How to water and fertilize tree stumps

The trees growing in the potted pot with stumps and bonsai are easy to dry because the potted soil is limited. If they are not replenished with water in time, they will be short of water and die; but too much watering will not work, and it will lead to overgrowth. If the potted soil is too wet for a long time, the roots are not breathing well, and it is easy to cause rotten roots to die. People say, "those who can grow flowers are dry to death, and those who do not grow flowers are watered to death." Therefore, watering is a major management work of bonsai trees. Bonsai must be watered in an appropriate amount, and grasp the principle of "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly".

How to water and fertilize the stump bonsai

For bonsai stumps, watering should be considered according to tree species, seasons, and soil texture. For example, trees that like water should be watered more often. During the high temperature period, they can be watered once in the morning and evening, and once every few days in winter. Sandy soil should be watered more often than clayey soil. The dry and wet condition of the basin soil can be judged according to the growth of the leaves, the wilting of the leaves must be short of water, the sound of tapping the basin, the color of the basin soil surface and whether it is cracked or not.

The nutrients of potted soil are limited, in order to supply the necessary nutrients for bonsai tree growth, we should pay attention to supplement appropriate fertilizers. Generally speaking, bonsai trees grow slowly and do not need to fertilize too much, otherwise it will lead to overgrowth and affect the beauty of the trees.

When applying fertilizer, we should grasp the principles of timely, appropriate and appropriate amount, such as foliage tree species should apply more nitrogen fertilizer, flower and fruit tree species should apply more phosphate fertilizer. Fertilization can be applied in the spring, summer and autumn growth season, and stop in the winter dormant period; trees that have just come into the pot have not yet grown new roots and cannot be fertilized. Liquid fertilizer should not be too thick and must be diluted before it can be used, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage. Organic fertilizer and cake fertilizer must be fully ripened before they can be used, otherwise they will ferment in the basin soil to produce high temperature and burn the roots. Do not sprinkle liquid fertilizer and water on the leaves as topdressing. When should I apply fertilizer? Fertilizing is good in sunny days, but not in rainy days and rainy seasons.
