Scientific Name : Ehretia buxifolia
Description : Originating from Southwest China, it belongs to the Boraginaceae family.
A small-sized tree with slow growth, evergreen leaves highly valued for their lush green color.
It produces a white flower that can be followed by a fruit. There are 2 varieties, the large-leaf (Macrophyla) and the small-leaf (microphyla), the latter fruits more easily.
Location : Indoors near a window (maximum distance 50 cm), without curtains or blinds, where it receives 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight per day, rotated 180° weekly, away from heat sources or air conditioning. It can spend the warm months outdoors, but does not tolerate temperatures below 12°C.
Watering : Water the soil abundantly until plenty of water flows out of the drainage holes, to evenly moisten the soil, always from above, never by immersion, using a watering can with fine holes.
For tips on watering, see the watering technical sheet.
Allow the surface layer of the soil to dry well between waterings (to check if the plant needs water, touch the soil with your fingers). It does not have a high water consumption.
They are sensitive to root fungi if subjected to excess water and/or lack of light.
If you have a tray under the Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent root rot).
Nutrition : From February to November, with a basic plan composed of a complete fertilizer (Fertil Bonsai Humic, or Green & Gold Bonsai Organic or Biogold), and a biostimulant (Bio Bonsai Activ), which can also be combined with other products from our range.
Detailed information on how to combine these products with the others in our range, or for a more specific nutrition plan, see the complete nutrition plan technical sheet.
Pruning: It has slow growth and its leaves remain beautiful for a long time; new shoots should be controlled as soon as they reach the desired size to obtain "compact" plants.
For pruning tips, see the pruning and defoliation technical sheet.
