The Japanese Larch bonsai tree (Larix kaempferi) is a beautiful deciduous conifer, highly valued for its soft, bright green needles that emerge in spring and turn a striking golden-yellow before falling in autumn. Unlike evergreen conifers, the Japanese Larch sheds its needles each year, creating a dynamic seasonal display. Its elegant structure and fine branching make it a favourite among bonsai enthusiasts seeking a traditional outdoor tree with character.
This particular tree stands approximately 51cm tall and is elegantly presented in a blue glazed ceramic bonsai pot measuring 19cm depth and 19cm width. Its compact size and graceful shape make it perfect for patios, balconies, or garden displays, adding a calming, natural aesthetic to any outdoor space.

Japanese Larch bonsai must be kept outdoors year-round. Place in a bright location with full sun for optimal growth. This species requires seasonal changes, including a cold winter dormancy period, to remain healthy.
During winter, the tree will lose its needles and enter dormancy. It is fully hardy but should be protected from extreme frost, especially the roots, as bonsai pots can freeze. A cold frame, sheltered spot, or unheated greenhouse is ideal during severe cold spells.
Indoors
Japanese Larch is not suitable for indoor growing. Keeping it indoors will weaken the tree over time due to lack of seasonal conditions and insufficient light.
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size. Japanese Larch prefers consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season, but should never be left waterlogged.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from early spring to late summer using a balanced bonsai fertiliser.
Outdoors – Use Naruko Slow Release Fertiliser, either sprinkled on the soil or placed in fertiliser baskets.
Regular pruning helps maintain shape and encourages fine branching. Trim back new shoots during the growing season to keep the desired structure.
Wiring is best carried out in late autumn or winter when the tree is dormant. This reduces stress and allows you to shape the branches more effectively.

Repot every 2–3 years in early spring, just before new growth appears, using a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
