Have you just bought a bonsai and don’t know how to take care of it? Do not worry. In this article we will see what care does your tree need so that it can grow healthy, without problems. Because these plants have us in love with more than one and more than two, we know well how complicated they appear to be. Yes, yes, they pretend.
And if you don’t believe me, follow the advice I’m going to give you and you’ll see that it’s just a matter of your tree adapting to you, and you to it . Take a look at the bonsai growing calendar.
Deciduous bonsai
Deciduous bonsai such as maples, elms or Prunus, are usually the most acquired by the color their leaves acquire during the fall. In addition, they are also the easiest to care for since they resist frost without difficulty. Here is a brief summary of how they are cared for:
| Wiring | Transplant | Fertilizer | Pruning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Summer | Fall or spring | Spring Summer | Fall |
Of course, we must never forget to water, which we will do about 5 times a week in summer and 3-4 the rest of the year.
Evergreen bonsai
Evergreen bonsai are a beauty. They are beautiful during all months of the year, and as if that were not enough they can be inside as long as an outside location is not available or the species is tropical, such as the serissa phoetida or Carmona. Put them in a very bright room away from drafts and provide the following care:
| Wiring | Transplant | Fertilizer | Pruning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | Fall | Spring Summer | Fall |
Regarding irrigation, we will proceed to water 3-4 times in summer if it is indoors and 4-6 if it is outdoors; the rest of the year we will decrease the frequency to 2-3 weekly.
Conifer bonsai
And finally we have the conifers. We are not going to fool you: of the three these are the most complicated. If you always have to keep your work tools clean before using them, with these plants it is essential that they are unpolluted, otherwise they would be affected by fungi in a matter of a few days. Likewise also It is important that they are on the outside and that, after each cut, you put on healing paste. These are the care they require:
| Wiring | Transplant | Fertilizer | Pruning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Summer | End of winter | Spring Summer | Late winter-spring |
If we talk about irrigation, generally we will water about 4 times in summer and 3 the rest of the year.
Enjoy your Bonsai .
