Having a bonsai in a terrarium can be a very good thing, but it can pose some problems. You can get Powdery Mildew if there is poor ventilation for your tree. All it is is a white, floury layer of fuzzy stuff and will eventually kill the tree. I had it once and all I did was ventilate my terrarium more.

I think you have chosen a good species for this experiment. What type of lighting are you using?
