| Exposure | It is usually good to grow it in partial shade thus avoiding leaf desiccation and a thinning of the bark as it seeks coolness and humidity. With high temperatures it is advisable to place it in the north in a cool place. The only exception is spring: in this period the bonsai should be placed in a sunny position making it grow more vigorously and producing more abundant and smaller leaves. In winter, place the pot in a sheltered area to avoid excessive cold. |
