Position & light
Choose a bright, sheltered outdoor position with morning sun or light partial shade. Protect flowers from strong drying winds and harsh afternoon sun.
Watering
Keep the root ball evenly moist without leaving it waterlogged. Check often in warm weather and water before the soil dries out. Rainwater is preferable where tap water is very hard.
Feeding & pruning
Use an appropriate azalea or acid-loving-plant feed at the recommended rate. Shape after flowering, taking care not to remove the next season’s developing buds. Use a suitable acidic bonsai medium when repotting.
Winter care
Protect the small pot from prolonged hard frost and exposed winds. Keep cool rather than in a heated living room, and continue to check moisture during dry winter weather.

Please note:
Trees
- Image shown is of the actual tree you will receive unless stated otherwise in the actual product's description
- The height given is from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.
- The tree received may be slightly different from the picture. Whilst we try to keep the photos of our trees as up to date as possible, these are live plants and, as such, will continue to grow and change slightly in between the times we take the photos.
Pots
- Some of our Bonsai pots are bought in bulk and unfortunately it's impossible to photograph each single item so the photograph used is taken from one random item of each collection we sell. In 99% of cases this means that any differences won't even be noticeable, however, if you have seen a particular image of a pot that has a certain streak of paint in a certain place, bear in mind that the pot you receive may not be 100% identical to this.
