I received my first bonsai as a present. I believe is is actually in decent shape and not what I think is referred to as a mallsai from what I've seen. I am from South Dakota and trying to find a place to keep it for the winter as it is frequently below zero outside which I've read is too cold. My garage is heated at 70 but I have a storage/cellar room that stays between 30 and 50 degrees but there is no natural light? Is this okay? I could also keep it in the guest room which I keep the door closed to which stays around 50-60 degrees and would get some light through the window. What kind of light does it need when it is dormant? I've got some great places once spring comes around but not sure on what this dormancy phase needs. Also, I received it after being inside a home so if I move it into a colder condition so I need to do it slowly to let it adjust? Thanks for the help!
