Wrightia Religiosa Bonsai Plant

Wrightia religiosa, commonly known as Water Jasmine or Sacred Buddhist plant, is a tropical shrub or small tree that is widely cultivated as a bonsai due to its delicate foliage, fragrant flowers, and graceful branching structure.

Leaves: Small, lance-shaped, glossy green leaves that create a dense canopy, making it ideal for bonsai styling.

Flowers: Elegant, white, pendulous flowers with a mild, sweet fragrance, blooming throughout the year in warm climates.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In tropical climates, it thrives with bright, indirect light.

Watering: Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging, as the roots are sensitive to excess moisture.

Soil: Well-draining bonsai soil mix, rich in organic matter.

Pruning: Regular trimming helps maintain shape and encourages dense growth. Pruning after flowering promotes new buds.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Repotting: Every 1-2 years to refresh soil and prevent root-bound conditions.
