Hello,
I received a store bought bonsai as a gift several years ago. It was probably from a home improvement store since the top stones were glued down and it was not in bonsai soil. I figured this out just today since I noticed it has been shedding leaves excessively for the past few months. It has been grown inside since I received it and was growing very vigorously until a few months ago. I have also noticed that it has grown a bunch of air roots. I like the plant and have done zero maintenance on it besides watering for the past few years, so it is super large for a bonsai. I do not have the time or motivation to properly take care of it as a bonsai, so I was wondering it I could simply re-pot it into a normal houseplant pot and let it grow as it pleases. I know this is a very strange question for this forum but I have searched and not found a thread with a similar topic. I want to know if I can help the plant by repotting it and treating it as a normal houseplant and decrease the amount of time I need to spend maintaining it.
Thanks for any help,
Bob
