Cultivation methods and precautions of ash trees

1. Watering

The ash tree generally needs to be well controlled, and you need to be careful when watering. Do not water it when the soil is not dry, and if you do water it, make sure it is watered thoroughly. In fact, it usually needs less watering. Normally, just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist, but in summer, you must water it more appropriately. Generally, it is best to water in the morning or morning, and it is best not to water at night.

2. Lighting

When raising it, light is generally very important for it. In spring, summer and autumn, the ash tree bonsai must generally be placed in a place with more sunlight. In addition, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight in summer. If the bonsai is placed in the room, it should be exposed to the sun at least once every three days. In winter, if you keep it indoors, you must keep it in sufficient sunlight so that it can function normally.

3. Temperature

The bonsai of ash tree has very strong adaptability. It can generally survive in temperatures between -20 degrees Celsius and +40 degrees Celsius without any adverse reactions or diseases. So we don’t need to pay special attention to the temperature at ordinary times, but whether in the south or the north, it is best to move it indoors in winter. If there is heating in the room, be sure to add more water.

4. Soil

After the bonsai has taken shape, you should replace its deep pot with a shallower one, and try to reduce the amount of soil in the pot. At the same time, when mixing the soil, you should add a little more coal slag. The ratio only needs to be half and half.

5. Fertilization

During its growth period, you should apply a little thin fertilizer to it, but apply it frequently. This will facilitate better absorption by the tree and effectively prevent fertilizer waste. It is usually applied once every five to seven days. Generally, the best time to apply fertilizer is on a sunny afternoon when the soil in the pot is relatively dry. You can also water the leaves after applying it. Once it is formed, there is basically no need to apply fertilizer.
