This lovely bonsai has been indoors and happy with owner 1. Owner 2, receiving it as a gift, left it in the dark and it lost all its leaves. Owner 3, myself, has been given the task to try and make/keep it happy. It is the first time I try to keep a bonsai. I am keeping the soil moist at all times.
Could anyone help me;
1) identify the sort of tree? Is it a hornbeam?
2) might it be dormant or dying?
3) Is it a good time to prune, it seems like it needs it.
4) It has always been indoors so I mean to keep it indoors for winter. Is this correct?
This tree has been neglected for too long and I hope I can get it back on track with your help. Thank you!
