What are the key points to pay attention to in summer maintenance of bonsai

Bonsai cultivation in summer should not be waterlogged

When growing bonsai in summer, people often find that it has withered and died. The main reason is that it has been watered too much. Many people water the plants a lot because they think that evaporation is high in summer, but not all of this water can be absorbed, and it is easy for water to accumulate, causing the roots to rot and the plants to die.

Bonsai should pay attention to fertilization in midsummer

In summer, the temperature is very high and water evaporates very vigorously. At this time, you should pay attention to fertilization, because fertilization can easily cause fertilizer damage, causing the leaves to lose water and die.

In summer, it is generally not necessary to apply fertilizer. Even if you need to apply fertilizer, apply it thinly and frequently, and not too thickly.

Improper pruning of bonsai in summer

In summer, bonsai cannot be pruned drastically. In summer, the plants need the help of leaves to evaporate and dissipate heat. Once they are pruned drastically, the moisture in the soil will be difficult to evaporate, which can easily cause root rot.

Bonsai should avoid strong light in summer

In summer, the light is strong and many plants need shade, including bonsai.

Be sure to block the sunlight in time to prevent the plant from evaporating too quickly, losing water, causing yellowing of leaves, or even death.

Bonsai should be protected from diseases and pests in summer

In summer, plants are prone to outbreaks of diseases and pests, so preventive measures should be taken to prevent bonsai from dying due to outbreaks of diseases and pests.
