Bonsai Tree Care tips for Beginners

Like any living gift, your bonsai will love a little care and attention. Don’t worry they're is one of the easiest bonsai varieties to look after, making it ideal for beginners.

Finding the Perfect Spot

Your bonsai will be happiest somewhere bright with plenty of natural light.

A windowsill near an east, west, or south-facing window is ideal
Avoid harsh direct midday sun through glass, as this can scorch the delicate leaves
Your bonsai can happily live indoors all year round
During warmer months, it can enjoy some time outside once the risk of frost has passed

Watering Your Bonsai

Your bonsai likes its soil to stay lightly moist.

Check the soil regularly and water when the top layer feels slightly dry
Water thoroughly until excess water drains from the bottom of the pot
Avoid allowing the pot to sit in standing water

A little regular attention will help keep your bonsai looking healthy and full of life.

Feeding & Keeping It Healthy

During spring and summer, when your bonsai is actively growing, use a specialist bonsai liquid fertiliser to encourage strong foliage and continued growth.

A little feed every week or two during the growing season will help your tree thrive.

Maintaining Its Shape

The beautiful shape of your bonsai has been carefully trained over time, but occasional trimming will help maintain its compact appearance.

Trim back new shoots as they grow to encourage a neat, balanced shape and keep your miniature tree looking its best.
