2. How do you care for a yew bonsai so it grows well?

As a national first-class rare protected tree species in our country, private felling is not permitted, but legally cultivated yew bonsai can be bought, sold and grown. Its care methods are described below:

1. Planting soil for yew

The yew is a shallow-rooted plant with the characteristics of preferring shade, tolerating drought and resisting cold. The suitable planting soil is a loose, moist, well-drained sandy loam with a pH value of 5.5-7.0. For the planting container, it is best to choose one with drainage holes at the bottom. If you make a bonsai yourself, you can choose a ceramic flower pot slightly larger than the plant, and fill it with soil mixed from peat soil, perlite and loam.

2. Light and temperature for yew

The yew is a plant that prefers shade and tolerates drought, suitable for placing indoors, and ordinary light is enough. During the hotter weather from June to September each year, do not expose it to direct strong light, as it easily damages the chlorophyll; you can set up a shade frame or simply move it to a cool, ventilated place. However, no light at all will also affect the growth of the yew, so do not place it at the air outlet of an air conditioner or next to a heater, as that will cause the water in the yew's leaves to be lost quickly, leading to dehydration of the branches and leaves, and finally the leaves curling and withering. In addition, the yew does not have high temperature requirements; as long as high temperatures do not exceed 38 degrees C for a long time, there will generally be no growth problems.

3. Watering the yew

When watering a yew bonsai, water thoroughly when you water, do not let it be wet on top and dry below, and do not pour too much at one time; pour it in slowly and wait for the water to slowly seep into the soil below. Generally, in spring and autumn it is enough to water thoroughly once every 5-7 days, while in summer water thoroughly once every 3-5 days; in winter, water thoroughly again every 7-10 days. Here we also remind gardening friends that during the plum rain season or continuous rainy days, watering of the yew bonsai should be reduced.

4. Fertilizing the yew

For fertilizing the yew, you can buy ready-made fertilizer from a flower market yourself. Generally, apply a leaf fertilizer once about every two months, and during the flowering and fruiting period use a flower-and-fruit fertilizer to promote growth. In addition, you can also apply a homemade fully decomposed liquid fertilizer, fertilizing in a manner of small amounts applied many times.

During the care process, the yew also needs to have dry, yellow and fallen leaves removed and the excessively dense lower branches and trunks pruned. In this way, nutrient consumption can be reduced and the graceful tree shape can be maintained.
