Care

General Maintenance: Keep trimmed in whatever shape you desire (this bonsai is generally conical).

Temperature: Generally not picky on temperature, but should be covered at temperatures below 1C. During the winter, the plant should be moved indoors. Repot in early spring every 2-3 years.

Light: Needs some direct sunlight daily (minimum of 4-5 hours). Plants will drop leaves if there is not sufficient light. Full sun should be in the morning or late afternoon to prevent scorching.

Watering: Needs to be kept moist. Once the top 1/2 inch or so of soil is dry, water thoroughly. Once the plants are established they become more drought tolerant.

Fertilizer: Use a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in the winter.

Soil: Prefers a well-draining garden soil. They also prefer soil that is on the acidic side (pH of 5.5 – 6.5).
