If you have a bonsai plant, it's important to remember that caring for them is akin to caring for a baby. Loving and caring is required but it's not sufficient; you also have to show certain "parenting" skills to ensure that your bonsai plant will enjoy a long and healthy life.
Tip #1: WATER
Factors that affect the amount of water required by a bonsai plant include but aren't limited to the type of tree you're taking care of, what season it is at present, if the tree's grown outdoors or indoors, and so forth.
Tip #2: LIGHT
Tip #3: HUMIDITY
Tip #4: POTS
Tip #5: FERTILIZER
