A Chamaecyparis obtusa (false cypress) bonsai, an evergreen conifer, prized for its slow growth, hardiness and the sculptural beauty of its dense, orderly branches. In spring, its leaves are a bright light green, turning to a deep green in summer and remaining dark green throughout autumn and winter. Grown in an unglazed terracotta pot, it showcases the structure and rich colours of its foliage.
Grow your bonsai outdoors all year round, taking care to place it in a sheltered spot during the colder months and in partial shade during the warmer months.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water thoroughly. Then wait for the soil to dry out before watering again in the same way.
