What are the cultivation methods of firethorn bonsai

Firethorn bonsai seedlings.

How to maintain it? The vitality of small seedlings is not as mature as large seedlings in all aspects, so some effort is needed in maintenance. The first is the selection of soil, we should choose some nutrient soil with good drainage and balanced nutrition or soil mixed with pastoral soil to ensure the nutritional supplement of seedlings.

The second point of watering should be reasonable, not blind watering, generally watering when dry, to maintain the moisture of the soil, you can use your fingers to try the dryness of the soil. The third point is reasonable fertilizer, we generally choose organic fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are OK, generally once in 2-3 months, will grow more vigorously, especially before flowering and fruiting, a lot of nutrients are needed, timely supplementation will make the fruit more and better-looking. The third point is that the light should be reorganized, they like a warm and humid environment, the care can not be less than 5 hours a day, and the high temperature in summer needs to be shaded.

The fourth point is proper pruning, not like other flowers overhaul and pruning, keep a good shape for appreciation, is a good leaf and fruit plant.

1. Soil: Firethorn does not have strict requirements for soil, but it is good for plant growth and development; Or should you choose a deep soil layer; The soil is loose, rich in organic matter, more fertile, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil is better for planting.

2. Watering: Firethorn is drought tolerant, but the soil is dry in spring, so you can water fertilizer once before flowering, and you should irrigate enough. During the flowering period, the soil is kept dry, which is conducive to fruit set; So don't overwater.

If the flowering period is in the rainy season, you should also pay attention to digging ditches and draining water to avoid the plants falling due to excessive moisture. After the fruit is ripe and harvested, it is filled with sufficient overwintering water before entering winter dormancy.

3. Sunlight: Firethorn likes sufficient light, and giving sufficient light can produce more fruits and greatly increase the ornamental effect.

4. Temperature: The optimal growth temperature of firethorn is 20 30. In addition, firethorn is also hardy, can still grow normally at -16, and overwinters safely.

If planted in a place where the temperature is higher than 10 in winter, the dormancy of the plant is not favorable, which will affect the flowering and fruiting of the next year.

If you want to grow vigorously of firethorn bonsai, you should use good drainage, loose and slightly acidic soil for maintenance, you can use humus soil, garden soil and then mix with an appropriate amount of cinder to maintain, so that the root system can better absorb nutrients and water, which is beneficial to growth. In addition, it should be noted that the soil should be changed every two or three years.

Its growth needs a sunny environment, usually should be placed in a well-lit place, sufficient sun will grow more robust, branches can germinate better, and more flowers will bloom in the later stage. However, in summer, it is necessary to pay attention to the timely shading source when there is strong light to avoid sunburn to the plants.

Watering it depends on the season. If it is in the spring and autumn season, it should be watered frequently, so that the soil is in a slightly wet state, and it is normal to water once every three to five days. When the temperature gets higher in the summer, you need to increase the frequency and water it every day.

In winter, the growth is slower due to low temperatures, so the amount of watering should be controlled, and the soil can be slightly dry better.

If you want it to grow more vigorously, you must give it plenty of nutrients. In the peak growing season, fertilizer should be applied every 10 days, and the fertilizer can be used with well-rotted organic fertilizer. Phosphate and potassium fertilizers should be added during flowering to promote bright flowers and longer flowering periods.

It can usually provide it with a temperature between 20-30 degrees Celsius, which is the most conducive to growth. Although it likes a warm environment, it is also hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius. In winter, it can be placed outdoors for the winter, and the temperature should not exceed 10 degrees, otherwise it will affect dormancy and be unfavorable to the growth of the next year.

Cultivation method: humus, garden soil, coal ash slag can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation; Light temperature management, it needs to be placed on the window sill with better lighting for maintenance, and the room temperature should be controlled between 20 and 30; Water and fertilizer management, during the vigorous growth period, it is necessary to water every 3 5 days and apply liquid fertilizer every 10 days. Notes:

Branches that are too messy need to be pruned.

