Light Preference
Full Sun: Prefers at least 6-8 hours of sunlight, with 0-30% shade.
Water Preference
Moderate Water: Prefers soil to be slightly damp or moist, and allowed to dry out slightly between water sessions. Frequent watering, sometimes once or twice daily, is usually needed.
Soil Requirements
Any well drained but moisture retentive bonsai soil should work. The plants prefer a moist soil mix, and will die if allowed to dry out completely. On repotting make sure to keep the roots moist or the plants will suffer. Drooping and dull colored leaves are present if the plant gets a bit dry. If allowed to get completely dry, it may die.
Fertilizer Needs
When the plant is actively growing fertilize at weekly intervals with normal strength fertilizer solutions.
