dried out altogether. Too much water can also harm your bonsai tree. To correctly water your plant you need to soak the soil well, then let the water allow to run out, finally the soil should be moist throughout.

Here are some reasons your bonsai tree may need extra water:

-Your bonsai tree may be rootbound.
- The plant may have been expose to a lot of sun so needs a lot of water.
- The pot the bonsai tree is keep in may not hold sufficient water.
- The water drains fast from the soil.

How to correctly repot your bonsai tree

It may be useful to prune the aged roots form the pot because only recent roots can soak up the nutrients and water. If the nutrients in the soil have decreased so new soil will be needed. It is important to remember to not repot old soil due to insufficient nutrients. The tree will grow incredibly well with fresh soil.

Aged bonsai trees may need to be repotted every 3 to 4 years whereas youthful trees need to be repotted yearly as they are growing the most in the first years. When the roots begin coming up, you can tell this when the soil rises in the pot, this may also means you need to replant. Other cases may be when water cannot be drained properly due to roots growing through the pot holes.
