Hi there!
I got a bonsai for Christmas and I have a few questions that I thought I should ask early on so I know I'm doing it right.
I have an Azalea Kurume and I read the page on this site and watched the short film and it says to keep the tree outside however my dog tends to chew most plants in our garden so at the moment it's on my window still which is open all day and night at the moment - is this okay? It gets sunlight from about 6am-10/11am. Also, my mum (who is the gardener in the family, but never had a bonsai) said to put a tray underneath it to catch all the water that comes out the drip whole. But I think the soil is staying damp the whole time because of this. Is this a bad thing?
thanks for your time!

Depending on the country you are in, it must be outside. Put it where the dog can't get it or train the dog.

Make a table high enough to be ut of reach?
The pot should not stand in water.
