Ficus likes light, which requires 3 hours of light per day, temperature above 18 degrees, and good soil permeability and drainage. The temperature is high in summer, so you can water it three times a day. It is suggested to apply nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer every 10~ 15 days during the growth period. Banyan bonsai needs to pay attention to pruning, and it is recommended to prune once a year, among which early spring pruning is the best. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

1. Land

The growth of banyan trees needs loose and fertile soil with rich organic matter, good air permeability and drainage. It is best to use humus soil and garden soil, and at the same time put them in a ventilated position for breeding.

2. Light and temperature

The banyan tree needs certain lighting conditions, and the lighting time is required to reach 3 hours every day, and the temperature is above 18 degrees. In spring and autumn, the light condition is stable and the temperature is relatively stable, so it can be cultivated outdoors. Avoid direct sunlight in summer; The temperature is low in winter, so you can put it outdoors to supplement the light at noon.

Step 3: Moisture

Banyan trees like to grow in humid environment, and the temperature is high in summer. You can increase the amount of water and water it three times a day. Make sure the soil is wet. In winter, the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced to prevent plants from getting wet and waterlogged.

fertilize the soil or land

It is suggested that nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied every 10~ 15 days during the growth period of Ficus, and it is appropriate to use diluted nitrogen fertilizer and apply thin fertilizer frequently to promote the growth of its branches and leaves. Never apply thick fertilizer directly to the root surface.

5. Preventive measures

When the branches and leaves of banyan trees grow luxuriantly, they should be cut off. You can trim it at any time, but it is recommended to trim it once a year, preferably in early spring. In the germination stage of banyan, 2/3 buds will be removed, which can promote the growth of lateral buds. Picking leaves can make banyan leaves smaller, which is beneficial to modeling. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied twice before leaf picking, and leaves can be picked after new leaves germinate. If you want to grow new leaves after picking leaves, you need to keep the petiole. The combination of short cutting and shrinkage cutting can be shaped according to personal preference.
