Maintenance skills of Begonia bonsai in autumn

Now it is autumn, and when the weather gets cold, we have to move the crabapple indoors for maintenance in time, and the lowest temperature should be kept above 7 °C, because the crabapple has poor cold resistance and is prone to frostbite in winter. In addition, what else do we need to do for the maintenance and management of begonia bonsai in autumn?

After entering autumn, as the temperature gradually drops, the weather gradually turns cool, so the watering of crabapple bonsai should be adjusted accordingly, because watering should be carried out according to the season of the plant. After entering autumn, begonia enters the growing period, and the amount of water can be increased appropriately to keep the basin soil moist.

And it is precisely because autumn is the growing season of begonia, the original consumption of nutrients is relatively high, so timely topdressing also plays an important role in restoring its growth. We can keep applying thin compound fertilizer to begonia once a week, but we should avoid splashing the fertilizer on the leaves to avoid burns. After entering the colder winter, stop fertilizing in time.

Generally speaking, after the leaves fall in autumn, we need to prune the bonsai of begonia, mainly to cut off the old, weak, sick and disabled branches. This is mainly to reduce the consumption of nutrients, so that the plant has sufficient nutrients to enhance the tree potential. At the same time, it can also improve the ventilation and light transmittance of the plant, which is more conducive to the flowering of begonia, making it blossom more and more gorgeous.

As for the overly vigorous begonia, it is also necessary to change the basin and soil. Because begonia is not very strict on basin soil, we generally prepare sandy soil with fertile and loose soil, deep soil layer and strong permeability, because begonia prefers to grow in such soil.
