Tilia cordata - B4954

Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Direct sunlight promotes vigorous growth and smaller leaves, ideal for bonsai aesthetics.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, avoiding both waterlogging and excessive dryness. During hot days, daily watering may be required.

Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Occasional misting helps maintain healthy foliage, especially in dry environments.

Pruning: Can be pruned several times during the growing season to control size and encourage fine branching. Structural pruning should be done in late winter before bud burst.

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

Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining and airy substrate.

Flowering and Fruiting: Produces small, fragrant yellow flowers in summer, which attract bees. The round fruits are inconspicuous, but the flowering period adds ornamental interest.
