Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: 'Japanese White Pine' bonsai thrives in temperate climates, requiring protection from extreme temperatures. It flourishes in well-ventilated areas with ample sunlight.

Sun Exposure: Position your bonsai in a sunny spot, ensuring it receives sufficient sunlight daily while shielding it from intense midday sun.
