Proper Care

Climate is the key to a good Bonsai. Depending on the variety of plants, it may grow indoors or outdoors. Outdoor species need a cold weather season and become dormant. Outdoor Bonsai are likely to die if left indoors for a longer period of time. In milder seasons, such as spring and summer, Bonsai can be taken indoors for up to a week. The indoor Bonsai tree must be kept at temperatures between 50 and 80 degrees. They may be left outside in milder months, but extreme cold can allow it to die and must be kept indoors.

As with other crops, adequate drainage is an important consideration. Soil humidity should be monitored closely to ensure that it is not over or submerged. In the summer months when the tree is dry, it will have to be watered regularly, less often in the winter months or in the rainy months.

Although many Bonsai fans have opted to make their own soil mix, a potting mix can also be used. Bonsai special soil mixtures are available. The main difference between the Bonsai formulation and the other potting soil mixtures is the decreased volume of nitrogen.

Fertilizer is often used for plants that the grower needs to be complete and lush. Bonsai plants often require fertiliser for optimum health. To order to ensure optimal production, fertiliser containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium must be supplied to the crop at the right time of year. Nitrogen stimulates the growth of stems and leaves. Phosphorus maintains healthy soil and facilitates budding. Potassium helps to protect against infection and promotes flowering. Fertilize Bonsai throughout the spring and summer with a natural solution and turn to nitrogen-free fertilizer in the fall in preparation for the winter.
