Bonsai's need watering very little but often. They soon die if not watered regularly.

Water with natural water if possible ie. rain water, if not use water from the tap that has been stood for a few days, if its an out door plant, only bring indoors for a couple of days at a time, if its an in-door type keep it away from any heat and dont let it get to cold. give it natural light if possible, only put out side in the summer months. feed with a weak plant food every month and they only need repotting every 3 years or so. If you get the bonsai bug, buy a good book or ask some one to buy you one for christmas GOOD LUCK

Don't over water, but keep the soil moist. You might plant it in a slightly large container, not much large, but so you can add some coffee grounds, tea bags.
Depending on the type of tree, keep it away from extremes in temperature. Heat is worse than cold. Don't have it over the radiator where it will dry out.

You've got to be careful not to overwater them.
Try this web page; I used this one when I got mine. Now mine is lushously green!

If you put them out in a rain shower they like it.
