- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 30+ years
- Size
- 20-80cm
- Light & Placement
- Prefers full sun. With ample light the small compound leaves grow densely, producing a compact, bonsai-like form.
- Watering
- In the growing season, water thoroughly once the soil dries. Ensure good aeration so water never stagnates in the pot.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- It has some cold tolerance, but in a Japanese winter indoor management is safer. After leaf drop, keep it nearly dry until spring.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use an airy, ultra-fast-draining mix. For an exposed-root style that shows off the thick roots, raise the roots a little more at each repotting.
- Pruning & Shaping
- It branches finely, so overlong shoots can be cut back in the growing season for a bonsai-style form. Growth is slow, so avoid cutting too much at once.
