Growing tips

• Keep in a very bright indoor position close to a suitable window, away from cold draughts and direct radiator heat
• Avoid repeated moves between contrasting environments
• Check the soil frequently
• Water thoroughly when the surface starts to dry and let the pot drain fully
• Avoid both complete root-ball drying and persistently wet soil
• Use suitable bonsai fertiliser at the recommended dilution while growing
• Trim shoots gently to maintain the canopy
• Plan repotting carefully in warm growing conditions, as roots are sensitive to disturbance
• Keep warm and frost-free in winter, with the best available daylight
• Adjust watering to actual moisture levels as growth slows, and avoid leaving the tree against very cold window glass

Please note

• Flowering depends on light and the health of the tree, so blooms are not guaranteed on delivery
• A drip tray is not included unless specifically included in a purchased option
• Photographs are representative; trunks, branches, foliage and overall shape vary naturally between trees
