Native to China, the Ginkgo biloba is a unique species — a true living fossil and a symbol of longevity. Its fan-shaped leaves make it stand out in the bonsai world, offering timeless elegance and simplicity. In autumn, the Ginkgo turns into a golden spectacle, with leaves that seem to capture sunlight before gently falling, marking the quiet rhythm of the seasons.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Direct sunlight enhances the brilliant golden color of its autumn foliage.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid extended dry periods, especially during active growth.
Humidity: Adapts well to moderate humidity levels. Avoid excessively dry or overly humid environments.
Pruning: Prune after spring growth to maintain the desired shape. Ginkgo tends to grow vertically, so pruning helps create a balanced structure.
Fertilization: Fertilize during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer for deciduous species. Reduce feeding in autumn and avoid during winter.
Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring before new leaves appear, using a well-draining soil mix.
Flowering: The beauty of Ginkgo biloba lies in its graceful simplicity and in the golden transformation of its leaves — a symbol of endurance, balance, and timeless elegance.
