Position & light

Provide plenty of natural light and good airflow. Protect from cold draughts and intense radiator heat. Acclimatise gradually to a sheltered outdoor position in warm weather, avoiding abrupt exposure to strong summer sun.

Watering

Check regularly and water thoroughly as the soil surface starts to dry. Keep the root ball evenly moist without leaving the roots in standing water.

Feeding & pruning

Feed during active growth with suitable bonsai fertiliser. Trim new shoots to retain the outline. Repeated hard pruning can reduce flowering; allow the tree to settle after arrival before major styling.

Winter care

Keep bright and frost-free. A greenhouse or conservatory must provide adequate protection from cold; an unheated structure alone does not guarantee frost protection.
