Care Review For Primary Bonsai
Most of the care tips provided for bonsai are similar to the care you would provide any other plant or tree. All live organisms, including trees and plants for example, need food and water. Often, they need shade. They need attention to their growth and development. You might liken raising a bonsai plant to raising a pet or small child! 1.Make sure you water your bonsai. If you live in a humid area you probably will find you need to water your bonsai less often than if you live in a dry climate. If your plant resides indoors, it may require watering less or more frequently depending on the climate you live in. Regardless of how much you water, most bonsai will want a drink every other day at the minimum. Most people find the best way to tell they watered their plant enough is when a little extra water runs from the base or drainage at the bottom of the plant holder. Just make sure you do not let too much water drain out, a clear sign you put too much water in your plant to begin with. As with any plant, you do not want the soil overly dry or wet. 2.Fertilize bonsai soil to keep it nutrient dense when you pot your plant. Fertilizer is like giving your bonsai a vitamin. By fertilizing your plant you will enable your bonsai to grow healthier and stronger. Most people find fertilizer works best when used at least once each month during the growing season, which for most plants is the spring. To fertilize your bonsai, you should follow the directions on the fertilizer. Typically, you will need to water your bonsai before fertilizing. 3.Repot your plant every few years. Usually by the time you own a plant for three years at the most, you should repot your bonsai to maintain its health. The early part of spring is the best time to repot plants. Some plants may need to be repotted annually, so be sure you are confident of the timeframes for repotting your bonsai. You can always look up your plant species on the Web, go to the resources section of this guide for more information, or ask your local bonsai expert or plant nursery for more information and help with repotting. 4.Trim and prune your tree regularly. This is how a bonsai remains a bonsai. Unless you want your bonsai to grow into a full-grown tree, you will have to trim and prune your tree regularly. Most pruning occurs during the growing season. Once your bonsai takes on its primary shape, you will need to prune all new growth to prevent a change in your bonsai’s appearance. Advanced owners may wire branches so they grow in a certain direction. Most of the time wires are placed on branches that are growing for six months or less, then removed. By this time, a branch learns how to grow in the direction you want effortlessly. Trimming and pruning your bonsai, even shaping your bonsai, is much like training your favorite pet. Once you provide gentle and loving guidance, your bonsai is likely to respond vigorously and willingly to future requests and demands. You may find pruning and care challenging initially, but with time, you will find caring for your bonsai simple and easy. Now that you understand the basic elements of caring for a bonsai, you should think about selecting a tree. Do not do this until you finish reading this guide and do some research; you can however, use the tips in the next section to help you when the time for selection comes. |
