Native to Southwest China, it belongs to the Boraginaceae family. A small, slow-growing tree with evergreen leaves that are much appreciated for their lush green colour. It bears a white flower that can be followed by a fruit. There are 2 varieties: large-leaf (Macrophyla) and small-leaf (Microphyla); the latter fruits more easily.<\/p>\n
Scientific name<\/strong>: Ehretia buxifolia<\/em> CARE Watering<\/strong>: Water the soil thoroughly until water flows freely from the drainage holes, moistening the soil evenly\u2014always from above, never by immersion, using a fine-rose watering can (specific for Bonsai). Allow the top layer of soil to dry well between waterings. To check if the plant needs water, touch the soil with your fingers. This Bonsai doesn’t require much water and is sensitive to root fungi if overwatered and\/or lacking light. If you have a tray under the Bonsai, never leave standing water (to prevent root rot).<\/p>\n Nutrition<\/strong>: From Feb to Nov, fertilize with a base plan consisting of a complete fertilizer and a biostimulant; it can also be combined with other products.<\/p>\n Pruning<\/strong>: This Bonsai has slow growth and its leaves stay beautiful for a long time, so you should control new shoots as soon as they reach the desired size to maintain a compact look.<\/p>\n Repotting<\/strong>: Use Deciduous Bonsai Soil from Apr to May, with pruning and\/or partial defoliation.<\/p>\n Wiring<\/strong>: Unusual, can be done year-round, but be careful as the plant is very brittle.<\/p>\n WARNING! Representative photograph – the image shown is of a specimen in stock at the time the product was added to the online catalog, so it is a reference. The Bonsai supplied will be similar to the photograph*<\/strong> however, depending on the stage of the growth cycle it’s in, it may vary in shape, appearance or size (e.g. different leaf tone, with more\/less foliage, with or without flower\/fruit, etc). The ceramic pot seen in the photograph is included in the indicated cost and approximate height.<\/p>\n *All bonsais are shipped in the box seen in the photograph<\/strong>, which is closed (to protect the plant during transport), but the front opening is simple as there’s a perforation that allows the “window” to be opened, as shown in the image. The ribbon is only sent during festive seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Native to Southwest China, it belongs to the Boraginaceae family.
