Maintenance methods of black pine bonsai

Watering

Before planting, choose soil with good air permeability and water permeability, which is conducive to watering. When the upper layer of the potting soil is completely dry, water it immediately. In spring and summer, reduce watering appropriately to prevent it from growing too tall. It doesn't like overly wet soil, so be careful with daily watering. Stop watering in rainy weather.

Fertilization

Many people believe that fertilization should be controlled to prevent the plant from growing too tall, but when pruning new shoots, more fertilizer should be applied, and for weaker plants, fertilize first and then prune new shoots, so as not to affect its germination again.

environment

The environment should have plenty of sunlight and good air circulation, which will also reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. Simple cold-proof work should be done in winter, but if placed indoors, try to choose a location with lower temperature, preferably with exposure to sunlight.

prune

It is best to do pruning in winter, when the tree will go dormant. You can adjust the shape of the tree appropriately and cut off those with weak growth or those that have been damaged by pests and diseases. Bud picking is carried out from March to April every year.

Even if the water and nutrients are appropriate, it will be useless if the environment is not right, so all aspects must be combined to grow plants well.

The above is the maintenance method of black pine bonsai. I hope it will be helpful to my friends.
