Diospyros cathayensis is believed to symbolize wealth, good fortune, and numerous offspring, thus winning wide favor. When it comes to its maintenance, as it thrives in sunlight, it should be placed in a well – lit area. However, it requires shading in summer. Watering should follow the principle of “watering when the soil is dry and stopping when it’s wet” to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Fertilization should be carried out once a month during the growing season, mainly with dilute fertilizers. Pruning is best done during the dormant period to create an ideal shape. Only with such meticulous care can the Diospyros cathayensis bonsai flourish with lush branches and abundant fruits, exuding its unique charm for a long time.
