You will need to care for your tree once it reaches its ideal size. You must fertilize your tree regularly to ensure it grows properly. In the beginning, only a few waterings per week are necessary. For fully grown trees, you can fertilize every other week. You can either use an organic or a mineral fertilizer. Both contain low levels nitrogen and are less likely the smell to be a problem in the house. If you want, you can wire bonsai branches.
