Phyllanthus myrtifolius lies within the Euphorbia family of plants and the genus Phyllanthus contains shrubby plants and small trees from tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. The flowers of Phyllanthus are typically small and are followed by small fruits. Some of the larger fruited varieties are eaten for their high vitamin content.
The Phyllanthus genus, originating from Southeast Asia, Australia, and the tropical Americas, contains several plants used for bonsai.
The plants prefer a moist soil mix, and will die if allowed to dry out completely. On repotting make sure to keep the roots moist or the plants will suffer. Drooping and dull colored leaves are present if the plant gets a bit dry. If allowed to get completely dry, it may die.
