Bonsai tree care and maintenance?
Does anyone know the best time of year to re-pot a deciduous indoor bonsai tree?
Also, are there any good websites about bonsai care and maintenance?
You may have your terms confused. There is no such thing as an indoor, deciduous tree. A deciduous tree is a leaf tree that looses its leaves in the cold season and grows them back in the spring (outdoors). Most all indoor bonsai are tropicals, meaning that they do not shed leaves and go dormant, they are in constant growth at moderate to hot temperatures (like indoors).
If your tree is a tropical (ficus, scheffelera, etc.) and kept in a constantly stable indoor environment, it can be repotted at any time like a standard house plant. Just be sure not to fertilize or over water while it is adapting to the new pot.
You may want to check around to get a positive ID on what kind of tree you have first. Try a google image search for indoor bonsai.
As for websites, I find the forums are the most informative as they aren't trying to sell you anything and you get answers from other people in the hobby. Here's a few -
