Bonsai Care Instructions

​

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the topsoil feels dry to the touch, ensuring even moisture throughout the pot.

Lighting: Place your bonsai in a location with ample natural light. Most species prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Consider supplemental grow lights if natural light is insufficient.

Pruning: Regularly trim branches and leaves to maintain your bonsai's shape and encourage healthy growth. Prune roots during repotting to prevent them from becoming pot-bound.

Feeding: Fertilize during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding during winter months when growth slows.

Humidity: Maintain a humid environment by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles under the pot.

Pest Control: Inspect your bonsai regularly for pests like aphids, spider mites, and scale. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Winter Care: For outdoor bonsai, provide protection from extreme cold by moving them to an unheated garage or using mulch. Indoor bonsai should be kept away from drafts and heating vents.

With proper care and attention, your bonsai will thrive and bring beauty and tranquility to your space for years to come.
