Styles / Pruning / Training: Pruning the branches can be done at any time of the year. You should pinch out the new shoots when they appear in undesirable places. You can wire the new growth on a Fukien Tea bonsai, being careful not to damage the tree and keep an eye on the wire to be sure the tree does not grow into it. Use the proper size wire for the branch. You can also use the pinch and grow method to train your tree.
Light / Water requirements: Do not water your tree in the mid-day sun when his roots can be hot and the water too cold. This can also shock your plant. Your Fukien Tea prefers humidity and needs water, new leaves will turn yellow if he is receiving too much water.
Propagation: Cuttings, seeds and air layering are all very successful.
Repotting Special Instructions: If your Fukien Tea was recently repotted. It is advised to repot again every 2 to 3 years. You should also trim the roots back. He can be repotted in the same pot. Your Fujian Tea should be potted in a quick draining premium potting mix, or you can invest in a good bonsai soil, the choice is up to your personal preference. Make sure your pot drains well.
Insects and Diseases:  Aphids can be a problem along with some fungi. We recommend using an organic insecticidal soap as they can be sensitive to harsh chemicals.
Temperature Requirements: Don't leave your Fukien Tea outside in weather below 60 degrees. Fukien Tea's prefer tropical weather, a humidity tray is recommended for indoor bonsai.
