Questions about Zelkova Bonsai

I have a couple of questions about a Zelkova bonsai I bought. It is my first bonsai and therefore do not know anything.

1. Some leaves are getting yellowish at their end. Why?

2. Do I have to keep indoor or outdoor?

Thanks

Most trees should be kept outside and only taken inside when you wish to showcase the plant for say an evening or a few days. Though, if you have had your tree inside for a bit, you are going to want to harden off your tree by having it outside in the day and in at night for a bit. Then, you can move it outside on a permanent basis.


The browning may be because of a lack of moisture. Immerse the pot in a sink of water and mist your tree daily. Some liquid organic fertilizer can help as well.
