How to cultivate Metasequoia bonsai

1. Watering

When caring for bonsai, do not water it too frequently to avoid water accumulation, which can easily lead to root rot and affect growth. Watering only once a week is enough. Make sure to water thoroughly each time so that the roots and the soil at the bottom can also come into contact with water.

2. Lighting

It likes light very much and will only grow more vigorously if it is exposed to light for a sufficient period of time. Therefore, the bonsai should be placed in a well-lit area and exposed to light for six hours every day. In addition, be careful to avoid strong light, and it is best to move it indoors when the temperature is high.

3. Fertilization

During the breeding period, it is important to note that no fertilizer should be applied in the early stages, otherwise it will easily lead to indigestion and be detrimental to growth. After new roots grow in the later stage, you can apply liquid fertilizer in an appropriate amount to promote the growth of new roots. During the growing season, fertilize frequently, once a week, so that the plant will grow better with sufficient nutrients.

4. Ventilation

When caring for bonsai, it should be placed in a ventilated place, especially in the hot summer. Once in a hot and humid environment, the plants will easily wilt, affecting their appearance and growth. If conditions permit, it is best to place a fan next to the plant when the temperature is high to ensure air circulation at all times.
