Cultivation Advice

Place it outdoors year-round in a spot with alternating sun and shade, sheltered from cold or drying winds. Sacred bamboo is suitable for all climates thanks to its hardiness. If the climate is too windy or too cold (below -12°C), protect it by wrapping the pot with horticultural fleece or fiberglass to protect its roots from frost.

Nandina needs consistently moist soil. Water it regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering. In spring and summer, water regularly; when it's hot, water daily! In winter, however, water according to the soil's condition. Thanks to rain and cold weather, you won't necessarily need to water as frequently since the soil will remain moist. Important: Don't hesitate to water the entire root ball, right down to the roots. The water will drain through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Alternatively, soak the bonsai in water (basining) for a few minutes to ensure it's thoroughly watered. We advise against placing a saucer or container under the pot, as the water will stagnate and can cause root rot. (Too much water = asphyxiation).

Repot every two years, in the fall or spring, using fresh potting soil. Its current substrate is composed of black/blonde peat, bark, topsoil, horse manure, and pumice.

You can perform a light pruning, if necessary, by removing dead wood and shortening any branches that are unbalancing the shape.

In the nursery, we use blue tomato/flower fertilizer NPK 12 12 17. Put a handful (small or large depending on the size of the pot) on the substrate from May until October, every 2 months alternating chemical/organic.
