Bonsai Growing Guide

• Light: Place your bonsai in bright, indirect sunlight. Most species thrive on a sunny windowsill but avoid harsh midday sun.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between watering sessions.
• Soil: Use free-draining bonsai compost or a mix of loam, sand, and peat. Most species prefer neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0).
• Temperature & Hardiness: Suitable for indoor conditions year-round; protect from frost and drafts.

Caring for Your Bonsai

• Pruning: Trim new shoots regularly to maintain shape and encourage dense foliage. Prune roots during repotting every 2–3 years in early spring.
• Feeding: Apply balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).

Bonsai Display & Companion Ideas

• Create striking displays by grouping bonsai with ferns or mosses that enjoy similar humidity levels.
• Add decorative stones or miniature figurines to enhance your indoor Zen garden effect.
