Bonsai Pseudolarix Amabilis

Pseudolarix amabilis – Golden Larch Bonsai 🌿🌾

The Golden Larch (Pseudolarix amabilis) is a rare and graceful deciduous conifer, prized in bonsai for its delicate, feathery foliage that turns a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn before dropping for winter. With its naturally architectural shape and slow-growing nature, it makes an elegant and rewarding bonsai that changes with the seasons.

Key Features:

✔ Soft, bright green needles that turn gold in autumn
✔ Beautiful seasonal character – one of the few deciduous conifers
✔ Develops a gnarled trunk and fine branches with age
✔ Ideal for formal upright or informal bonsai styles
✔ A collector’s favourite for texture and subtle colour

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers full sun for strong growth and autumn colour

• Watering: Keep evenly moist – do not let dry out, especially in summer

• Humidity: Appreciates outdoor air – best grown outside year-round

• Soil: Use a free-draining bonsai soil mix

• Feeding: Feed every 2–3 weeks in spring/summer with a mild bonsai fertiliser

• Pruning: Prune new growth in spring and structure in late autumn

• Winter: Fully hardy – protect roots in very cold winters if in small pots
