Caring for Your Indoor Bonsai
Bonsai plants are the stunning result of an ancient practice. There are many people who choose to have bonsai plants in their homes because of their beautiful appearance. However, extra care is needed for indoor bonsai trees. This is largely due to the fact that they don’t get the full range of benefits that sunlight and normal weather conditions provide. Perhaps they look like they can withstand anything. But certain types of bonsai are quite picky in their water and light requirements.
Watering Your Indoor Bonsai
When you bring a bonsai tree indoors it will require lighting to replace the natural sunlight that it would have been receiving beforehand. You will also need to monitor how often it is watered. Bonsai plants will also be benefited if they are placed in a well ventilated area. The amount of water you give your bonsai hinges on which variety you have. Soil is another important consideration. Very dry soil works well for some species of bonsai, while some others prefer their soil to be quite moist.
It may be necessary for you to mist your plant. Your bonsai will thrive with the extra humidity and the rainforest environment this creates. If you use a humidity tray, be certain that the pot isn’t placed directly in the water; instead it should be sitting on a stand or some stones.
Bonsai Cutting and Pruning
Indoor bonsai trees still require pruning and cutting on a regular basis in order to maintain their appearance. Simply because bonsai plants look as though they are frozen in time, does not mean that they do not grow. Depending on the variety of your bonsai plant or tree, you will need to repot it every year to three years. It is also important to maintain the branches to keep its style intact.
It is important, depending on the variety of bonsai, to cut back on the fertilizer during the winter season. This is due to the fact that there are certain species of bonsai that hibernate during the season. So they don’t require as many nutrients as in the warmer months. Indoor bonsais may not fully experience the full cycle of seasons because it is in an artificial environment.
You should also watch out for pests and any unusual changes to your indoor bonsai tree. An indoor bonsai is very attractive to mites, spiders and other pests. Carefully cleaning the branches and leaves with a soft brush or moistened cloth is the best approach.
By following these tips for bonsai care, your tree is sure to be an attractive feature of your home for years to come.
