Care and cultivation
Position
Pseudolarix amabilis is an outdoor tree that loves direct sunlight. It should be kept outdoors year-round, where it can benefit from seasonal changes—essential for its growth cycle and spectacular fall color. It tolerates winter cold well, which is necessary for its dormancy.
Watering
Water regularly in spring and summer, reduce watering in fall, and minimize watering in winter during dormancy. The substrate must be well-draining to avoid waterlogging at the roots. Mist the leaves on the hottest, driest summer days.
Curiosity: a larch that is not a larch
Despite its common name, Golden Larch, Pseudolarix amabilis belongs to its own genus—the only species in the genus Pseudolarix . An extremely rare botanical relic that survived the ice ages in the forests of eastern China, it is now considered one of the most valuable and sought-after deciduous conifers in the bonsai world.
