Stone Care
Once the stone has a patina, you need to maintain it.
  • Dry stones: practice "oils" method every quarter
  • Stones with a patina obtained by spraying water need to be sprayed on an ongoing basis.
  • Garden-displayed stones: during very cold weather, cover stone with sheet to prevent freezing, cracking
  • Garden stones in suiban with water: during very cold weather, turn suiban upside down or remove water from suiban
