Maintaining a bonsai is not nearly as difficult as usual. However, since bonsai are planted in small shells, some important basic principles have to be taken into consideration when watering, fertilising and repotting.

Bonsai watering / bonsai watering

The most important element in keeping the bonsai trees is proper irrigation. How often you need to water is dependent on several factors such as tree type, size of the tree, soil mix and the volume of the shell, season, climate, location, etc. Therefore, it is important to observe the tree closely so you can see the right time.

The fertilization of bonsai

It is important for your bonsai that they are thinned regularly during the growing season. Normal trees can expand their root system in search of nutrients. Bonsai, on the other hand, are planted in relatively small shells and must be fertilized in order to maintain the nutrient content of the substrate.

Bonsai repot

In order to prevent the balloon from becoming thicker and the bonsai to get hungry, regular repotting is essential. Replanting does not keep the tree small, but it provides the tree with fresh substrate that it needs to grow and thrive.

The site

It may be difficult to determine the best location for your bonsai because several factors (local climate, season, tree species etc.) have to be considered. The best thing is to know exactly which tree species you have and then look for special information.
