If you have difficulty with houseplants, this might not be pretty. Care can't be hit or miss because of the small pot. Bonsai takes more discipline than a common houseplant.

I would go to our FAQ area and read up on how to water a bonsai and the care of bonsai in general.

Exactly what Tapla said! Some people think, when hearing that, that the idea is to give less and less water, but still do it every day, and that's not the case - it should have enough to wet the whole pot when you do it ('nuf to reach the drain holes), but let it get fairly dry altogether between waterings.

I know that I run the risk of getting shot for saying this but if this all sounds too dificult it may be better to un-bonsai it. Put it in a bigger pot and let it grow like a normal house plant.