1. Soil conditions

In order to make the firethorn bonsai grow more vigorously, it is necessary to choose a slightly acidic soil with loose and breathable air and strong drainage performance as the cultivation substrate. When mixing soil, humus, garden soil and an appropriate amount of coal ash slag can be mixed to make a substrate for cultivation. The potting soil needs to be sterilized and disinfected before use to reduce the growth of bacteria.

2. Light and temperature management

Firethorn is suitable for growing in a sunny environment, and it can be placed on a balcony or window sill with good lighting for daily maintenance, so that the branches can germinate better. When the sun is too strong in summer, it needs to be shaded in time. Avoid burning the blades.

In addition, the room temperature needs to be stabilized between 20 and 30 during the curing period and above 10 in the winter.

3. Water and fertilizer management

When watering firethorn daily. It is necessary to adjust the amount of watering according to the change of seasons, and in the spring and autumn seasons in the vigorous growth period, it is necessary to increase the amount of watering, which can be watered every 3 5 days to make the soil in a slightly moist state. In the summer high temperature season, it is necessary to increase the amount of watering, and it is necessary to water once a day.

And during the vigorous growth period, it is necessary to apply a well-rotted liquid fertilizer every 10 days.

In the natural state, the canopy of firethorn bonsai will appear very messy, which will affect the normal growth of the plant, and will also affect the fruiting rate, so it is necessary to prune off the branches and leaves, long branches and weak branches that grow too densely every year. It is also necessary to prune off the branches with excessive flower buds before flowering to reduce nutrient consumption.

When cultivating firethorn bonsai, it is necessary to choose loose and fertile, slightly acidic soil with strong drainage as the substrate for cultivation. During the daily maintenance of firethorn bonsai, it is necessary to ensure that the potting soil is in a slightly moist state, and give appropriate astigmatism irradiation so that firethorn bonsai can grow vigorously. When cultivating firethorn bonsai, it is also necessary to prune off the branches that grow messily and useless branches in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients.

In order to make firethorn grow vigorously, it is necessary to use loose and fertile, slightly acidic soil with strong drainage as the substrate for cultivation. Note that when cultivating firethorn bonsai, it is necessary to change the soil once a year to ensure that the soil is loose and breathable.

When cultivating firethorn bonsai, it is also necessary to give an appropriate amount of water. Firethorn is suitable for growing in a humid environment, and when cultivating firethorn bonsai on a daily basis, it is necessary to ensure that the potting soil is in a slightly moist state, but there can be no stagnant water. In winter, water evaporates more slowly, leaving the soil slightly dry.

Firethorn bonsai is suitable for growing in a sunny environment, and firethorn bonsai can be placed in a sunny position for maintenance every day, giving all-weather light, so that firethorn can grow vigorously. Note that in the summer, the sun is too strong, and you need to do a good job of shading measures to avoid the leaves on the table with strong light.

When cultivating firethorn bonsai, proper pruning is also required to increase the ornamentality of firethorn bonsai. Pruning can be carried out with sterilized sharp scissors, the amplitude of pruning should not be too large, only need to shorten the messy branches and useless branches on the firethorn bonsai, and prune off some dead branches and rotten branches, pruning is recommended to choose in autumn or summer, so that firethorn can resume growth as soon as possible.

Sunlight is inextricably linked to whether it can be maintained well, and this condition is very important, so it should be placed in a place with full sunlight for a year, such as a balcony or a bright window. Especially after autumn, there needs to be enough sunlight to encourage the plants to grow strong and grow into flower buds.

It can withstand drought and cannot live in humid conditions for long periods of time. As long as the potting soil is not completely dry, there is no need for watering. In summer and autumn, if the fruit is produced, it should not be too dry, ensure a certain amount of water replenishment, and if it does not bear fruit, it can be dried properly.

Since it blooms and bears fruit in large quantities, the replenishment of nutrients is very important. Fertilize every 15-30 days from the beginning of bud break in spring. In autumn, the demand for fertilizer becomes greater and can be applied every 10-20 days to ensure the growth of the plants.

The main types of fertilizers are organic fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium.

For the sake of plant growth, the buds of the plants that have not yet formed should be thinned when they bloom, so as to promote growth. When too much fruit comes into contact, it is also necessary to thin some of the fruit so that the remaining fruit can grow full.
