It can spend the warm months outside, but does not tolerate temperatures below 12°C.
Watering : Water the soil abundantly until plenty of water comes out of the drainage holes, to moisten the soil evenly, always from above, never by immersion, using a watering can with fine spouts.
Tips on watering, see the watering technical sheet.
Let the surface layer of the soil 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 avoid root rot).
