How to care for a rockery? Practical care methods and tips shared
Now many people place some rockery bonsai at home, which can make the living room and study more elegant. But although rockery bonsai are good-looking, most people do not know how to care for them. Let's take a look below at how to care for a rockery.
1. Types of rockery
The rockery bonsai currently on the market are divided into two main categories. One large category is the truly fake rockery bonsai, where both the stones and the flowers and plants are all fake, made from materials such as plastic. There is no need to say much about the care points for this kind of “rockery” bonsai; no matter what you do, you will not go wrong, unless the flowers and plants fade.
The other category is the real rockery bonsai. The stones chosen are mainly water stones or mountain stones, and on top of them are paired fresh moss and some small plants. This kind of rockery bonsai looks more like a landscape scene and can truly express a Chinese charm.
2. How to care for a rockery?
1. Take a spray bottle and water the stones and vegetation every morning and evening, especially the areas covered with vegetation. Be sure to use the spray bottle to spray repeatedly until thoroughly watered. Doing this can effectively reduce bacterial growth caused by standing water, and can also keep the rockery in a moist state at all times, making it more charming.
2. In addition, there is the issue of fertilizing these plants. Although they are all relatively small, if you want them to grow more vigorously and full of vitality, then you need to spray their soil once a month with diluted nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium organic compound fertilizer. Only in this way can the vegetation on the rockery bonsai grow more vigorously.
3. In the daily care process, everyone must remember to provide shade in summer, and in winter it is enough to take anti-freezing measures, because generally the vegetation growing on rockery bonsai has relatively poor resistance, so it needs careful care to stay beautiful for several years.
Different rockery potted plants have different plants grown on them, and some differ in care, so they should be cared for according to the actual situation.
