Care and cultivation
Position
In areas with a Mediterranean climate, Duranta Repens can live outdoors during the summer months; for the rest of the year, it should be protected from the cold and kept in a bright environment sheltered from low temperatures. In colder areas, it is preferable to keep it indoors all year round in a very bright position.
Watering
Duranta does not like water stagnation. Allow the surface layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. It is better to water less but regularly, avoiding excesses that could damage the roots.
Curiosity: a bonsai that attracts life
Duranta Repens is one of the few bonsais capable of creating a small ecosystem around itself: its fragrant purple flowers attract butterflies, while the vibrant golden-yellow berries are a food source for birds. A bonsai that brings life, movement, and fragrance to any space.
