Thumbs up 10 Tips for bringing Your Carmona through the winter

Hello BuckyO,


  1. Place Fukien Tea very brightly, room temperature: 15°C (59°F) or higher
  2. Use clean, room warm rain water
  3. Slack the soil after watering, check that there´s no water in the trivet after watering
  4. Wait for next watering till the survace of soil is dry (2...3 days in winter)
  5. Mist the tree each morning and evening with rain water (not directly, always spray in the air above Your Bonsai)
  6. Put a tray (40 x 40 cm) with HYDROTON clay pebbles & filled 5mm with water (I use easygreen)
  7. Use 2 flat evaporators, surface area each 48 x 31 cm (I use BENTA, capacity each: 1,8 liter)
  8. Check Your humidity with a good hygrometer: min. 60%
  9. Do not fertilize in winter
  10. Check each day for spider mites and other pest
