What is the function of indoor Taxus bonsai?
Taxus chinensis is a precious multi-purpose vegetation, which can be planted not only in the wild, but also as a bonsai for indoor viewing. Taxus chinensis is a shade-loving and drought-tolerant plant type, so the following points should be paid attention to in the management of Taxus chinensis bonsai: First, the selection of flower pots. The flowerpot should be appropriately larger, and more holes should be punched in the lower part of the flowerpot, mainly to enhance the water permeability and air permeability of the flowerpot. The second is the soil selection of potted plants. Loam is the best soil for potted plants, which is water-retaining, fertilizer-retaining and breathable, which is beneficial to the growth of Taxus chinensis. Although clay retains water and fertilizer, it is airtight, which is not conducive to the growth and development of Taxus root system. Although sandy soil is breathable, it has poor fertilizer and water retention, which is not conducive to the growth of Taxus chinensis. Of course, you can also choose peat soil (plant ash), perlite and other mixed substrates with loam for cultivation. The third is the requirement of bonsai moisture. Water should be appropriate, and the number of watering depends on the degree of soil dryness and wetness. The best water content of potted soil is 30%-40%. Usually, just spray some water on the leaves to keep them moist. Excessive watering of Taxus chinensis will cause root rot and lead to death. Especially when there is heavy rain in summer, the extra rain should be discharged in time when it is placed outdoors to prevent yew from being soaked in water for a long time. Potted soil contains too little water, which is not conducive to the normal growth of Taxus chinensis. The growth period of Taxus chinensis is from the beginning of April to the end of October every year. During this period, Taxus chinensis is watered once every 15 to 20 days when it is placed outdoors, and once every 20 to 25 days when it is indoors, the normal growth needs of Taxus chinensis can be guaranteed.
