Ball pine bonsai maintenance skills look small cute ornamental strong

Ball pine as a common succulent plant, we all know that because its plant is short and looks like a ball, it looks chubby and lovely, and is liked by many girls. The new branch of Pinus elliottii is light green. After growing, it becomes grayish white, squeezed together one by one, and looks very full. We also have some succulent lovers who will make pines into bonsai for conservation, which is also a kind of bonsai with high ornamental value, so how can we maintain it?

When we make ball pine bonsai, we have to choose a suitable flowerpot, which is not as round as a potted plant. We can choose oval or rectangular flowerpots, so that the bonsai will look better and make some landscapes easily. We can choose loose and fertile soil in the pot, without adding a lot of organic matter, bonsai should be reduced as much as possible for fertilizer, because fertilization is easy to promote growth, ah, bonsai grows too fast and is not pruned in time, it will not look good.

Then we can put some stones on the ball pine and do some high and low, but we will also cover it with moss in order to make it easy for the ball pine to grow, which is especially good for moisturizing.

Ball pines like to grow in a cool and dry environment, so we can't let them shine in the sun for a long time. In spring and autumn, you can put it on the side of the balcony by the window and accept the light normally, because the climate is suitable and the light is not very strong, so these two seasons are not related.

However, we should pay attention to it in summer, because the temperature and light at this time are unbearable, we can't still want to put it by the balcony window in spring, we need shade and reduce a lot of sunlight, because if the temperature is too high, the ball pine will be dormant, so we can't maintain it, so we can't expose ourselves to the sun for a long time in summer. Need to pay attention to ventilation and cooling.

The second is to pay attention to the problem of watering, ball pine moisture must not be excessive, otherwise long-term stagnant water will appear rotten roots. It is normally watered in spring and autumn, usually once every 5-7 days. In summer, we are far away from the bright light at noon, and watering can no longer begin at noon, but only after the sun sets in the morning or evening. Wait until the end of autumn into winter, basically watering once a half a month is OK. So we don't have to worry too much about watering, because less watering is right, but it's easy to be dangerous if we water more.

We maintain the ball pine bonsai, the last point is to prune, we need to reduce some withered leaves, and is to trim the branches that grow too fast, so as to maintain a beautiful shape, otherwise we can not appreciate it very well.
