Beautiful Buddhist Pine Placement

The Buddhist pine can be indoors all year round as it is a tropical species. If you prefer, you can place it outside in summer but do not expose to temperatures lower than 7-13 °C. 

Beautiful Buddhist Pine Watering and feeding

They must be watered generously as soon as the top inch of soil gets dry. Do not let the soil dry out fully and avoid constant wetness. See our watering guide.
Only feed periodically during the growing season (March-Oct). 

Beautiful Buddhist Pine Pruning and wiring

Regular trimming of your Buddhist pine will help your tree grow a thicker trunk, encourage back budding and keep it miniature. Trim and pinch back new growth, which you can identify by its lighter green colour, throughout the year and whenever needed.
A young Buddhist pine can be easily wired as its branches bend very well and you can do this any time of the year. 

Beautiful Buddhist Pine Repotting

Repot in early spring with a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
