I’m in west Monroe Louisiana and I’ve had one for 2yrs now.
It blooms non stop. I just had to kill thrips but otherwise, it’s healthy. Mine is getting full sun until about 2pm and then is under the shade cloth. I water it everyday. I repotted mine about a month ago and man I cut the roots back HARD!! Was actually biting my nails a bit but it only yellowed and then dropped maybe a handful of leaves, did not skip a beat.. I keep it on top of a water tray I keep filled with water, the tree doesn’t sit in the water but I have roots pouring out of the drainage holes already doing just fine submerged in the water water. They are growing in the water.
I feed the crap out of it too.. I don’t think they like acidic very much but I may be wrong.. as has been stated, there isn’t a lot of info about their care. But it didn’t seem to like acidic fertilizer.
I keep organic fertilizer in tea bags on top all year long and also hit it probably once or twice a week with a weak liquid fertilizer solution.
In the winter it stays outside here most of the time. As do all of my tropicals.. when I see forecasts below 40 I’ll move them inside and then put them back out in the morning. I don’t have a bunch to move around but we really just don’t get a whole lots of cold here that would kill tropical bonsai.. do not let it freeze. Frost will kill its leaves but I’ve screwed up more than once and left them out under a pretty thick frost and they are all just fine and full of vigor. I do agree tropical can take a lot more cold than we give them credit for.. best practice though is to greenhouse them.
Nice tree.
