Placement:
The mandarin tree is a semi-tropical species and it is best to keep it indoors in temperate climates. You can move it outside in summer when it is warm, but note that the mandarin does not tolerate big drops in temperature well, and ensure that it is protected from the wind.
Watering and feeding:
They must be watered generously as soon as the top inch of soil gets dry. Do not let the soil dry out fully and avoid constant wetness. See our watering guide.
Only feed periodically during the growing season (March-Oct).
Pruning and wiring:
Pinch out and trim new growth to maintain the appearance of the tree. The spring and summer growing season is the best time to do this.
The Chinese privet is best wired in spring and summer when the branches are more supple and pliable but you can do it anytime of the year.
Repotting:
Repot in early spring with a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
