1. Light Requirements

Yellowing leaves: Often a sign of overwatering.
Drooping/wrinkled trunk: Often a sign of underwatering.
3. Temperature & Humidity
Note: This is a tropical tree that cannot tolerate cold.
Precaution: Keep it away from drafts, air conditioning vents, and heaters. Maintain a temperature above 15°C (59°F) .
Humidity: It loves humidity. If your home is dry, mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a pebble tray with water to increase humidity.
4. Soil and Repotting
Note: It requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
Precaution: Use a standard potting mix mixed with perlite or a specific bonsai soil mix.
Repotting: Repot young trees every 1-2 years in spring. Mature trees can be repotted every 3-4 years. When repotting, you can prune the roots slightly to manage growth.
5. Pruning and Shaping
Note: The sap is milky and can irritate skin.
Precaution: Always wear gloves when pruning to avoid skin irritation from the sticky latex sap.
Timing: Prune in spring or summer to maintain shape. Cut just above a leaf node (where the leaf meets the stem) to encourage bushier growth.
6. Fertilizing
Note: During the growing season, it is a heavy feeder.
Precaution: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength every two weeks during spring and summer. Do not fertilize in winter or immediately after repotting.

Note: Common pests include scale, spider mites, and mealybugs.
