Five taboos for the growth and maintenance of bonsai in summer

First, avoid fertilizing.

Due to the high temperature in midsummer and the rapid loss of water on the leaf surface, fertilization can make the concentration of pile cells less than that of the external environment, resulting in the reverse flow of water in plant cells and the death of piles due to fertilizer damage.

Second, avoid drought.

When I think of watering, I don't water it if I don't remember it. Sometimes I don't care for several days in a row. Once the leaves are found to be wilting, they quickly replenish the water, and the leaves return to normal. This is a reaction of the pile body to adapt to the environment, but for a long time, excessive transpiration will eventually make the pile body "sick" difficult to recover, dehydration and death.

Third, avoid water stains.

When the ambient temperature exceeds 28 degrees, the bonsai should be protected by shade, otherwise, the amount of water obtained by the pile from the soil is much lower than that lost by transpiration, the leaf edge will be burned and scorched, and the pile will die from sunburn.

Fourth, avoid sudden shade.

In general, in order to avoid high temperature injury, when the ambient temperature exceeds the maximum temperature tolerated by the pile, the bonsai should be moved to a relatively low temperature area with weak light (about 2 degrees) to facilitate the growth of the pile, but if it is suddenly moved into the indoor or low temperature area without light, within a few days, the leaves will fall off naturally, and the pile will quickly shrink and die.

Avoid taking a bath in the afternoon.

Do not spray water to the sunlit pile or water into the basin at noon in hot summer, this kind of "pet" way will make the bonsai temperature suddenly lower than the ambient temperature and hurt the pile.
