Cultivation methods of five-needle pine:

Moderate light

Five-needled pine is a neutral plant and can grow in sunny or shady places, but When maintained in a place with sufficient sunlight and good air circulation, the needles will grow green and strong; in places with insufficient sunlight and hot weather, the needles will grow thin and become yellow easily. It is best to give the five-needle pine more than 5-6 hours of light every day and maintain good ventilation conditions. However, in the hot noon of midsummer, in order to prevent the needles from being exposed to excessive sunlight and causing scorching of the leaves, measures such as shading can be taken. At other times, they can be allowed to fully receive sunlight.

Control watering

The watering of the five-needled pine bonsai should be moderate. The flower proverb goes "dry the pine and wet the cypress", which means that the five-needle pine should be dry. In summer, the temperature is high and the pot soil is easy to dry. Generally, watering is done once in the morning and evening, and it must be watered enough in the morning. In the evening, it depends on the dryness and wetness of the pot soil. During showers, it is necessary to cover the soil in time to avoid loss of nutrients in the soil.

Regular fertilization

Fertilization is the key to raising five-needle pine, and it can be combined with watering. The weather is hot from July to August, so it is advisable to apply 10% thin fertilizer and water once every half month. In addition, it should be noted that the five-needle pine should be shaded after fertilization and should not be exposed to sunlight.

Pruning time

For the shaped pine bonsai, in order to maintain its inherent shape and posture, it needs to be trimmed every year. However, pruning of the five-needle pine should be carried out during its dormant period in winter, and must not be pruned in the midsummer season, otherwise a large amount of rosin will flow out of the wound and affect the growth of the five-needle pine.
