How to grow a ginkgo bonsai

1. Breeding methods

1. Flower pot: Because ginkgo has many roots and occupies a large volume, you should choose a deeper and more breathable flower pot to grow it.

2. Flower soil: It can adapt to a variety of flower soils. However, when raising it at home, it is recommended to use sandy soil with high humus content and good exhaust properties, so that the breeding effect will be better.

3. Watering: It likes moisture, but its roots are afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, watering should be timely, but not too frequent. Just keep the soil slightly moist.

4. Fertilization: In spring and summer, it grows very vigorously and requires frequent application of thin fertilizers to provide it with nutrients. In winter, you can apply base fertilizer once to help it overwinter.

2. Timely pruning

It needs to be pruned in the spring before it sprouts new buds. Keep 3-5 main branches, cut off the rest of the branches and the overly dense branches, and tie them up properly. This can make it grow more beautiful and increase its ornamental value.

3. Proper soil turning

Every two years of cultivation, you need to turn the soil for it. This can make the soil of the flowers more loose, which is beneficial for the breathing of its roots. When turning the soil, you can replace it with some new soil and cut its old roots short, which will be more conducive to its growth.
