| The success of your bonsai depends on a variety of factors, most notably watering and light. Below are some species specific guidelines to follow that will help ensure that your bonsai will stay healthy and happy. | |
 | Pruning Tips: When pruning, prune back to 2-4 leaves after 6-10 leaves have grown to maintain their shape. Lignified or woody branches will produce new buds. |
 | Fertilizing: We recommend fertilizing your bonsai tree every month with a bonsai fertilizer. Time-release granules are the easiest to use and can be added every season. Reduce the amount of fertilizer during the winter. |
 | Lighting: The Osmanthus will grow best in partial shade settings. We recommend filtered natural sunlight. |
 | Temperature Requirements: The Osmanthus Bonsai can quickly adapt to a variety of locations. |
 | Watering Requirements: Water moderately, keeping the tree moist at all times. The Osmanthus does not enjoy remaining dry for long periods of time. |
 | Repotting: The Osmanthus may be repotted throughout most of the year, although the best times for repotting are in the spring. After repotting, water thoroughly and keep the plant in a shady location for several weeks so that new roots may grow. The Osmanthus is adaptable to a variety of soil and moisture conditions. |
 | Indoor / Outdoor: The Osmanthus thrives best in outdoor conditions. During the winter, trees can be overwintered to protect them from freezing. |
