How to cultivate bonsai of cattail grass

1. Suitable soil

If you want to cultivate a highly ornamental calamus bonsai, you need to prepare suitable soil, which is the basis for root development and can make the growth more vigorous. You can use soil containing rotten leaves and dead branches to ensure that it is breathable and nutritious.

2. Lighting

Acorus likes shade and is afraid of exposure to the sun, so you must pay attention to the lighting. It cannot be exposed to the sun or direct sunlight, but it can be exposed to soft scattered light. If it is exposed to the sun, it will not only be detrimental to its growth, but may even cause death due to lack of water.

3. Application of water and fertilizer

The application of water and fertilizer is an important factor in cultivation. Water is needed during growth, but the frequency of watering should not be too high. Once a week is sufficient. When watering, water the roots to encourage the roots to fully absorb water, and do not contaminate the leaves. The application of nutrients is also critical. Fertilizer should be applied according to the growth needs. The choice should not be too single. A variety of nutrients can be used and mixed to promote nutritional balance and ensure normal growth.

4. Regular pruning

During the breeding process, if you find any yellow leaves, you need to cut them off in time. You cannot leave them there, as this will affect the absorption of nutrients.
