Hi there,
Today I got my first bonsai tree it is called a Zelkova. I have no idea of how to look after. My question is do I need to feed it fertilizer during the winter time? I’m keeping it indoors near an open window (there isn’t much direct sunlight). it gets watered whenever I see it drying up which is about once a day. Should I maybe put it under a lamp for two hours in the evening every day as I’m afraid it’s not getting enough light
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
How do I care for Zelkova bonsai tree?
