Position & light
Choose a very bright position with good airflow. A bright indoor space or frost-free conservatory is the cautious choice in colder weather. A sheltered outdoor position can be used in settled warm conditions after gradual acclimatisation.
Watering
Water thoroughly when the upper soil layer begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain. Check the soil rather than following a fixed watering timetable.
Feeding & pruning
Feed moderately during active growth, following the fertiliser instructions. Trim extending shoots gently to preserve the canopy, and avoid substantial root or branch work while the tree is settling in.
Winter care
Keep frost-free with plenty of light, away from drying heaters and cold draughts. Adapt watering to slower growth and the conditions where the tree is kept.

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.
