Golden bean bonsai cultivation methods and precautions

When we take care of golden beans as bonsai, the leaves often turn yellow, which is a problem for many bonsai enthusiasts. To make the golden beans we grow hang full of branches, we need to start from the following aspects.

Keep the soil fertile and loose

Golden beans originate from the south and prefer loose, fertile, and well-drained slightly acidic soil.

If the soil for growing golden beans is too sticky or too alkaline, it may cause the leaves of the golden beans to turn yellow.

Therefore, it is recommended that you carefully check the soil for growing golden beans, and replace it if the soil is not suitable.

We use leaf mold mixed with coarse river sand, 7:3 is enough . Usually, try to use rainwater to water the golden beans to prevent the soil from becoming alkaline .

Sufficient light hours

Golden beans like light but are afraid of strong light. There must be sufficient light intensity and duration during the growth period. The golden bean bonsai must first see more gentle sunlight .

Generally, the sunlight is mild in spring, autumn and winter, so you can let the golden beans get as much sunlight as possible. In summer, the sunlight is strong, so you should shade the golden beans. Insufficient or excessive sunlight can cause yellow leaves on the golden beans .

Proper watering

In addition to the light issue, golden beans do not like the soil to be too wet for a long time, so we need to water them appropriately according to the current season.

If it is summer, watering can be more frequent , and try to keep the soil slightly moist without water accumulation.

If it is winter, keep the soil slightly dry and control the frequency of watering appropriately to prevent the bonsai from root rot or frostbite.

Proper fertilization to supplement fertility

It is necessary to fertilize the golden bean bonsai, but the concentration of fertilizer needs to be controlled . It is usually not advisable to apply uncomposted organic fertilizer, otherwise the golden bean will easily have yellow leaves and fall leaves.

In addition, when the temperature is too low in winter, it is not suitable to fertilize golden beans, no matter what fertilizer is used.

If it is a low temperature winter, the golden bean bonsai will generally go dormant and the root system cannot absorb fertilizer. Fertilizing at this time will not only waste fertilizer, but also "burn the seedlings", resulting in yellow leaves or fallen leaves.

Suitable growth temperature

The golden bean bonsai itself has a certain degree of cold resistance , but if the flower pot for planting golden beans cannot hold too much soil, then try not to let the ambient temperature around the bonsai fall below zero degrees , otherwise it will easily turn the leaves of the golden bean yellow.

Prevent pests and diseases early

When caring for the golden bean bonsai, we also need to be careful of scale insects and a series of pests. We can use omethoate . While treating pests, we also need to prevent black mold. We can spray Bordeaux liquid.

When using these drugs to control pests and diseases, you need to pay attention to the dosage and concentration of the drugs. Do not use too much, otherwise yellow leaves will appear.
