How to Cultivate Yellow Deer Wood Bonsai 1 and Site Selection
Reed likes light, so bonsai should be placed in a place with sufficient light and good ventilation. In general, reed bonsai can be planted outdoors, but in Xia Dong, reed bonsai must be placed indoors to avoid direct sunlight.
2. Water and moisturizing
Reed bonsai is not suitable for growing in too humid environment. When watering, you should pay attention to avoid water accumulation in the basin, just keep the soil moist. During the reed growth period, water can be sprayed into the soil to increase the air humidity. At other times, the soil conditions should be observed, and watering can only be carried out when the soil in the basin turns white.
3. Control fertilization
Reed likes fertilizer and grows fast, so it is necessary to control regular fertilization. If used frequently, it will accelerate the growth of reeds and lead to poor ornamental effect of bonsai. When applying fertilizer, the concentration and dosage of fertilizer should be reduced. Spring and autumn are the vigorous growth periods of reeds. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the health of plants and apply fertilizer to supplement nutrition, while Xia Dong does not need to apply fertilizer in two seasons.
4. Dressing and shaping
Reed bonsai grows fast. Prune the branches and leaves every spring, cut off the branches that are too dense to affect the shape, and then tie the redundant branches to make them dense and orderly. If necessary, replace the flowerpots to ensure the ornamental value and overall beauty of the reed bonsai.
