Things to note for beginners when raising bonsai

Plant selection

In general, the plants that can be made into bonsai are basically some trees and shrubs, and evergreen plants are also relatively common. It is more appropriate for beginners to choose to buy in flower shops, which have rich and diverse products and have everything you need. You can choose whatever you want, and the shop owner will also give you good recommendations and suggestions. When choosing, pay attention to the appearance of the plant and try to choose some that are strong and beautiful in shape.

Although methods such as layering and cuttings are more economical and cost-effective, and can also better train flower lovers' hands-on ability, they are a bit difficult for novices after all. It is better to first familiarize yourself with simple maintenance methods and then try more difficult ones.

Flower Pot Selection

People rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold ornaments. Only by choosing a pair of shoes that fit your feet can you go further. This is true for humans and plants as well. Beginners should also pay attention to this issue when growing potted plants, and configure a suitable container for the plants you choose, which can not only ensure the coordination of appearance, but also avoid the incompatibility between the plant roots and the container. For example, if you pair a plant with a vigorous root system with a poorly constructed container, it will naturally not be able to grow normally.

Another thing to remember is that there must be small holes at the bottom of the flower pot. These are drainage and ventilation holes that must be reserved regardless of the type of potted plant.

Daily care

The potting soil should be replaced approximately once a year, which is basically when the plants sprout in spring. In addition, you must pay careful attention to the plant's water, light and other aspects on a daily basis. The above is what you need to learn as a novice in potted plants.
