bonsai management

There are not many saplings needed for bonsai, so you can cultivate them by inserting them yourself. The detailed method is as follows: in the growing season, cut the strong top branches, which are 8-1cm long, insert them into the prepared sand bed after a little air drying, connect the seedbed to be moist, and take root after about 3 weeks. You can also insert them with a single leaf, cut the leaves, air dry them, insert them into the sand bed, take root after 4 weeks, and wait until the roots are 2-3cm long.

pot soil setting and equipment deployment

Clean sandy loam is mixed with proper amount of disinfected humus soil, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are mixed, but it should not be too much, so as not to grow too fat and make the landscape pot difficult to accommodate.

Take care of it by heart

First, surround the water at the right time, and water it in the dry season for a long time, 2~3 times a week, so that the soil in the basin is wet and the weather is hot in the rainy season, and watering should be strictly controlled, so that people's growth will slow down after autumn, the temperature will gradually decrease and the evaporation will gradually decrease, and watering can be gradually eliminated;

Second, when planting outdoors, it is necessary to guard against rain shower and poor drainage, otherwise there will be too much water in the roots, which will easily lead to the death of rotten roots;

thirdly, it goes out in summer and enters in winter, so as to prevent freezing carefully. The climate in the northern region is cold from October to April of the following year, so the Melaleuca bonsai should be moved to the home or greenhouse for maintenance, and it can be moved to the outside from May to September. In the southern provinces, the white climate is high in winter, so it can be moved to the outside, and there will be frost at night, so it should be moved back indoors.

Fourth, it should be ventilated carefully. If the emerald is placed in a dark place that is airtight and ventilated for a long time, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, so it should be placed in a semi-shady place and ventilated place for maintenance.
