Native to Japan and Korea, the Pinus thunbergii, or Japanese black pine, is one of the most iconic species in bonsai.

Quantity

Sunlight: Prefers full sun. Direct sunlight maintains vigorous growth and rich needle color.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Prefers well-draining soil with short dry intervals between waterings.

Humidity: Tolerates moderate humidity levels if there is good air circulation. Avoid overly humid environments.

Pruning: Prune and pinch new shoots in spring and summer to control growth and balance foliage density. Responds well to needle thinning techniques.

Fertilization: Fertilize regularly in spring and summer with organic or conifer-specific fertilizer. Reduce in late summer and avoid feeding in winter.

Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining mix such as akadama, pumice, and coarse sand.

Flowering: The beauty of Pinus thunbergii lies in the harmony between its dark trunk and vigorous foliage, symbolizing strength, patience, and the wisdom of time in bonsai.
