Cultivation Advice

Location : In its natural habitat, this is a very vigorous-growing seaside tree. It should be placed outdoors in full sun. It is one of the trees that requires the most sunlight.

Watering : Watering should be controlled and moderate. Allow the root ball to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid excess moisture. The length of the needles will also depend on your ability to manage watering. Their reduction is a combination of several factors, including reducing watering as they develop. Also protect the Japanese black pine from rain during the candle development period.

Substrate and repotting : In spring, just after the buds begin to swell. Choose a well-draining substrate that will prevent stagnant moisture around the roots. Repot every 3 years for young black pines, then space them out as they mature and become denser.

Pruning : Always leave needles and buds on a branch you are trimming, otherwise it will dry out. Pinch off the buds in spring to balance the forces and reduce the size of the needles.

Ligature : During winter and early spring to avoid damaging the buds and candles. Black pine has fairly flexible wood that is easy to wire and allows for fairly free shaping.

Fertilization : For a mature bonsai, only fertilize from summer onward to avoid large needles. For a developing black pine that you want to thicken or thicken, begin fertilizing from late spring.
