Stewartia monadelpha - B6179

€220.00
VAT included

Native to Japan, Stewartia monadelpha is a refined deciduous species highly valued in bonsai for its natural silhouette, subtle flowering, and especially its ornamental bark, which becomes increasingly attractive with age. The delicate oval leaves provide a light texture during the growing season, turning warm shades of yellow to orange in autumn. Over time, the trunk develops gentle exfoliating bark, adding depth and refinement to the composition.

Quantity

Light: Prefers bright partial shade. Tolerates gentle sun but should be protected from strong direct sunlight, particularly in warm climates.

Watering: Requires regular watering, keeping the substrate evenly moist. Sensitive to prolonged dryness.

Humidity: Thrives in humid environments. Misting is recommended during hot or dry periods.

Pruning: Can be carried out in spring and early summer to control growth and refine structure. Responds best to moderate, gradual pruning.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer during the active growing season. Reduce feeding towards the end of summer.

Repotting: Every 2–3 years, in spring, using a well-drained, slightly acidic substrate.

Flowering: Produces small, white flowers in early summer with subtle ornamental value. The main appeal lies in the structure, decorative bark, and seasonal transitions.
