Did you know that banyan trees can actually be planted at home as bonsai? If you really like banyan trees, you can plant a potted banyan tree at home. Placing it in the study is actually a good choice.

Without further ado, let Huahua share with you how to grow banyan bonsai at home!

1. Temperature

The banyan tree is a plant from the subtropics, so naturally, it is not cold-resistant. If there are flower lovers in the north who grow banyan trees at home, they must pay attention to keeping the banyan trees warm in winter. You can put a plastic bag on the outside of the banyan tree, which is simple and convenient to complete the insulation of the banyan tree.

2. Watering

Banyan trees are afraid of waterlogging. Too much water will cause root rot. Once the roots rot, it will be very troublesome. You will have to change the pot and the roots, so it is best to avoid overwatering. Every time you water the banyan tree, make sure it is watered thoroughly. Try to choose soil with good water permeability to plant the banyan tree to effectively prevent the banyan tree from being suffocated by water.

3. Lighting

Banyan tree is a plant that loves sunlight very much. If there is not enough sunlight, the leaves of the banyan tree will fall off. To avoid this situation, it is best to place the banyan tree in a sunny place. Except for the summer when the sunlight is too strong, it is fine in other seasons.

4. Pruning

When growing a potted plant at home, pruning is an essential step. Pruning can shape the plant into the shape you want, and it can also prune the old branches of the banyan tree to prevent them from stealing nutrients from the new branches. Banyan trees grow very fast, so timely pruning is very important for them.

5. Fertilization

Banyan trees do not like fertilizer, so generally speaking we can apply less fertilizer, once a month is enough. Even during the growing season, banyan trees do not need too much fertilizer, so we can add liquid fertilizer to the banyan trees once a week during the growing season.

The daily management of banyan trees is actually very simple. As long as the banyan tree is given sufficient light and appropriate water, the banyan tree can live for a very long time. However, we must also pay attention to the problem of diseases and pests of banyan trees. Once the banyan tree has diseases and pests, if it is not treated in time, the disease will gradually spread, and large areas of diseases and pests will appear slowly, so it must be treated in time.
