| I recently purchased a bonsai at the Fred Meyers and it didn't have a piece of paper on it that told me what kind of tree it was, so I don't know if it has a dormant period or not. I also need help on how to take care of it.

| Hi, it's an indoor tropical so don't worry about cold dormancy, per se, though it is quite likely to have a few weeks in the later fall where it stops growing and won't need watering quite as often, so be careful about that (take your cue from the soil, not a schedule). I think it may either be a Serissa or some kind of Ficus, not always easy to tell from a picture, but if leaves are on the stiffer side vs soft and easily 'rollable', plus if anyone suggested it gets white flowers, it would be a serissa. |
