The Bonsai plant is beautiful but not looking very healthy. Iy is still a good decorative piece on my writing table. It is very delicate and sensitive to direct sinlight. I bought many more from my nursery. All of them are healthier and more robust. This Bonsai plant is beautiful indoors. Requires occasional exposure.
