Cultivation methods and precautions of green plum bonsai

Green plum bonsai is not difficult to grow. As long as you master the good method, you can keep it in very good condition. You need to prepare suitable soil and relatively good light. Remember to shade it when necessary, water it appropriately, pay more attention to pruning branches and leaves, and pay attention to disease prevention.

How to cultivate green plum bonsai

1. Unsuitable soil

When cultivating green plum bonsai, you need to prepare loose, organic-rich, and well-drained sandy soil. If you do not use such soil, it is likely to cause the green plum to grow poorly.

2. Repotting

The green plum bonsai needs to have the potting soil replaced every 1-2 years, because the soil has been used for a long time, the air permeability and water permeability are not very good, and the nutrients in the soil are gone, which will affect the growth of the green plum.

3. Moisture

Green plum is a flower plant that likes a humid growing environment. If the air is too dry or you don’t water it enough, the green plum will lack water and its leaves will curl.

Matters Needing Attention in Caring for Green Plum Bonsai

1. Soil rescue methods

When your potting soil can no longer meet the growth needs of green plums, you can add some dilute nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound liquid fertilizer to the green plums, then water the green plums thoroughly, let the soil dry slightly and then loosen the soil, which is conducive to the growth of green plums.

2. Take shelter from the rain

Generally, when it rains in summer, we can move the green plum to a ventilated and rain-proof place. This can effectively prevent water accumulation in the flowerpot and ensure that the soil is not too moist.
