I have two shohin hokkaidos. One is thriving and one is on the edge. I have had them in afternoon shade for a month or so. One thing I have noticed is they send out little buds all over the trunk....I am constantly pinching them off with tweezers so they don't develop into unwanted branches. I have them in some tall pots right now, and plan to repot them into a more appropriate container in the spring;

My bonsai teacher, Anne Spencer said that she had problems with hers, when they started acting up, she would stick them in the ground for a season or two and they would perk up again....
