CUIDADOS<\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Outdoors, where it gets 2 to 3 hours of direct sun per day (ideally in the morning or late in the day), sheltered from strong winds and frost. They like sunny spots and, in winter, the cold (which will encourage good fruiting).<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Watering<\/strong>: Water the soil thoroughly until plenty of water runs out of the drainage holes to evenly moisten the substrate, always from above (never by immersion), using a very fine-rose watering can (specific for Bonsai).<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between each watering (to check if the plant needs water, touch the soil with your fingers).<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Although very weather-resistant, they have high water needs, especially during flowering and fruiting. Avoid watering the flowers so you don\u2019t damage them.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a dish under the Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent the roots from rotting).<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

There is no advantage in spraying the leaves, only do it on days when you fertilise and if the fertiliser is specifically for foliar application, but make sure they get dry at night to avoid fungus.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Nutrition<\/strong>: Start in February and finish in September\/October, with “<\/span>Bio<\/span> bonsai” and “<\/span>Fertil<\/span> bonsai”; it has high micronutrient needs, so you should top up with “Micro Bonsai”. “P\/K Bonsai” is an excellent flowering booster and fungus preventative.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Pruning<\/strong>: Keep the shape by cutting back to the first leaves and apply “<\/span>Metsumi<\/span>” to keep the leaves small.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Structural pruning can be done at the end of winter, respecting the flower buds (plumper), or alternatively in summer (with or without <\/span>defoliation<\/span>) as it hasn\u2019t formed flower buds yet.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Repotting<\/strong>: With “Terra <\/span>Bonsai-Folhosas<\/span>” and “<\/span>Rhiza<\/span> Bonsai”, at the end of winter before flowering starts; on weakened plants, in the repotting year you should remove the flowers as they appear so the plant doesn\u2019t exhaust itself.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Wiring<\/strong><\/span>: Before flowering, or in early summer with <\/span>defoliation<\/span> total or partial.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
