How to promote budding of boxwood bonsai

1. Promote germination according to growth habits

Boxwood is particularly afraid of strong light, so when cultivating boxwood bonsai, you must pay attention to the fact that there can only be diffuse light, and it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight under the scorching sun. Boxwood likes fertilizer, and you can spray an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer on its leaves all year round, but the concentration needs to be lower. You need to pay attention when watering the boxwood. You can add some trace nitrogen fertilizer. In this way, the leaves grown will have a very good gloss and be very beautiful!

2. Methods of promoting germination

Now let’s get back to the topic and talk about how to promote germination. It is actually very simple, and the raw materials used are also very cheap, which is gibberellin, or 920. The dosage should be determined according to the degree of aging of the boxwood stems. In severe cases, a higher concentration can be used, generally 1000 times. After dissolving it with alcohol, add clean water to dilute it. Then you can use the medicine. Use a brush to apply it evenly to the areas where germination needs to be promoted. Apply it once a day. Follow this method two or three times and new buds will grow!

3. Notes

After using the above method, the new sprouts will soon emerge, but the newly grown sprouts are particularly delicate, so you must be careful to protect them and do not touch them with your hands! It should also be noted that some people like to apply potassium fertilizer after germination. This practice is highly undesirable because potassium mainly exists in the body of boxwood in the form of ions. It is very helpful for flowering and fruiting, but for growing new buds, the effect is not obvious and may even have a counterproductive effect! On the one hand, it will cause the loss of water in the boxwood bonsai, and on the other hand, it will also cause the loss of other nutrients in the boxwood, which will greatly hinder the growth of new shoots!

The above is the relevant content about how to promote germination of boxwood bonsai. Have you all learned it? I wish that the boxwood bonsai that everyone cultivates can continue to sprout new buds and grow lushly!
