Myrtle bonsai care
This is a living Myrtle (Myrtus communis). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoors in warm months; protect from frost: overwinter indoors/greenhouse in cold climates
- Light
- Full sun to partial shade; 6+ hours of sun for best flowering and compact growth
- Water
- EVENLY MOIST: keep the rootball moist, never let it dry out, but avoid waterlogging; leans wet-side
- USDA zones
- 8 to 11 (tender; not frost-hardy)
- #1 cause of death
- Letting the rootball dry out (drying out kills it quickly), plus winter losses from cold and dry indoor air
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Myrtle bonsai care guide.
