This looks like a type of bonsai tree or a money tree. That’s gorgeous! Where did you find that?!

Purchased it off of an auction site for bonsai

Hm it looks like they don’t have any pemnas in the system. I believe you can contact support and request a plant to be added. That may take a little time though. Usually I suggest logging it as a cousin plant for now, but with no other premnas, I’m not sure what to suggest for you 🤔 My generic bonsai advice is east facing for morning light, but indirect during the peak of the afternoon. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Don’t fertilize during the summer or winter. I would do a little google research just incase premnas don’t fit the generic guidelines

I love how it looks! Very cool twisted trunk. I hope it stays healthy for you ☺️
