Care Tips

TEMPERATURE: Being tropical you'll find your buttonwood tree bonsai loves warm feet. Not hard to provide if you live someplace warm like Florida. If you don't you need to turn your thoughts toward using a propagation mat under the plant if you're keeping them indoors. That will help to keep the pot temperature maybe 10-12 degrees above room temperature?
SOIL: Buttonwood bonsai are very tolerant of varying soil conditions. That said, a rich, free-draining slightly acidic mix that retains moisture well is about ideal.

POTS: Pick a pot that will not dry out too quickly in your climate.

PRUNING: Pruning is easy. Cut back shoots leaving no less than two leaves.
