This variability will make this bonsai attractive during many times of the year.

Its minimum temperature is between 10 x 15 º C, but the ideal temperature is 25 º to 30 º C, so it is ideal for tropical climates. It does not withstand cold climates and for that reason it should be located inside the house

If it is kept in hot areas, it is better to have it in a shady area, with lots of light.

MAINTENANCE OF THE BONSAI

Irrigation: You need the irrigations to be more frequent and more abundant. In winter we can reduce the water supply a lot. As a good tropical plant it is used to atmospheric humidity environments, so it will only be vaporized with water from time to time.
Subscriber: We will pay from spring to autumn. The suitable compost can be of organic or chemical type. We recommend organic fertilizer. We recommend that it would be better to use liquid fertilizers so as not to overwater and thus not burn leaves and not harm yourself.
Transplantation: The transplant would be every 2 or 3 years and always at the beginning of Spring. We must eliminate all the parts that are dead or damaged Replace the substrate with a new one, we will use a rooting and thus a better reaction. We recommend that the substrate be with 20% volcanic gravel.
Pruning: It can be done practically throughout the year if we have it in good temperature conditions. The wiring can also be done throughout the year. 2 or 3 leaves will be pruned when the branch has about 8 units.
Diseases: You can have whitefly, mealybug, aphid, spider mite pests. As for fungi, the most common is the appearance of some rot fungus due to excess watering. We will treat with specific systemic fungicides for root diseases.
