The Dwarf Jade features small, round, fleshy leaves. Enjoy your mini bonsai masterpiece on a desk, table, or windowsill for a unique accent to your indoor space or acclimate your plant outdoors as a conversation piece for your garden.

Bonsai take weeks to acclimate and may shed 20% of the foliage. Place your Bonsai in sunny areas near southeast or west-facing windows. They flourish outdoors on the patio/deck with morning sun and afternoon shade. Bring your Bonsai back indoors when night temps fall below 55 degrees.

Water Water every 2-3 days. Use ice cubes or a watering can with a fine spray nozzle to water.

Temperature Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.

Fertilizer Fertilize with water-soluble or time-release fertilizers. Inspect regularly for insects and diseases.
