Environment

Thriving in partial shade and requiring minimal maintenance, this bonsai is ideal for indoor displays or shaded outdoor settings. To maintain health and appearance, regular thinning of the foliage is necessary to let light reach inner branches, preventing bare spots and encouraging backbudding. Consistent pruning enhances branch ramification and reduces leaf size. It is equally important to permit some unrestricted growth to sustain the bonsai’s overall vitality. Typically, the initial growth flush in spring (around April or May, depending on climate) can grow freely to strengthen the tree, followed by careful pinching and pruning throughout the remainder of the year to shape the foliage precisely.
