    Answer:
Put it outdoors, or at least move it to an indoor location with cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and abundant sunlight. Many bonsai, such as those crafted from junipers and maples, cannot live very long in the low light and high temperatures found indoors. At the very least, bonsai should spend the growing season outdoors. Temperate species can be left outdoors all year as long as they are not subjected to repeated freezing and thawing. Tropical plants like schefflera, weeping fig, and Natal plum can be grown as bonsai inside the home, as long as you can provide enough light and humidity and moderate indoor temperatures. In the past, bonsai specimens were almost always temperate plants, but more and more tropical bonsai are being produced so those without an outdoor space for bonsai can enjoy them as well.
