Although the berries are not suitable for human consumption, they provide valuable nourishment for birds during the winter months, turning the bonsai into a small, living ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it outdoors in full sunlight or partial shade. Good sun exposure promotes abundant flowering and berry production. It tolerates winter cold well, as well as brief frosts, but should be protected from very harsh, prolonged temperatures below -5°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular and moderate: water generously in summer during active growth, and reduce watering in winter. Avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

Proceed carefully to avoid damaging the fine roots. After repotting, watering with Mistral Bonsai’s \u003cem\u003eVitabonsai\u003c\/em\u003e revitalizer is recommended to speed up the plant’s recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubstrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerrabonsai – a special bonsai substrate that meets the plant’s water and nutritional needs, promoting root development and overall vigor. Alternatively: 60% Akadama + 40% Kiryuzuna, which provides excellent drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePruning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter flowering, between June and July, to preserve the buds that will produce the autumn berries. A second light pruning can be carried out in late winter to maintain the structural shape.
