Maintenance methods of five-needle pine bonsai

1. Lighting

When caring for the five-needle pine bonsai, it needs to receive a certain amount of light and cannot be deprived of sunlight for a long time. In midsummer, it should be shielded from strong sunlight and not exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise its branches will be burned. In summer, you can keep it indoors in the morning and evening, and move it to a cool place at noon.

2. Watering

It is very susceptible to waterlogging, and the soil in the pot would rather be dry than have water accumulation. It is best to let it grow in a slightly humid environment. When watering, you should change the amount according to the dryness of the soil in the pot, and there must not be excess water in the pot. The air is relatively dry in summer, so you can spray some water appropriately.

3. Fertilization

Fertilization is generally carried out in spring and autumn. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much and the concentration should be lower. Too high a concentration will burn the roots. In spring, you can apply fully decomposed cake fertilizer water 2-3 times, usually with an interval of about 10 days; in autumn, the fertilizer can be slightly more concentrated, but the degree must be controlled.

4. Pruning

In order to make the bonsai more unique in shape, it needs to be pruned every year. Some branches may become too long and turn yellow due to improper maintenance methods. These branches should be cut off as soon as possible. After it is attacked by diseases and insect pests, its branches and leaves will show adverse symptoms, and they should be removed in time after discovery.
