Care Guide

- Light  

  Bright, indirect light—morning sun or dappled shade mimics its native understory home.  

- Water  

  Keep the soil and moss evenly moist. Water when the top 1 cm feels just dry, usually every 5–7 days.  

- Soil  

  Use a free-draining bonsai mix to prevent waterlogging and keep roots healthy.  

- Pruning & Training  

  Trim new shoots year-round to maintain the forest silhouette. Rewire trunks in spring for gentle shaping.  

- Feeding  

  Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer, reducing in cooler months.
