Ficus bonsai care

1. Humidity: Improper watering does great harm to ficus bonsai. Feel the condition of the potting soil by hand, and follow the principle of "water when dry, and water thoroughly when you do." Do not water frequently; when you water, water thoroughly. Too much watering will cause root rot and make the leaves drop. In the north it is more difficult to care for, and households should spray the leaves with water more often to increase the humidity in the surrounding air.

2. Temperature: For ficus bonsai, the suitable growing temperature should not vary too much between day and night (a difference of 10 degrees) as this easily causes leaf drop and death. Usually pay attention to placing it in a place with good light transmission, and in summer pay attention to appropriate shading.

3. Potting soil: Use loose, well-draining leaf mold soil, usually in the ratio of garden soil : humus soil : sand (2:2:1). It is best to place moss on top of the bonsai in a size matching the pot; this is both attractive and plays a very good role in drainage and aeration.

4. Fertilizing: Ficus bonsai likes fertilizer for growth, but fertilizing too many times will harm the growth of the ficus bonsai. The amount of fertilizer applied should also vary according to the season.

5. Pruning: During the peak growing season, pinch the growing tips and remove buds from the plant, and carry out a major pruning once in autumn, after which no pruning is done, because the plant grows slowly in winter and should not be pruned in winter. Pruning the branches of a ficus bonsai should be done by a specialist, cutting off leggy branches, twin branches, diseased and weak branches, crossing branches and so on to give the whole plant a layered beauty.
