Hi my name is Chloe. I have always been into the whole japanese culture and zen gardens, so I went a huge plant shop and bought a baby bonsai!
I asked one of the workers how to take care of it. She told me to every once in a while stick my finger down in the roots to see if the soil is moist. If it is dry...water it. but thats all she really told me...
I also know every two weeks to place it in a huge tub of water and wait till the bubbles stop coming and take it out... I really want to know more...so I won't kill it. Please help!!!

Welcome to the Forum Bonsai_Baby
Did you happen to get the name of the little bonsai you bought ?
It will be most helpful, since there are so many different types of bonsai out there. And some require different care than others.
At least the Place you bought it from gave you some basic tips for watering. Light is also very important most Bonsai need lots of it, a good amount of sunshine or long hours under grow lights.
When we get the name we can help you figure out the best care for your little Bonsai
P.S. welcome to Bonsai

Fukien Tea
Thees need lots of light to really do well, also these really like a drying period between waterings ( not completely dry tho ) so ya poke your finger in the soil if it is damp wait another day and check again
OOh ya keep it at or above 60 degrees Fahrenheit these don't like to get cold.
Von is looking good a couple yellowing leaves means let the soil dry out to almost completely dry before watering again
