Durantha repens. Bonsai 16 years. Duranta or Geisha Girl. The so-called indoor trees are mostly trees from tropical origins, that do not support low temperatures. We must place them indoors, always close to a source of natural light. Evergreen tree.
Location: In areas with a Mediterranean climate, it can live outdoors during the summer, and during winter it must be protected from the cold. In colder areas, it should be kept the whole year inside a greenhouse.
Watering: It is necessary to let the surface layer of the substrate dry slightly between two watering. It doesn’t tolerate well the excess of water.
Curiosities: It is a very decorative bonsai for its flowering and its fruits, also of great interest for its fragrance. Moreover, the flowers attract butterflies, and birds will enjoy eating its attractive golden yellow berries.

Fertilisation

Repotting
In early spring, every 3 or 4 years. Afterwards, it is recommended to water with Mistral Bonsai's Vitabonsai invigorator to help the tree's recovery.
Soil
Terrabonsai. Special soil for bonsai. It will satisfy the water and nutrient needs, enhancing the root development and general vigour. Other substrates can also be used, like a mixture of 70% Akadama + 30% Kiryuzuna, which promotes growth, although it will require more frequent watering.
Pruning
.Late winter.
Pinching
.Throughout the growing season to densify the canopy and achieve a denser flowering.
Wiring
