My bonsai tree seems happy where it is

I don’t really have a green thumb. But most of my new plants are doing well so far. The palm tree is the least happy but I think she was a little dry. So I watered her pretty good and I’m keeping a better eye on her. The bonsai however seems very happy. I have lots of new growth to decide what to do with. So far I’ve left it alone. Just seeing what it does. Honestly with me being a new bonsai owner I’m a little nervous about making any cuts. But I am starting to see where it needs to be shaped and a little needs to come off. Maybe I’ll get a second opinion from my son. He knows a lot about plants and he could give me a little confidence.

Did you grow the bonsai tree from a seed or was it already started? :hatched_chick::hatched_chick::hatched_chick:

It was a fully grown 2 yr old bonsai, already all twisty. All I have to do is keep the leaves and branches trimmed.

How often do you have to water bonsai tree?

Every 2 to 3 days. You can’t let them dry out. They need constant water. They even sit in a humidity tray.
