Bonsai Plant Care
Bonsai plants are very similar to Bonsai trees in so far as if
you give them a lot of care and attention and keep them healthy
you will get a beautiful miniature plant in return. There are
many different varieties of plant that you can use to create
Bonsai plants. Some plants require very precise care routines to
maintain a healthy and aesthetically pleasing plant, but
regardless of what breed of plant you are using there are some
basic guidelines to follow that will keep your plant in
condition. All of these tips will be dependant on the type of
plant you buy but are meant as rough guides only.
Temperature.
Indoor Bonsai plants will need protection from the elements
during cold weather because many of them are tropical or
subtropical plants. The singly most effective form of protection
is bringing them indoors. However, if you are planting your
Bonsai outdoors you should plant them somewhere where they are
protected from wintry conditions. Alternatively it does a plant
a lot of good if you put them out for some warm weather when the
risk of frost is gone completely. The humidity indoors can cause
dehydration of Bonsai plants, which is the biggest killer of
these timid plants.
Watering.
It is important to water Bonsai early in the day before

the
temperature lowers in the evening. The type of plant you have
will determine the watering regime you need to undertake. How
much moisture the plant needs is a very important factor and you
should always water the soil as thoroughly as possible to ensure
that all the roots get a good watering.
Light.
Because the sun is at it's brightest and strongest between the
hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. you should try as far as possible to
keep your Bonsai out of the sunlight between these hours. It is
also important to remember that electrical items around the
house give off a very humid heat that can damage not only the
leaves of you Bonsai but can also dehydrate your plants or trees
and eventually kill them. It's also important to alter your
watering schedule to meet the demands of increased light, heat
and humidity.
Fertilizing.
You can use fertilizers to help the growth of your Bonsai
plants, but it's best to use mild ones that only contain trace
elements. Trees are usually fed during the growing season to
help with their growth and shouldn't be used in either plants or
trees during dormant growth periods.
