The best for caring a bonsai plant is to feed a fertilizer which is less in nitrogen so as to prevent its excessive foliage growth. For protecting it from the insects you can use the chemicals which you are using for indoor plants. Always choose a very shallow pot so as to prvent long growing roots.
From time to time you can repot it, while you repot trim hard and big roots but keep the small and fine roots as they feed the plant.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
