Hello fellow peeps with green fingers. I got a bonsai tree a few months back and I have no idea what I'm doing with it, so I'm looking for any help that you may be able to give me.
I watered it as instructed by the shop (I.e. watered the soil over the top). This seemed to pretty much kill the plant. I then started to water it from underneath. This seemed to rejuvenate the plant and it started to sprout again. In fact the the branches have grown wild. There's also a small fungus-like thing on the soil.
Does anyone have any advice on how I should be caring for it. Should I trim the new leaves back, and if so by how much. Should I chop off the old withered ones. I don't know how much I should do in case I cut off too much and kill the plant outright.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I really do love the plant. Thanks in advance.

First of all, a picture. Second, water from the top correctly. Water should pour through the soil until it pours out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. This washes deposits out of the soil, which does not happen when you water from the bottom.

Without you telling us what tree you have ( bonsai is not a teee species) and where it is placed it is impossible to say anything. As Ivan said: a picture is needed:) :S
