Bon5A1...

It's been a week now...you've been given a lot of advice...much of it good...however, you need, and we need, to know conclusively what species your tree is.

If your tree is an outdoor type, and most are, it's almost certain death when kept indoors. Until you know the species, you don't know...indoor or out.

Another thing...you'd do youself a great favor if you would find a local bonsai club, and hook up with a "local"...a person who has extensive bonsai experience in YOUR local area.

Further, Bon5A1, it appears that you doing things and then asking if they are OK to do...after the fact. Bad on ya'! It's a very good idea to ask first...unless you don't care whether or not your bonsai survives.

And remember, Bon5A1, bonsai is a trip that demands time and patience. Welcome aboard, and, enjoy the journey.

In no way should you feel that I’m saying that my way is the only way…heaven forbid! I've seen far too much of the "my way or the highway" attitude in bonsai as well as in other areas of life.
