How much sunlight does my evergreen bonsai need?

I have a Sagaretia Chinese Bird Plum Bonsai tree. I keep it in my bedroom window, but because the sun only hits my window directly in the afternoon, could that effect the growth and health of my bonsai. Or would i have to move it from one side of the house to the other?|||Bonsai trees are best placed outside such as on a patio, balcony, terrace or a garden. Your placement is right; just position it in a way so that it receives enough daily sunlight. The best place is on a window sill facing South.





Morning sun and afternoon shade are best for the growth of bonsai. Typical sun exposure of 4-6 hrs a day is all you need to ensure proper growth.|||This site may give you some insights on your plant.

It will need the same light as the standard version which you may find here.
