I just unboxed this guy today (hence the folded leaves in the photo, but he appears to be bouncing back nicely). As with all of my acquirements, he’s in “quarantine” right now, and then will be going in the greenhouse after a slip pot into boon mix once he recovers from shipping. I can’t find much information on how to care for these guys. Lots of info on how to germinate seeds, and lots of comments on this site from people saying not to bonsai it because it doesn’t branch well. This guy looks to be branching ok though. And I want to try and give it a go. Does anyone have any experience with these past the point of seedlings? Water requirements, is there die back, fertilizer amount, etc.
