Small-sized tree, it has as special speciality to be a caduca conifer, the needles yellow in winter and fall completely.

Location: Outside, well exposed to the sun where take 2 to 3 hours of direct sun per day (ideal in the morning or at the end of the day), protected from strong winds and frosts.

At the peak of summer it should be protected from the sun in the strongest hours (a shade mesh is usually enough) to avoid burning the new needles.

Water: To water abundantly the earth until a lot of water goes out through the drain holes in order to moisten evenly the soil, always above never by immersion, with a fine drain waterer.

Tips on watering, see technical data collection.

Let dry the surface layer of the soil between each watering (to confirm if the plant already needs water, touch the earth with the fingers). It consumes water moderately, even if we should have special attention in summer, because with thirst new needles dry quickly.

If you have a dish under Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent the roots from rotting).

There is no advantage in spraying the leaves, just do it in days that it adds and if the fertilizer is specific for foliar application, but ensure that they arrive dry at night to avoid fungi.
