How to care for it

The kinzu wants direct sun from March to October and a substrate that never dries out completely: with a pot only 8.5 cm deep, in high summer watering becomes a daily task and should be checked twice a day on windy days. Below 3-4 °C we recommend moving it into a cold greenhouse or bright conservatory, since like all citrus it suffers from frost.

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive exactly the plant in the photograph?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the photo shows the very plant that will be packed and sent. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different due to growth, maintenance pruning and pinching, or the normal change of season.

Is the pot included in the price?

The bonsai arrives already planted in the rectangular ivory glazed stoneware pot measuring 19 x 15 x h. 8.5 cm that you see in the image. No repotting is needed on arrival. The combined weight of plant, pot and substrate is 1.9 kg.

How much space does it need and where should it be kept?

At 33 cm tall and with a pot base of 19 x 15 cm, it takes up little room on a wide windowsill, an outdoor side table or a terrace shelf. The correct placement is outdoors: it is not an indoor bonsai, apart from overwintering in a cool, very bright spot.
