Good care of Bonsais - Doctor Needed!
It had been far too late to call within the bonsai doctor. My dwarf juniper is dead. I'm now trying again having a second bonsai but have this time around ensured I understand the simple tips required for proper care of bonsais. Who would have thought, when the leaves on my small tree began turning brown, it was not a lack of water, but an over abundance. However only agreed to be creating a much bigger problem. A Juniper likes dry soil. I was drowning poor people thing.
Bonsais can be achieved from the countless variety of trees each different type prefers quite different care. Ensure, when you purchase your tree, i hear you ask which type it is then you'll be able to find out exactly what conditions it prefers. It should then be a easy few selecting the best environment to keep your plant healthy and happy. Some, like my juniper, thrive in almost drought conditions, others like damp soil.
Bonsais can be kept within your house or perhaps in a good spot inside your garden or in your patio - Outdoor plants do not always thrive well when brought indoors as the temperature and quantity of light they receive may not be suitable. It is often a good idea to mist your indoor bonsai with water as much just like a humid atmosphere. Again - what suits one plant may not suit another, which explains why it's important to know the name of one's particular tree.
While watering is vital to the good care of bonsais, also will be the kind of soil. Again you will need to know what type of tree you've got to help you ensure it's potted within the right soil and know you're feeding it the best kind of fertilizer at the correct time.
Generally speaking, it's advocated a variety of around 30 percent sandy grit and 70 % humus for deciduous trees and vice verse for evergreen needle plants. Hopefully, in case you have bought your plant from a specialist or garden shop they have got the soil mix right. It can pay to check on, however, as staff in a few non-specialty stores may have heard less in regards to the proper care of bonsai trees than you.
Bonsais generally need to be re-potted every two to five years. Again its smart to get some advice about the pot size and soil. Re-potting can be enough time to do your root and branch pruning. That's where your artistic flair comes to the fore. Regular pruning for your proper care of bonsai trees can be carried out through pinching off new growth together with your thumb and forefinger.
Wire and pruning may be used to encourage your bonsai to develop into the desired, artistic shape. I didn't discover all of this information prior to being too late in order to save my first bonsai. However will have the proper knowledge to ensure my replacement tree will not suffer the same fate.
