Hello Friends,
Long Island, New York USDA 7a
I was gifted a Japanese Wisteria by my significant other to celebrate an anniversary. I'm very familiar with plants in general but Bonsai is elusive to me. Suddenly this tree holds a tremendous amount of sentimental value to me, and I feel criminally unprepared to be caring for it. As Ned Stark would say, winter is coming. I've read for days and hours how to undergo the winter dormancy practices, all are conflicting. I beg for correct information of how to over winter my bonsai. I feel as if someone has dropped a crying baby on my doorstep.
The plant is starting to lose it's leaves at the moment. It is being kept inside out of sunlight. That seemed like the right thing to do from what I gathered from different sources.
In summary:
Where should I place my tree this winter?
How many hours of sunlight does it need?
How much water does it need?
And why do some people say to place them in a dish of water?
