Making of small-leaf red sandalwood bonsai

Preparation for bonsai making

Materials: Select healthy small-leaf red sandalwood seedlings or stumps that have been cultivated for many years.

Potting: A deeper purple clay pot can be used, and the shape can be chosen according to your preference; the potting soil needs to be fertile and well-drained.

Bonsai shape

Because small-leaf red sandalwood is extremely precious, it is generally chosen to grow according to the terrain and is rarely pruned unless necessary. If bonsai pruning is required, the growth characteristics of the plant itself and the artistic shape of the bonsai itself must be considered.

Mature small-leaf red sandalwood also needs to be pruned frequently to maintain its bonsai shape. This not only maintains its original shape, but also allows for appropriate changes to make it more beautiful.

Stones that have been ground into shapes for aesthetic purposes can be appropriately placed in the bonsai.

Bonsai maintenance

Dalbergia serrata prefers a hot and humid climate, and the best temperature is a constant temperature above 25 degrees, and sufficient light is also required;

At the same time, it also likes soil with high humidity, so make sure the soil has enough moisture;

Normally, there is no need to apply fertilizer frequently. Just drop the nutrient solution into the water once or two months. Apply compound fertilizer twice a year, 200 grams each time is enough.
