Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may scorch its leaves.
Water: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering during the dormant season (winter).
Humidity: Thrives in normal indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting, especially in dry environments.
Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a bonsai-specific or balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil: Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix to prevent waterlogging and support healthy root development.
