How to make a Monstera deliciosa bonsai: create a small, beautiful, elegant and graceful bonsai

Do you like Monstera deliciosa? It is a type of bamboo; its stems are green and very thick and sturdy. But grown as a potted plant at home, it is also very small and beautiful.

Monstera deliciosa likes moisture, so if you want to grow it, you need to water it thoroughly; if you cannot water it often, it will not do. It is best to make sure it is watered once a day, and in summer it is best to water it once in the morning and once in the evening, because summer temperatures are relatively high and the weather is relatively dry, and it also likes moisture, so it is best to mist its leaves and sprinkle a little water around it to keep the air moist. In winter you can be a little lazier and reduce the number of waterings.

When growing a Monstera deliciosa bonsai at home, the most important thing is to use it to create various shapes. Only when the potted Monstera deliciosa has been well shaped can it truly be considered a well-made potted plant that really achieves a good ornamental effect. Below are several Monstera deliciosa shapes that you can briefly learn about.

The first is the turtle-body shape. This shape is relatively simple; it means making the Monstera deliciosa into a bonsai shaped like a turtle, but it is not like a turtle shell as its name suggests, but rather like turtle feet. This kind of potted plant requires a relatively short Monstera deliciosa, and then you choose a seedling with a few leaves to arrange the shape. The choice of flower pot also has a big effect on the shape. This shape suits round or rectangular flower pots. When potting it, according to the growth of its aerial roots, divide it into a left side and a right side in a splayed shape, arranged to look like turtle feet.

Another shape is the upright soaring shape. This shape requires taking the frontmost stem tip from the mother plant for cuttings; after it sprouts and survives, use the wire previously inserted into the soil to bend its stem into a T shape. If this shape is done well, it looks especially spectacular.

Many people make Monstera deliciosa into a spiral-round shape. This shape requires more than two aerial roots. This shape is more suited to a round shallow pot, and wire needs to have been inserted into the soil beforehand. This shape is relatively complicated; if you want to learn about it, you can look at more ways of making this shape. A potted Monstera deliciosa can be made into whichever shape you like; the shape is crucial to making the potted plant, and if you really cannot do it well, you can also seek help from someone experienced.

Bamboo has always been used by people as a comparison to elegant people, so growing bamboo at home also looks very elegant and distinctive. This kind of potted plant is very small when grown at home, not as tall as other bamboos, because space at home is limited, so this plant is the best choice for a potted plant.
