How to fertilize miniature bonsai

Although miniature bonsai has short plant type and fine branches and leaves, it still has the same morphological characteristics as ordinary bonsai, which can be described as a miniature version of bonsai, so it also needs to replenish nutrients in time to maintain growth like ordinary bonsai. The plant type of miniature bonsai is relatively small, and the demand for nutrients is naturally less, but the allocation of pots is also very small, so the space in the basin is destined to be very small, the amount of potted soil will be much less, and the nutrient content in the potted soil is naturally very small.

However, with the continuous growth of bonsai plants and the replacement of the new and the old, the nutrients in the basin will be quickly consumed. Therefore, timely replenishment of nutrients is also a problem that can not be ignored in the process of maintenance and management. The most direct way to replenish nutrients is to top fertilizer, so how to apply fertilizer to miniature bonsai? Today, the editor will share with you the fertilization method of miniature bonsai. I hope it will be helpful to you.

As the amount of soil in the flowerpot of miniature bonsai is very small, the fertility of miniature bonsai is naturally very limited, so timely replenishment of nutrients is one of the prerequisites to ensure that bonsai plants thrive. If miniature bonsai is in a state of lack of nutrients for a long time, it will also show the same poor growth as ordinary bonsai. For example, branches and leaves wilt, yellow, shedding and other phenomena. Of course, fertilization also needs to vary from tree to tree. if it is an ornamental tree species, it needs to apply some light fertilizer after flowering to restore the tree potential and reserve sufficient nutrients for the next round of flowering.

However, if it is an ornamental tree species, you can apply light fertilizer 1-2 times before flowering, original to ensure that there are enough nutrients to support flowering and fruiting, but after flowering, you also need to apply some fertilizers with a higher concentration in time to restore tree vigor and promote growth. This is mainly the topdressing work for flower and fruit tree species, but for deciduous tree species, there is often no need to apply too much fertilizer, otherwise branches and leaves will grow because of excessive nutrients, thus destroying the beauty of the original plant type. reduce the ornamental value of miniature bonsai.

In addition, the fertilization time of miniature bonsai also needs to be grasped. Generally, the way of soaking pot can be adopted to supplement some dilute liquid fertilizer for the plant before and after Ching Ming Festival, but it is often appropriate to use green manure and cake fertilizer. For foliage tree species, it is generally dominated by topdressing nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, while flowering and fruit tree species are just the opposite of foliage tree species, which are often dominated by topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and supplemented by nitrogen fertilizer.

Fertilization is not a management behavior that can be carried out anytime and anywhere. In addition to topdressing different fertilizers at different growth stages of tree species, topdressing usually needs to be combined with watering when the basin soil dries in a sunny day. This can not only achieve the purpose of topdressing, but also will not cause fertilizer damage. Especially in the rainy season, because the environmental temperature and humidity are relatively suitable, so bonsai trees germinate and branch quickly and need to consume a lot of nutrients, so they should be fertilized in time to supplement nutrients.
