Introduction

About this bonsai
Leaf and flower colour vary with the cultivar and season. The precise variety is unconfirmed, so a particular purple leaf tone or pink bloom colour is not promised. Flowering may not coincide with delivery.

Position & light
Provide bright light, gentle sun and shelter from strong winds. Give some shade in intense summer heat and maintain airflow around the canopy.
Watering
Keep the root ball evenly moist without waterlogging. Water thoroughly as the surface starts to dry and use good drainage. An acidic to neutral growing medium is appropriate; rainwater can be helpful in hard-water areas.
Feeding & pruning
Feed during active growth with a suitable fertiliser and trim after flowering where possible. Avoid repeated heavy pruning that removes potential flowering shoots.
Winter care
Protect from severe frost and cold winds. With cultivar hardiness unconfirmed, a bright, cool, frost-free space is a cautious winter choice for this small-potted tree.

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.
