Summer watering skills of miniature bonsai

Watering bonsai plants is not only a common daily maintenance and management measure, but also one of the most basic work. In contrast, miniature bonsai is much more cautious than ordinary bonsai watering. After all, miniature bonsai is too delicate and needs more careful care. Especially in hot summer, watering seems to make many bonsai friends feel uncertain. In order to help you do a good job of watering miniature bonsai in summer, today the editor will share with you some tips on summer watering of miniature bonsai.

Through practice and experience summary, it is found that the watering work of miniature bonsai in summer often needs to pay attention to the aspects of water quality, water temperature, time and mode, as long as everyone can control the treatment of these aspects. I believe that generally there will not be any mistakes, and miniature bonsai will not have problems due to improper watering. Next, the editor will briefly talk about the handling skills in these aspects.

1. Ensuring water quality

The quality of water quality will play an important role in the growth state of bonsai plants, especially miniature bonsai often have higher requirements on water quality. Many people use tap water for convenience, but the quality of fresh tap water is relatively poor, especially it contains a lot of chlorine. If you have to use nature, it is recommended that you leave it to dry for a few days before using it until the chlorine has evaporated.

In addition, it is also inappropriate for water sources such as rice, tea, dishwashing and washing water to be used to irrigate plants, because the nutrients inside are often not yet fermented and mature, and direct watering is easy to cause damage to plants. and frequent use is also easy to cause soil consolidation, which brings some hindrance to the application of water and fertilizer in the later stage. Therefore, for these water sources, they must be fully fermented and mature before use, and then diluted and used to irrigate plants.

Of course, if you are raising fish at home, it is best to use it to irrigate plants, which is not only safe for water, but also can achieve the effect of topdressing. And the water in the fish tank is a softening source, and the nitrogen content in the water is also high, so using it to water plants has a very good effect. Of course, in addition to the water sources mentioned above, clean pure water can also be used to water plants, which is also very good.

Second, the water temperature is suitable.

Water temperature is an important aspect that affects plant growth, especially in summer, after all, the summer temperature is too high, if the water temperature is too low, it is easy to form a huge temperature difference after watering and cause "steamed stuffed bun effect", which is very disadvantageous to plant growth, especially to the roots. And even if it is watering, avoid the period when the temperature is highest at noon, and it is safer to water it in the morning and evening.

However, trees such as cuckoos, which are sensitive to water temperature, often need to be more cautious, because sudden watering makes the temperature in the basin soil change too much, especially the use of low-temperature tap water containing a lot of chlorine. It is easy to cause its flowers and leaves to fall. It can be seen that watering should not only ensure a suitable water temperature, but also need flexible watering for different tree species, which is often extremely critical for miniature bonsai trees.

Third, the time is right

When watering miniature bonsai in summer, the first thing to consider is whether the watering time is appropriate. The original is usually done to avoid the time of day with the highest temperature, and the best time is in the morning and evening. And watering is generally carried out after the basin soil dries, so as to "see dry and wet alternately". Due to the high temperature and hot weather in summer, water consumption and evaporation are relatively large, so watering should be timely and appropriate. For general tree species, the watering frequency of miniature bonsai is often lower than that of ordinary bonsai. After all, the plant is relatively small and the demand for water is much less. In terms of time, miniature bonsai is usually watered before 9am or after 4pm in summer.

IV. The way is correct

The ways of watering bonsai plants are soaking basin, irrigation, flushing, spraying and so on, but due to the influence of high temperature in summer, the watering of miniature bonsai often needs to choose the most scientific method. As miniature bonsai plants and flowerpots are often relatively small, watering should be carried out by spraying. If the water is directly watered or washed, the soil will often be washed out of the basin because the amount of water is too large. After all, the flowerpot is too small, so it is not easy to control the amount of water.

Comprehensive comparison, it is generally appropriate to choose the way of immersion basin or spray. Immersion basin is to put the miniature bonsai in shallow water and let the water diffuse into the soil in the basin through the outlet of the basin bottom, so as to achieve the purpose of replenishing water. Of course, the editor still recommends spray, because spray often makes water more evenly, and can also keep the branches and leaves of bonsai trees clean and fresh green. Miniature bonsai spray can not only achieve the purpose of replenishing water, but also facilitate the control of water volume, moisturizing and cooling effect, and more importantly, it can make miniature bonsai look more clean and tidy, with higher ornamental value.
