Well-drained loamy soil with sand or perlite; slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.
Water regularly during growing season, allowing topsoil to dry between waterings. Reduce significantly in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun for best color and hardiness. Can tolerate partial shade indoors if light is intense.
Apply balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks from April to September. Do not fertilize during dormancy.
Prune in late winter before new growth begins. Bonsai can be wired year-round except during active sap flow.
