Maintenance of Japanese longevity plum bonsai

1. Pot soil preparation

You can choose a breathable clay pot for the flower pot, which is very permeable and can ensure that the roots can breathe normally. The loam should be acidic, loose loam with good drainage. It can be mixed with humus, garden soil and coal slag in a ratio of 3:4:3 and must be disinfected before use for filling.

2. Proper lighting

It likes a semi-shaded growing environment and is exposed to soft, bright and diffuse light on a daily basis. It is very afraid of strong light, especially in summer. Strong light stimulation can cause leaf burns, so it can be shaded at this time. The light intensity is lower in winter, so it can be placed in a well-lit place and exposed to full light.

3. Sufficient water

It likes a humid growing environment. The roots need to have enough water, and water should be sprayed next to the plant. Try not to spray it on the leaves to prevent black spots from appearing on them.

4. Adequate nutrients

Apply enough base fertilizer before potting. The plant grows rapidly during the growth period, so pay special attention to the application of good fertilizer, but the concentration should be light.

5. Timely pruning

Also pay attention to pruning. In autumn, cut off useless branches and pay attention to pruning for shaping.
