How to grow bonsai plants:

1. Watering

How to water is an important factor affecting the growth of bonsai plants. As with ordinary plants, follow the principle of "don't water until dry, and water thoroughly when you do." That is, when the soil surface of the bonsai plant is still moist, it should not be watered further; if the soil surface has dried out, it should be watered to replenish moisture. This is a scientific growing method for most plants. Generally speaking, in spring water once every 3~4 days or so, in summer once a day, and in winter it is best to keep it to once a week or longer, with the specific practice depending on the situation.

2. Light

Plants inevitably need light, because light helps them carry out photosynthesis, and only then can such plants grow more healthily and naturally. Generally speaking, bonsai plants should be kept to a frequency of 2~3 times a week in the sun, and at ordinary times they should just be placed in an environment where sunlight is visible. If the bonsai plant is kept on a balcony all the time, it should not be left in a state of prolonged exposure to strong sun, and it needs to be moved to a place with moderate light.

3. Temperature

The temperature suitable for bonsai plants to grow is between 20~35°C. Generally speaking, letting the plants endure some cold is also good for growth. So, in the season when the temperature is at its lowest, the bonsai plant can be placed outdoors for about ten days, then moved back indoors.

4. Shape

When a bonsai plant is first bought, its shape is very good, but after a period of time the flowers, leaves and branches will naturally grow into different forms. In order to maintain the shape, or change it into the form we want, it should be pruned periodically, and the position of the pruned branches and leaves should be at the axil. Pruning methods include: bud pinching, leaf pruning, branch pruning, root pruning, etc.

Prices of bonsai plants:

The price of bonsai plants is tied to the plant species, growth form, plant size, tree age, etc. Ordinary bonsai plants range from just over ten yuan to several hundred yuan, such as Buddhist pine, red plum tree, asparagus fern, banyan tree, Chinese yew, elm, small-leaf red sandalwood, orange osmanthus, Ming fern, red maple, etc. But rare tree species or uniquely shaped plants are a different matter; these bonsai plants are relatively expensive, ranging from over a thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.

So how do you grow lingzhi bonsai?

Lingzhi potted cultivation is very simple. It needs neither watering nor fertilizing, nor sunlight or rain and dew. It only needs frequent daily spraying with water, and every few days wiping the surface of the lingzhi fruiting body with a damp cloth to wipe away the fine dust adhering to it so that its original bright colors are restored. Sometimes, in order to increase the fresh and glossy degree of the lingzhi fruiting body surface, plant oil such as walnut oil or rapeseed oil can also be used.

Because lingzhi itself is a fungus plant, it does not like sun, and it needs to be placed indoors. After lingzhi stops growing, its volume is fixed, and it will eject spore powder. The spore powder stays on the surface of the lingzhi. In order not to affect its appearance, it is recommended to collect the lingzhi powder with a small brush (a toothbrush also works).
