It stands as an understated narrator of the seasons for bonsai enthusiasts. 【Plant Characteristics】 - Cultivation Difficulty: Easy to cultivate, suitable for beginners and intermediate bonsai lovers. - Pruning & Care: Defoliation can be performed annually between June and July. This process encourages the sprouting of new buds, leading to denser bud development and facilitating subsequent branch styling. - Ornamental Value: Notable seasonal changes in leaf color. Autumn buds are a vibrant orange-red, evoking a strong autumnal atmosphere. 【Care Essentials】 [Sunlight] Spring & Autumn: Recommended for cultivation in partial shade or bright, indirect light. Summer: Avoid strong, direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorch or drying. Relocate to a cooler spot or use shade cloths/curtains for protection. [Watering] Water thoroughly once the surface of the growing medium begins to feel dry. During the high temperatures of summer, when moisture evaporates quickly, pay close attention to prevent the plant from drying out. [Repotting & Medium Management] Vigorous growth suggests repotting every 1-2 years. The optimal time for repotting is early spring. After repotting, protect the plant from cold winds and temperatures to maintain its vitality. [Fertilizing Recommendations] Fertilizing Period: Mid-March to the end of June. If the growing medium was recently replaced, it is advisable to wait at least one month for the plant to stabilize and adapt before fertilizing to prevent root burn.
