Actually, I believe you are incorrect in your reasoning. Pardon me for saying so, but a book I have says otherwise. I'm a beginner, so please bare with me if in deed I am wrong.

Bonsai is a Japanese expression (Bon - shallow tray, sai - plant) now used worldwide. It is the name given to an ART FORM, orginally Chinese, which is based on a study of trees growing in the wild. Bonsai re-creates nature in an idealized miniature landscape. *Direct quote taken from Bonsai - 101 Essential Tips

I also have a Ficus Ginseng that dropped it's leaves in my home, I guess it got too cold and is now thriving in my office.
OP, these are the 2 books I'm working with currently.
Indoor Bonsai *A beginner's Step-by-Step guide by Dave Pike
Bonsai * 101 Essentail Tips by KD Publishing.
Good luck!
