If you want to make your own elephant bush, here are a few tips that you can follow:
First of all, make sure that the location of your tree is bright, but not overly bright. The best place for your tree to grow is a window that gets bright but filtered sunlight. The plant will not thrive if it’s too shady. In general, an elephant bush will need at least eight hours of direct sunlight a day. If you’re planning to grow your bonsai outdoors, make sure that the location isn’t too shady.
If you’d like to grow an Elephant Bush as a bonsai outside your house, you’ll need to provide it with lots of indirect sunlight. In order for your plant to grow healthy, it needs six to eight hours of light. If the area is sunny and moist, the cutting will take root within four to five weeks. In a cold climate, it’s best to keep the tree in partial shade.
