- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10-30 years
- Size
- 10cm-1m (potted)
- Temperature
- 10〜40℃
- Light & Placement
- Give it full direct sun during the spring-to-summer growing season. Without enough light the trunk stays weak and stretches, so keep it in a sunny spot outdoors.
- Watering
- Plenty during growing season. Complete drought in winter
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Keep between 10 and 40°C, never letting it drop below 10°C. In Japan, indoor management in winter is the norm.
- Dormancy Care
- As temperatures fall in winter it drops its leaves and goes dormant. Withhold water or give only a tiny amount, and resume watering once new growth appears in spring.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a very fast-draining mix with plenty of pumice. Growth is very slow, so repot in the growing season only once the roots have filled the pot.
- Notes
- Growing from seed is popular. Seed freshness matters
