The Bodhi tree belongs to the genus Ficus in the Moraceae family. It is a tree plant with a very wide distribution range. In my country, Bodhi trees are mainly distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places. They mainly grow in mountainous areas, river beaches, temples and other places. So how to care for and manage Bodhi trees? Let’s take a look below. 1. Lighting Bodhi trees prefer plenty of bright light but not strong direct sunlight. It is best to place it in a bright location indoors, away from direct sunlight. 2. Temperature The ideal temperature for growing Bodhi trees is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. They are generally well adapted to common indoor temperatures, but should be protected from exposure to cold or extreme temperatures. 3. Watering Bodhi trees prefer to have moist soil but do not like to be overwatered. Before watering, touch the surface of the soil with your hand. If it feels dry, you can water it. In winter or when growth is slower, water less frequently. 4. Moisture Bodhi trees prefer higher humidity, especially in dry climates. You can help your plant thrive by adding humidity to its surroundings, such as by misting it with water or placing a humidity tray. 5. Fertilizer During the growing season (spring and summer), apply a diluted full-spectrum fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Winter is its dormant period and no fertilizer is needed. 6. Pruning Bodhi trees grow quickly and tend to become bushy, so they require regular pruning to control the size and shape of the plant. 7. Repotting Bodhi trees grow quickly and can be transplanted into a slightly larger pot every year or every one or two years, and replaced with new nutrient-rich soil. 8. Support The branches of the Bodhi tree are relatively soft and tend to droop, so you can use a support to support the plant and help it stay upright. 9. Pay attention to pests and diseases Check your plants regularly for pests such as aphids or mites. If pests are found, appropriate measures can be taken, such as wiping the leaves with soapy water.
