Do I need to stick to a specific grow light schedule for my bonsai?
I?retired, sold my house & now travel the USA in an RV. Therefore, every couple of weeks (or less) I secure the plants and travel 5-6 hours during the day to move locations. How important is it to keep a strict lighting schedule, or can I vary it (sometimes grow light on at night & other times during the day)
Additional info: I am new to bonsai but I’ve recently purchased a 4 year old ficus, planted a spruce which is now an inch high seedling and am in the process of creating a new bonsai out of an azalea. Also, planning on adding some succulents to my little corner indoor garden.
Thanks for your help!

Apart from the Ficus the need to be outside, and succulents will not do well inside either

P.ants evolved with roots stuck in the ground, with sun light at levels which changed slowly from day to day. They expect darkness on a 24 hour cycle and they expect temperature changes with cold spells every winter.?

They can survive some variation from what they evolved under, but they probably won't survive much variation.? Most of us in Alabama have tried larches and they always die because we can't provide the winters latch evolved in. Ficus can move indoors during the winter but they can't get the humidity and air motion they want and they don't do well during the indoors.

Your ficus may do okay.? The spruce and azalea probably won't.? Succulents may thrive. Good luck.

As a succulent entusiast for more than 40 years I think it is very funny when people think they thrive indoors. Obviously people are so used to struggling elongated windowsill plants that they think it is how they look.

Most succulents flower on a yearly cycle, but anyway most people have never seen the flowers. But in my opinion it is not possible to say that a plant that never have flowered is thriving.

To me succulents are exclusivly outdoor species. Overhead protection from rain is necesary in most non desert areas and frost protection is necesary in most temperate regions.

No extra light is necessary. Sun is still the best light.
