No picture, but we all know how they look. Not much in common with bonsai really.

What you should do now is learn how to take care of it for a year. No repotting and very little pruning.

As Tropfrog said , this has little to nothing to do with bonsai, other than it probably being labelled bonsai in the shop. Just treat is as you would treat every other houseplant.

Such a nice gift to get.

In terms of care, lots of sunlight. Keep in a warm spot and let the soil dry up a little between wateren. However, never let the soil dry out through and through.

DO not worry about repotting or trimming etc. For now, just focus on keeping it happy .
