After the potted Ganoderma lucidum matures, keeping the flowerpot dry can generally be preserved for decades. Its fruiting body growth cycle is only a few months a year, not many years. Once the fruiting body is mature, it will be lignified and can be preserved for several years.

Generally, it grows in early summer and early autumn, which is the best growth period of three months. If it's a natural birth, it's only a few months. If it is man-made, many years are not excluded. As long as its nutrition and temperature are right, it is possible to live to a hundred years old.

Because ganoderma lucidum bonsai can be placed for a long time, the surface is easy to be contaminated with stolen goods and dust, losing its luster. In order to prevent pollution and keep bright, the surface of Ganoderma lucidum can be coated with varnish, which can not only prevent insects and moisture, but also maintain the original luster.

Extended data:

Ganoderma lucidum is a thermophilic fungus, which can grow at 15 ~ 35℃, and the optimum temperature is 25 ~ 30℃. The fruiting body can grow in the range of 10 ~ 32℃, but the optimum temperature for primordium differentiation and fruiting body development is 25 ~ 28℃. When the temperature is lower than 25℃, the fruiting body grows slowly and the shell color is poor. Above 35℃, the fruiting body will die. The growth of Ganoderma lucidum needs high humidity. With the increase of temperature difference between day and night, the time for mycelium to grow full of bags is prolonged.

During the mycelium growth period, it is required that the water content of the culture medium is 55% ~ 60% and the relative humidity of the air is 70% ~ 80%. During the development of fruiting body, the relative humidity of air should be 90% ~ 95%. Below 80%, the growth quality of fruiting body is poor, and the tender growth point at the edge of the cap will turn dark gray or dark brown.
