Unlike some bonsai trees, the Flowering Dwarf Pomegranate actually needs to be in full sunlight for most of the time. This goes against what many bonsai growers are used to since most bonsai need either indirect sunlight or do not need to be in sunlight at all. However, like most bonsai, the Flowering Dwarf Pomegranate does need protection from the winter. You’ll want to put it in a sheltered area where it won’t be rained or snowed on. This can be difficult since these sheltered areas are also often areas in the shade, thus preventing the tree from getting the sunlight it needs.
