24 hour light? for Bonsai tree

[majerez85]

I jsut bought a growth light with my money, is it ok to bring the bonsai tree in at night and put on the growth light. And then in the morning put it outside. Please help.

No. Thats a bad idea for any plant. Plants need darkness as a sort of rest period.

Sure. 6 hours of dark will keep the plant from stressing, but 8 ours is better. Adding two hours under the light before it goes outside and after it comes in is o.k., but 24/7 is not healthy...
