I am a beginner to bonsai and bonsai care and I have recently purchased and received a Red Japanese Maple Tree from Eastern Leaf. So I have three questions:
1. I have discovered white spots underneath the leaves of my bonsai (I have only had the tree for 3 days), should I be concerned? I will add pictures when I am able to.

2. Do you have any tips a beginner should know either about bonsai and bonsai care in general? Or about Japanese maple trees specifically?

3. I have been keeping my bonsai tree on my windowsill where with the blinds over my window have closed (and my window is a South-facing window) and I have a vent near the windowsill. Is this enough light for the tree? And should I move/cover/block the vent? It is already dry in Idaho and I don't want to make it worse.

Thank you for time!

First study the subject, then buy a tree.

Trees do not belong indoors.

Okay! Is it okay if I keep it indoors during the cold winters? It does get regularly get below 14° F during the night. And it can get fairly windy. I am new so I don't know how well such a young plant will do. And I did do research, I just didn't know if there were any common problems or tips that aren't commonly known.

Never mind, I figured it out.

I don't know what 14 F is. A couple of degrees frost (below 0 C) shouldn't be an issue. Do protect it from the wind (won't be an issue now as it will have no leaves though)

My maples took -12C this winter without a problem.

WhiteLotus, what do the spots look like?

Were those maples newly acquired and out of dormancy?

If you acquire onenow, it should be dormant.

It should , but WL mentioned it having leaves.

Nope. The question is whether maples can stay outdoors during a few degrees of frost. The answer is, yes they can.
Naturally, if one were to keep one indoors untill mid-winter and then puts it outside in -10c, it would die.
