Collected this April 24 from the neighbor across the street. I did the black bag heat mat with frequent misting and minimal watering. After a month it started to bud, I then switched to a clear plastic and only exposed it to an hour or so to direct sun. I'm a newbie at bonsai just started last year. I have removed the bag completely and moved it from the front porch to the back yard. It gets maybe 2 or 3 hours of dappled sun. I continue misting it throughout the day. Should I leave well enough alone or can I give it a little more direct sun? I'm in zone 5a. Appreciate any feedback!
