How to water the small-leaf red sandalwood bonsai

Habits

Dalbergia microphylla is a tropical plant that loves sunlight very much. It should be placed on a sunny balcony to ensure sufficient sunlight. In addition, red sandalwood has its own self-protection function, and its roots can fix nitrogen, so there is no need to fertilize it frequently. Just drip nutrient solution into the water every one or two months.

But the small-leaf red sandalwood has high requirements for water, so it needs to be watered every two or three days. Watering also requires skills, especially for the king of trees. When watering, you should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do."

Watering Tips

Watering time

First of all, you should not water the plants at noon when the sun is at its strongest. The temperature at noon will cause the water to evaporate into high-temperature steam. If this happens too often, it will cause the plants to die.

Watering method

Secondly, when watering, you must water the soil thoroughly, not just wet the surface. If there is too much soil in the pot, you can add water again after 10 minutes to ensure that it is watered thoroughly.

Kind tips

Don't move the potted red sandalwood easily. After watering, the small-leaf red sandalwood is in the growth stage. At the same time, it is also adapting to the surrounding environment. Moving it at will will increase its growth burden.
