The maintenance of Podocarpus is mainly to raise roots, and the roots are well raised. Pine needles are tall and strong, and new needles are taken, which are flourishing and beautifully shaped. It's boring to make branches with beautiful needles and shapes, but branches can't be straight without needles. The so-called people rely on loose needles, and they need green needles to match sarira in time. People who like Luohansong bonsai will keep a lot of materials. A good bonsai shape and a well-maintained Lohan pine bonsai look like a kind of enjoyment. Outsiders see it as wood, bonsai people see it as a work of art.
Podocarpus is a shade-tolerant plant. During its growing period, water it often, but be careful not to accumulate water in the basin. Podocarpus root is afraid of waterlogging. If watering is too frequent, it's spring now, and the temperature is low, so it's easy to have late spring cold, so the water demand is not much. Too much watering is easy to accumulate water and rot roots, water too often, the soil in the basin is too damp, and cold in late spring is easy to frostbite roots.
After Podocarpus comes into spring, in order to produce more new needles and branches, we will apply fertilizer about a week after watering the thawed water, but fertilization is very particular, especially for Podocarpus in potted plants, which is easy to burn roots when the concentration is too high. Fertilization should be applied at the edge of the flowerpot instead of around the roots, which will also burn the roots.
Luohansong bonsai likes water very much. When we maintain, the soil must be moist, so that the roots can better absorb nutrients and water. When we water it, we should also water it properly, otherwise it will have an impact on the growth of Podocarpus bonsai.
If the maintenance of the upper pot turns yellow, it is necessary to pay attention to the yellowing of the needles of Podocarpus after entering the pot to avoid fertilization. Fertilization can easily change the osmotic pressure of potted soil, leading to root dehydration. For example, if we eat too much salt, the pine needles of Podocarpus will turn yellow.
When maintaining the Podocarpus bonsai, it needs to be placed in a place where sunlight is scattered, not in a place with strong sunlight, nor in a dark and humid place, otherwise its growth will definitely be limited and its leaves may turn yellow.
If you want to make the bonsai of Arhat pine more ornamental, you should do a good job of pruning and cut off the redundant branches and dry branches. This will not only lack sufficient nutrients, but also make the leaves grow faster and look more stylish. Moreover, the bonsai of Podocarpus can be pruned all year round.
The most suitable growth temperature of Podocarpus bonsai is 15-28 degrees Celsius. The best soil for the maintenance of Podocarpus bonsai is fertile and slightly acidic soil with good drainage, and Podocarpus is more drought-tolerant. We can also apply a thin layer of fertilizer solution to it in spring.
If indoor maintenance, poor ventilation, inappropriate humidity, poor temperature and humidity adjustment, unreasonable pH value of basin soil and poor hardening and air permeability of basin soil will all affect root activity.
No matter what plants are, they are afraid of waterlogging and water accumulation. Pay attention to the amount and times of watering when watering.
