With proper care, bonsai can last for hundreds of years, as full-grown trees would. Traditionally, they are passed down through the generations and revered as a reminder of those who have cared for them before.
A good way to take care of their health is to keep them away from the direct sun. These plants like humid conditions, so damp areas like the kitchen and bathroom are best. Regular watering, pruning them once a year, and fertilizing them will ensure their long life.
