    Native to Japan, Malus floribunda, known as Japanese Flowering Crabapple, is a deciduous tree highly valued in bonsai for its abundant flowering, small leaves, and ornamental fruits. Flowers bloom in shades of pink to white in late spring, creating a striking visual effect.

    Quantity

    Sunlight: Prefers full sun to encourage abundant flowering. Can tolerate partial shade, but flowering will be less prolific.

    Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter during dormancy.

    Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Occasional foliar misting can be done, especially in dry climates.

    Pruning: Can be pruned after flowering to remove unwanted branches, maintain shape, and encourage fine branching. Structural pruning should be done in late winter.

    Fertilization: Feed from spring to early autumn with a balanced fertiliser, reducing feeding in late summer to prepare the tree for winter dormancy.

    Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in early spring, using a well-draining substrate (akadama, pumice, and sand mix).

    Flowering and Fruiting: Produces small, abundant flowers in spring, followed by small decorative fruits. The main ornamental value lies in the exuberant flowering and compact tree shape.
