How often to water a bonsai tree?

I have a cheap “tropical” bonsai tree I got from wal-mart for around 10 bucks, It has long, thin grassy leaves coming off it and it is about 20″ high, how often should I water it? Should I water it less often because it is a “tropical” tree?

How to grow a mini bonsai tree?

I recieved a mini bonsai tree kit as a gift. It came with a pot, soil, decorative gravel, and the seeds. How do i set this all up. The pot has a 1 cm whole on the bottom, so how do i put the soil in there without it falling through to the bottom? Also, after i put the seeds in the soil, do i put the deocorative gravel on top right away, or do i wait until the seeds have started to sprout? Also, how many seeds should i plant in the pot? The container is only 2in x 2in so it is not very big, so i am guessin you only want to end up with one tree, but do you want to plant more seeds then that? This is my first one and i am very excited about it, but obviously could use some guidance. Thanks for your help!

What kind of lighting is best for bonsai trees?

have a small potted bonsai tree at home. It is not doing well no matter what window I put it in. I’d like to bring it to work and keep it in my office, but there is no natural sunlight there, just flourescent lights. Someone else has houseplants in their office, and they do well in the flourescents, but I’m not sure if it’s the same way for a bonsai.
