Miniature bonsai cultivation techniques

Miniature bonsai needs to deal with branches and leaves

When growing miniature bonsai, because the plants are relatively short, you should try to make their trunk visible for easy viewing.

We can try to leave as few branches and leaves as possible so that the grace of the main trunk can be revealed. The plants should be properly pruned to a moderate size.

Miniature bonsai should prevent leaves from turning yellow and falling off

The miniature bonsai itself is very small, so the soil in the flowerpot is also very small, and it is not easy to retain moisture, so in summer the leaves often turn yellow or even fall off.

When raising miniature bonsai, you should pay attention to watering and spraying them frequently in summer. In addition, you can put a brick in a pot or pool, add water to submerge the brick surface, and then place the miniature bonsai on it for cultivation.

Miniature bonsai should be promptly controlled for pests and diseases

Pests and diseases are very dangerous to any plant, and they must be controlled in a timely manner after discovery. Generally, when miniature bonsai are found to have leaf spot disease or pests such as aphids and scale insects, they should be treated promptly by manual treatment or spraying with drugs.

Miniature bonsai should be watered and fertilized appropriately

When growing miniature bonsai, there must be sufficient water. Lack of water will cause the leaves to turn yellow, but overwatering will cause the roots to rot. If there is insufficient fertilizer, the plants will grow poorly and look listless, but if there is too much fertilizer, the plants will tend to grow too tall.

Miniature bonsai should be kept in sufficient light

Miniature bonsai are usually grown indoors with little exposure to light, so they often grow poorly. Generally, you need to meet its need for light and expose it to the sun frequently, but not for too long.
