Carmona Microphylla Bonsai

Position your bonsai with good daylight but avoid very hot positions in mid-Summer as this can scorch the leaves.

Watering is important when growing bonsai. Touch the soil surface and if the soil is barely damp to the touch please soak the soil. The best way for watering is from the bottom up method. Although not essential, misting the leaves of indoor bonsai helps maintain the humidity. This is actually more important during Winter months, when the air is dried out by the central heating. Misting should be in addition to checking the soil for water.

This variety of bonsai is easy to care for, but does not like cold or draughty environments. It prefers a warm position in the home or in an office and likes an even temperature without huge fluctuations. A warm living room or kitchen is ideal.
