Elm bonsai is watered several times a day in summer

Elm bonsai is more resistant to drought, but not resistant to waterlogging, and its root system is developed, strong water absorption capacity, but its luxuriant branches and leaves, so water evaporation is also large, water loss is relatively fast. In the spring and autumn growing season, we can generally keep watering once a week to meet its growth needs, but generally watering the basin soil after drying, at the same time to avoid stagnant water in the basin, so as to avoid retting roots and rotting roots. However, it is already summer, so how many times a day do elm bonsai be watered in summer?

For potted flowers and trees, summer water management is very important, and generally there is not a fixed standard or law to carry out. After all, the temperature in summer is not as mild and stable as in spring and autumn. Therefore, on the issue of watering, we need to do a good job in scientific management, especially in the details, often not carelessly. Perhaps because one of us inadvertently, it will often cause unnecessary damage to bonsai trees, thus affecting its normal growth.

For elm bonsai, its drought tolerance is strong, watering is generally dry and wet alternately, and the basin soil can not be watered until the basin soil becomes dry, especially if the basin soil is too humid for a long time, coupled with high temperature and poor ventilation, elm is also prone to growth problems, and even the risk of infection of diseases and insect pests will increase. Once found, it is necessary to adjust the means of management and protection, especially watering management, and take corresponding sterilization and pest control treatment in time to ensure that the plant can return to normal growth.

It's not fixed for elm bonsai to be watered several times a day in summer. Original because the weather is often changeable in summer, overcast and rainy are unpredictable. In sunny weather, especially in the middle of summer, due to the luxuriant branches and leaves of elm trees, high temperature and hot weather, water evaporation is naturally greater than in other seasons. Therefore, timely rehydration is very important. But generally still adhere to the basin soil drying under the condition of watering, in most cases is 1-2 days watering, and even need to water every day. Under normal circumstances, if the loss of water is relatively serious, it can be watered once a day. However, it is necessary to spray more water on the branches and leaves of the tree to cool down and moisturize.

However, even watering should not be carried out blindly in summer. First of all, we need to avoid the hottest period of the day on a sunny day, usually in the morning or evening, especially in the light, we should be more careful to avoid a huge temperature difference in the moment after watering and damage the trees. Not only that, but also water spraying should avoid the hottest period of the day, and it is also necessary to avoid instantly evaporating and absorbing heat due to hot weather and high temperature, causing too much temperature difference locally and harming trees.

It should be noted that many potted friends appeared the phenomenon of wilting and shedding of plant branches and leaves soon after watering elm bonsai in summer, and even the phenomenon of elm withering and dying. This is mainly due to improper watering, which is often overwatered and the excess water in the basin is not drained in time. It seems that people do not replenish water in accordance with the principle of "do not water or water thoroughly". Instead, it is often carried out on the basis of how many times a day. In fact, this is very unscientific, so it needs to be eliminated.
