In their natural habitat cedar trees cedrus can grow over 50 feet tall.

Cedar of lebanon bonsai care. I just order this young cedar of lebanon in the mail see attachment. In wintertime protect the tree from freezing temperatures. In terms of potting i am hoping to get some help. 1 place the tree outdoors in a spot that receives full sun or at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

The cedar prefers sun lots of it. Lebanon cedar cedrus libani and cyprus cedar are two varieties that work exceptionally well for forming into bonsai specimens. The cedar bonsai tree may be grown indoors or outdoors but great care should be exercised with the amount of sunlight it receives. Water cedar bonsai trees only when the soil is nearly dry but not entirely dry.

With proper care a cedar of lebanon bonsai lives many years. The ideal location provides. The true ceders and the bald cypress taxodium are good growers for intriqued by bonsai the others not so much the cool nursery he went to imports lots of nice conifers from all parts north and hopes to sell them off by summer because thats when they begin their decline. Should i just drop it in a larger clay pot and let it grow for a year with some loam peat and sand or prune the roots and move it to a bonsai pot sooner.

Although they are often large specimens in nature cedars make suitable varieties for growing and training as bonsai trees. Be careful not to overwater as the cedar prefers slightly dry conditions. Do not let your cedar bonsai suffer from overwatering.
