4 essential small precautions for caring for your bonsai at home.
Bonsai is a very common plant in homes and is known for its particular shape: it looks like a miniature tree.
Bonsais, however, are also very delicate plants and need specific care and attention to grow to their full potential.
So let’s see what precautions to take into account when caring for your bonsai.
- Light : Bonsai is a plant that needs direct light, so it should be placed in a warm spot. During the summer it can also be outdoors.
- Water: You need to water the bonsai once every 3 days. In the warmer season, you can also steam the leaves every day to refresh them. But be careful with excess water: it could rot.
- Pot : it may seem obvious but the container that houses the plant is a fundamental factor. Choose the container that perfectly suits the size of the plant and change it based on its growth.
- Pruning: in addition to giving the plant an orderly shape, pruning also serves to take care of the plant itself. Cut the shoots carefully and gently.
