From Japanese origin, this variety was discovered in the area of Mount Fuji by what is also known as "Fuji Cherri", the translation of Kojo-No-Mai, means "Bobolet Flight"
It is one of the many Sakura (Japanese cherry trees) that result very well in Bonsai, being greatly appreciated by the dark green leaf of medium size, its flower, and the branches in Zig Zag.
The flowering occurs in the spring before the leaves appear and is of a pinkish white tone.
Prunus Kojo-No-Mai Bonsai is an outdoor plant.

Location: Outside where you catch 3 to 4 hours of direct sun per day (ideal in the morning or at the end of the day), protected from strong winds and frosts even if it resists well cold.
Water: To water abundantly the earth until a lot of water goes out through the drain holes in order to moisten evenly the soil, always above never by immersion, with a fine drain waterer.
Tips on watering, see technical data collection.
Let dry slightly the surface layer of the soil between each watering (to confirm if the plant already needs water, touch the earth with the fingers).
If you have a dish under Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent the roots from rotting).
There is no advantage in spraying the leaves, just do it in the days when it adds up and if the fertilizer goes for foliar application, but ensure that they arrive dry at night to avoid fungi.
Nutrition: From February to September/October, with a base plan composed of a complete fertilizer (Fertil Bonsai Humic, or Green & Gold Bonsai Organic or Biogold), and a biostimulant (Bio Bonsai Activ), can still be linked with other products in our range.
