Bonsai trees require careful attention to thrive. They prefer well-draining soil, which should be kept slightly moist but never soggy. Watering should be done when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Bonsai benefit from regular pruning to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth; this can be done during the growing season.

Place your bonsai in a location with plenty of indirect sunlight, as too much direct light can scorch the leaves. Fertilisation is essential, especially during the growing season, using a balanced fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Be mindful of pests and diseases, and inspect your bonsai regularly. Finally, when re-potting, do so every couple of years, ensuring the roots have space to grow.
