Maintenance methods of holly bonsai

1. Lighting

Holly bonsai likes sunlight, but in the hot summer, it is necessary to provide shade to avoid sunburn of the leaves of the holly bonsai. In winter, it needs to be kept in a warm and humid place for the winter. Appropriate light is sufficient in other seasons.

2. Moisture

Holly bonsai is a relatively drought-resistant plant. During its growth process, you only need to increase the water seal appropriately. Just keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In winter, you should reduce the amount of watering and only water it when the soil is dry.

Things to note when planting holly bonsai

When planting holly bonsai, it is generally necessary to choose the time after autumn or before spring budding. Because it has relatively few tap roots, it should be transplanted with the soil ball when planting to protect the fibrous roots.

At the same time, we need to properly prune some branches and leaves, and use fertile, loose, well-permeable slightly acidic soil. We can also use leaf mold, garden soil, and soil mixed with sand.
