How to care for a Polygonum multiflorum bonsai? You need to master these few methods

  When people mention Polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu), many friends only know that it can be used as medicine, but many people do not know that it can actually also be enjoyed as an ornamental plant. Polygonum multiflorum can not only be made into a bonsai for people to admire, but its care and management are also very simple. If you do not even know that Polygonum multiflorum can be made into a bonsai, then I believe you certainly do not know how to care for and manage it either.

  How to care for a Polygonum multiflorum bonsai? Today, the editor will introduce to you the care and management techniques for a Polygonum multiflorum bonsai.

  1. Soil

  Polygonum multiflorum is not very strict about soil requirements. Ordinary soil can meet its growth needs, but the soil needs to have strong water permeability, so that water does not accidentally accumulate in the pot during future management. Long-term water accumulation in the pot will seriously harm the growth of Polygonum multiflorum.

  2. Sunlight

  From the growth characteristics of Polygonum multiflorum, we know that it likes a warm but humid environment, and it is very cold-resistant. Since Polygonum multiflorum likes warmth, the editor suggests placing the Polygonum multiflorum bonsai in a place where it can easily receive sunlight for cultivation.

  2. Environment

  Polygonum multiflorum is a vine plant, so the cultivation site should be chosen in a relatively open place, such as a balcony. On the balcony, we can set up a trellis for it to climb on.

  4. Watering

  As we said earlier, Polygonum multiflorum likes a humid environment. If the soil is too dry, it will easily cause its root tubers to dry out and die. Therefore, we need to do a good job of watering it, but watering also needs to be done in moderation. Most plants will have problems because the roots are too waterlogged, and Polygonum multiflorum is no exception. If water accumulates in the pot of a Polygonum multiflorum bonsai for a long time, it will cause root rot.

  5. Fertilizing

  Polygonum multiflorum is not very demanding when it comes to fertilizer, but if the soil itself is very fertile and has high fertility, then its growth will be better. After all, Polygonum multiflorum is a fertilizer-loving plant. Before planting, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied to increase soil fertility, and during later care and management, multiple additional fertilizings can also be carried out.

  6. Pruning

  As we said earlier, Polygonum multiflorum likes open areas and is good at climbing, so during the care process we cannot just watch it develop endlessly like that! Therefore, we sometimes need to carry out necessary heading cuts and pruning on it. On one hand, this can keep the plant well ventilated; on the other hand, it can also improve its ornamental value, and Polygonum multiflorum itself is tolerant of pruning.
