Care

General Maintenance: Repot only once rootbound.

Temperature: Keep above 5°C.

Light: Full sun is ideal. Bright indirect will also work, but bonsai need lots of light to thrive. They will not do well in low light locations.

Watering: Keep consistently moist, but not soggy or waterlogged. An old bonsai watering trick is to place the entire pot in a sink of water an inch or two deep and let the water absorb from the holes in the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering in the winter.

Fertilizer: Fast-draining soil, slightly calciferous (high sand and lime content).

Soil: When new growth appears in the spring, it’s time to start feeding your bonsai. Use a liquid bonsai fertilizer or half-strength general purpose plant food every two weeks from spring to autumn. Do not fertilize for three months after repotting.
