How to Care for an Indoor Bonsai

A bonsai plant is a striking reminder of a longstanding art. Because bonsai trees are so attractive, many people love to display them in their houses. Indoor bonsai trees will need extra care since they do not reap the full benefits of natural sunlight and natural weather conditions. Although they might look quite hardy, a bonsai can be very delicate, requiring precision watering and lighting.

Watering Your Indoor Bonsai

When you bring a bonsai tree indoors it will require sufficient lighting to replace the natural sunlight that it would have been receiving outdoors. It’s important to place your tree in a location with good ventilation. How frequently you water your bonsai will depend on what kind it is and the condition of its soil. Some plants or trees need to have damp soil while others thrive well in spite of a drought.

A bonsai plant will respond well to frequent misting as it soaks up the humidity. You can use a humidity tray, but be certain that your pot is placed on some small rocks or a stand, and not sitting directly in the water.

Pruning and Cutting

The indoor bonsai tree will still need to be regularly pruned and cut to maintain its appearance. Bonsais often appear changeless; however, they are definitely a living, growing tree. A bonsai tree needs to be repotted somewhere between one to three years, depending on the type, whether it’s an outdoor or indoor plant. As well, you’ll need to give proper maintenance to the branches in order to preserve its distinctive style.

Depending on what species your bonsai is, you will need to cut back on the fertilizer when it is winter time. This is due to the fact that some bonsai species become dormant in this season, and will not need the level of nutrients that they do in the warmer seasons. Your indoor bonsai might not fully experience the whole cycle of seasons because it is in an artificial environment.

It’s important to check your indoor bonsai for pests and any other abnormalities that might show up. Since they’re indoors, they will likely attract mites and spiders from the outside. Use a soft, damp cloth or brush to carefully clean the branches and leaves of an indoor bonsai.
