Production of French Bonsai
Dehors toute l'année, placez-le dans une zone d'alternance d'ombre et de soleil, à l'abri des vents froids ou desséchants. Le bambou sacré convient à tous les climats grâce à sa rusticité. Si le climat est trop venteux ou trop froid en dessous de -12°C, protégez-le, en enveloppant le pot avec un voile d'hivernage ou laine de verre pour protéger ses racines du gel.

Its name Nandina is a corruption of its Japanese name: nanten. The name "sacred bamboo" is reminiscent of the Eastern tradition that these shrubs were planted around temples.
A bonsai with bamboo leaves
The Nandina or sacred bamboo is a tree with an erect habit, light and tall foliage. Its stiff stems are reminiscent of those of bamboo, they bear leaves with irregular, oval leaflets. The foliage is reddish when young, turning dark green in the summer and turning purple again in the fall.
This bonsai blooms in the summer, but this bloom goes unnoticed. Its uninteresting white bunches, 20-30cm long, give rise to bunches of red berries in autumn, pendulous and very decorative.
Exhibition
Outside all year round. Find a spot in full sun or partial shade, sheltered from cold or drying winds.
