Steps for making and maintaining bonsai of winter jasmine

1. Production method

1. Prepare flower pots: When making bonsai of forsythia, we usually choose purple clay pots or glazed pottery pots with slightly darker colors. The specific shape depends on the model, usually square or round can be chosen. The color should be able to bring out the plant's small yellow flowers, and can be black, dark blue or purple.

2. Bonsai shape: Its branches usually droop naturally, and the roots are very distinctive, making them very suitable for processing into root-raising or drooping styles, and generally the two are combined. When planting, lift it carefully, fill the roots with soil, and water it slowly, so that the roots are exposed and the whole shape will be unique.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Pruning: The most important thing in bonsai maintenance is pruning. If you find any branches growing bent, you should remove them immediately. Of course, diseased branches should also be cut off to avoid infection. Only careful maintenance will make the tree more beautiful.

2. Water and fertilizer: Water thoroughly during the growth period and fertilize once every 20 to 30 days. In addition, pay attention to water control when flower buds form in winter, and apply appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

3. Overwintering: In the south, you can spend the winter outdoors in a place with better light. It is too cold in the north, so it is best to move indoors to avoid frostbite.
