Know before you buy
Yes, this is an excellent choice for beginners. Its succulent nature makes it much more forgiving than traditional bonsai varieties, as it requires less frequent watering and minimal pruning.
The Jade Bonsai prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window where it can receive plenty of natural light without being scorched by direct, harsh sun is ideal.
Because the leaves store water, you should allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so check the soil moisture before adding more water.
No, the container does not have drainage holes. Since the plant is paired with a humidity tray and decorative rocks, be careful not to overwater to prevent water from pooling at the base of the roots.
The container color is selected at random and can range from blue to green. While you cannot specify a color, both options are designed to complement the natural aesthetic of the Jade Bonsai.
