How to grow wintersweet bonsai (different methods for indoor and outdoor use)

1. Indoor farming

1. Pruning: It is usually carried out from March to June, and pruning needs to be stopped after July. During the maintenance period, new branches should be pinched after they grow 2-3 pairs of leaves to encourage the plant to sprout short and strong flower branches and make the plant shape even and dense.

2. Fertilization: It is a fertilizer-loving flower. Appropriate fertilization can promote the differentiation of flower buds. Apply broad-leaf fertilizer twice in spring and apply compound fertilizer once every 10 days from the end of June to the beginning of the dog days.

3. Watering: It is a plant that can tolerate drought and is afraid of water. When watering, follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry. Water until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

4. Pests and diseases: Wintersweet diseases generally come from insufficient ventilation and light transmittance in the living environment, so they can be effectively avoided by placing it in a place with good ventilation and high light transmittance.

2. Outdoor Farming

The biggest difference between outdoor and indoor growing methods is temperature. It is a relatively cold-resistant plant, but if the temperature in winter is below 5 degrees, it should be moved indoors in time to avoid frostbite from low temperatures.
