Location: There are more than 100 species and many varieties of Cotoneaster. It is used in gardening for the formation of hedges and shrubs because of its good response to pruning, rusticity and the exuberance of its flowers and fruits of different colours, depending on the species.
Watering: Abundant in summer, moderate in winter.
Curiosities: In the Mediterranean climate, it can be placed outdoors all year round. In colder areas, it should be protected from frost.

Fertilising
Spring to autumn. With Hiryo Gold organo mineral fertiliser or a fast-acting fertiliser such as Nutribonsai. Not during flowering.
Transplanting
Every two years, at the beginning of spring. Afterwards, it is recommended to water with Mistral Bonsai's Vitabonsai invigorator to speed up the tree's recovery.
Substrate
Terrabonsai. Special soil for bonsai, that will satisfy its needs of water and nutrients, stimulating the development of roots and its vigour in general. Other substrates can also be used, such as a mixture of 60% Kiryuzuna + 40% Akadama, which promotes growth, although it will require more frequent watering.
Pruning
At the beginning of spring flowering.
Pinning
Cutting at 2 leaves, when the shoot has 6 to 8 leaves.
Wiring
It can be done all year round.
