How to care for rosewood bonsai and what to pay attention to

Feng Shui meaning of rosewood bonsai

The taller the red sandalwood bonsai is, the more expensive it is. It is very ornamental when kept indoors and can reflect the owner's taste, symbolizing good luck, wealth, and affluent life. It can emit a faint fragrance that can relieve emotions and make people feel peaceful. In addition, it grows very slowly, and it takes a long time to grow an old stump, which makes it extremely precious.

Maintenance methods of rosewood bonsai

Rosewood bonsai can be grown indoors. It likes an environment with plenty of sunlight and is suitable for maintenance in sunny places. The plant is not cold-resistant and needs to be kept warm in winter. It is best to maintain it indoors.

1. Temperature: Red sandalwood bonsai prefers a warm growing environment and is not resistant to high or low temperature weather. If the temperature is high in summer, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation and place it in a semi-shaded place indoors. If the temperature is low in winter, it can be placed in a warm room and watered frequently if there is heating.

2. Humidity: Red sandalwood bonsai likes a humid growing environment. Water it frequently to keep the soil moist. If the air is dry, spray water on the leaves frequently to create a humid environment and meet the plant's need for water. In winter, the water demand is less, so less watering is required.

3. Ventilation: If the red sandalwood bonsai is maintained indoors, good ventilation is required. If the light is strong at noon in winter, the windows should be opened appropriately to allow air circulation. Water should also be sprayed on the leaves to remove dust on the leaves and promote better photosynthesis of the plants.

4. Pruning and shaping: As long as the growth conditions are satisfactory, red sandalwood plants can have a new sprout every quarter, so pruning is usually suitable throughout the year, but the best pruning time is in spring and autumn, when dense, overgrown, and withered parts can be pruned away.

5. Fertilization: The root nodules of red sandalwood have the function of fixing nitrogen, so excessive fertilization is not needed during the growth period. Top dressing 1-2 times a year is sufficient. Compound fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be used.

Red sandalwood management precautions

Rosewood bonsai requires less fertilizer, so there is no need to cover it with nutrient soil when planting, otherwise it will burn the roots of the plant. Do not water it at noon when the sun is high, otherwise the water will evaporate faster and cause the rosewood bonsai to lack water. It is generally best to water it in the morning or evening.
