March, everyone is recovering, the weather is warm, it’s the season tree lush, flowers bloom brilliantly. Many people who go to the flower market will want to buy some beautiful bonsai to display at home for a lively living room, a brilliant balcony.
Spring is a favorable season for growing flowers and houseplants, but many flower lovers say that the bonsai they buy in the spring are in very poor condition.
Recently, a friend told me that the bonsai he had just bought had yellow leaves, curled leaves, and badly rotted roots.
This is mostly due to improper bonsai care. Plants that are brought home will be “weird and unfamiliar”, not used to the new environment. The first thing we need to do is make them grow slowly, gradually getting used to the new environment.
Here are 4 things you should never do as soon as you bring your bonsai home.
1. Do not expose the bonsai to the sun
In general, ornamental plants preserved in the flower market are very suitable for shady lighting. Therefore, after you bring home the bonsai, do not expose the plant to direct sunlight, especially for some shade-tolerant flowers, once the water evaporates on the leaves, it will turn yellow.
You need to put the bonsai in a cool place for treatment, after about 1 week of treatment, you can gradually increase the light for the bonsai to carry out photosynthesis.
When the leaves are stronger, it can encourage better bonsai growth.
2. Do not water the bonsai regularly
New bonsai when brought home do not need a lot of water, just keep the soil slightly moist. The reason is, when the new bonsai is brought home, its current absorption is not very good.
If we water regularly, the plant will not absorb well, it is easy to get waterlogged, the roots are caught in water, most likely will rot, even die immediately.
3. Do not immediately fertilize bonsai
Likewise, bonsai that have just been brought home have not adapted to the environment, so they should not be fertilized. At this time, the roots of ornamental plants are not well absorbed, fertilize as soon as the plants are brought home, most likely the roots will be damaged.
Therefore, we only add a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer to the bonsai after changing the plant pot, which means we have to wait a while for the bonsai to stabilize and get used to the new environment.
4. Don’t bother, immediately change the land for bonsai
Bonsai that you bring home to grow in pots are generally not very beautiful or bonsai grown in plastic pots are poorly ventilated. In such cases, we need to change the pot and replace the soil.
However, you need to be careful not to change the pot and replace the soil immediately after bringing the plant home. Because at this time the bonsai has not adapted to the environment, the roots will be damaged after changing the pot immediately.
Especially for some flowers with buds, note that you should not repot and plant the soil, you can wait for the flowers to bloom and wither, then repot after the plant adapts to the environment, its survival rate will be higher.
The above are things you should never do as soon as you bring home your bonsai. If you master these points, your bonsai will be in better health, easier to care for, and more fertile later on.
