Good morning everyone! I am new here and equally new to bonsai. I have a dilemma. I live in an apartment in Washington DC with only north facing windows and balcony. I get maybe an hour or so of direct sunlight a day. I have 4 trees, one of which was purchased already styled, 2 that are to young to style and a Juniper that I bought from here to be my first styling on my own. My fellow apartment dwellers what do you do to supplement the light your trees need or is the indirect light sufficient?
My tree species are Fuji Serrissa, Olive, sequoia and in front the Juniper
Thank you everyone

The only one that might survive is the serrisa the rest will not last long. Not enough light air or variation in temperature.

Well, they should be all outside.
Even if you put them very close to the window, 1 hour of sun is not enough for any bonsai, even if it's labeled "indoor bonsai".
Grow Lights are an option, but then humidity has to be high also.
Not very easy...

They are all outside, currently, the addition of grow light would help? Any recommendations for lights?
