Barbados Cherry bonsai care

This is a living Barbados Cherry (Malpighia glabra). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoors through the warm season; must come in before nights reach 45°F (7°C)
Light: Full sun: 6 to 8 hours direct. A south window plus a grow light indoors
Water: Let the surface dry slightly, then water thoroughly. Never bone-dry, never soggy
USDA zones: 10 to 11 outdoors year-round; indoor or greenhouse everywhere else
#1 cause of death: Cold: left outdoors too far into autumn. It is sold as an "indoor bonsai", which makes owners worry about light and forget about temperature

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Barbados Cherry bonsai care guide.
