How to care for Sweetgum as bonsai
Sweetgum will thrive in sun to part shade. The leaves will reduce in size easily after potting. You'll find the fleshy roots could use a larger or deeper pot and abundant water. Its root system thrives in a cool, moist substrate high in organic matter. Good horticultural practices translate to healthy bonsai.
