Kinzu Orange
$119.99
Cultivate a miniature citrus orchard indoors with the captivating Kinzu orange bonsai tree. This dwarf orange tree, also known as the Hong Kong kumquat, features glossy green foliage that compliments fragrant white flowers in the spring and vibrant orange fruits in the fall. Even beginners can enjoy the rewarding challenge of caring for this bonsai, as it's known for its tolerance of indoor conditions. Simply place your Kinzu Orange Bonsai in a sunny spot for at least 6 hours a day, water wisely, and mist the leaves regularly to mimic a humid climate.
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.
Watering properly. Watering correctly is critical! Indoor Bonsai should generally be watered every 2-3 days; refer to tag. Use ice cubes or a watering can with a fine-spray nozzle to water; humidity trays can help capture excess water.
Repotting. Repot with good bonsai soil every 4-5 years during late spring/early summer. Bonsai requires periodic trimming to maintain a miniature shape.
Fertilizing. Fertilize with water-soluble or time-released fertilizers, slow-releasing organic for mature bonsai. Inspect regularly for insects and diseases, and treat with products from the garden center.
Disclaimer: This plant typically blooms in springtime. They may get some blooms throughout the summer, but we cannot guarantee the exact time the tree will bloom. This plant may not bloom again until next spring.
