How to grow calamus bonsai

1. Reasonable division

The plants need to be divided before they enter the growing period. Generally, shorter but lush plants are selected to make bonsai, which are more ornamental.

2. Soil

The soil used for bonsai should preferably be breathable sandy soil. Some absorbent stones or small stones can be placed at the bottom of the soil.

3. Fertilizer

When fertilizing the plants, you can choose liquid fertilizer with a lower concentration, and the amount should also be controlled. If you fertilize the plants too much, it is likely to cause the leaves to turn yellow. This is because the plant seedlings will burn due to excess fertilizer.

4. Water

Potted plants prefer moister soil, so water them to keep the soil moist. However, moisture does not mean that you need to water more. If there is water accumulation in the soil, it will cause root rot and leaves to turn yellow.

5. Sunlight

The plant prefers a cooler environment, but it also needs to receive some sunlight from time to time. It is best to receive some scattered light. It can be placed next to some large potted plants to cool off.

6. Pruning

The purpose of pruning is to remove dead leaves and branches from the plant. Yellow leaves should be pruned off in time to ensure its beauty.
