Abstract: As a common indoor green plant, yew bonsai not only has ornamental value, but also has a good effect in purifying air and regulating humidity. However, if we don't pay attention to watering techniques during the maintenance process, it may cause the yew plants to wither, the branches and leaves to turn yellow, etc.
As a common indoor green plant, yew bonsai not only has ornamental value, but also has a good effect in purifying air and regulating humidity. However, if we don't pay attention to watering techniques during the maintenance process, it may cause problems such as wilting of yew plants and yellowing of branches and leaves. This article will introduce you to how to scientifically water to ensure the healthy growth of yew bonsai.
1. Understand the water requirements of yew. yew is a shade-loving plant, but it requires a large amount of water, especially during growth. When watering, we must reasonably adjust the water consumption and watering frequency according to the growth conditions of yew and environmental conditions.
2. Correct choice of watering tools The choice of watering tools is also an important factor affecting the watering effect. Generally speaking, watering with a fine-mouthed spray can or drip irrigation device is more suitable for yew bonsai. This avoids excessive watering and water waste.
3. Pay attention to the choice of water quality. Water quality also has an impact on the growth of plants. Generally speaking, clean tap water or purified water should be chosen for watering and water sources containing large amounts of chlorine and other chemicals should be avoided, which can cause harm to yew bonsai.
4. Ensure the temperature of the water. Yew likes a warm and humid environment, so we must also ensure that the water temperature is suitable when watering. Generally speaking, tap water at room temperature can be used directly, but if the temperature is too low or too high, appropriate adjustments should be made first.
5. Following the principle of superficial dampness When watering, we must pay attention not to make the soil too wet or too dry, but to keep the surface of the soil moist. This can be achieved by spraying water or dripping water on the surface of the basin soil for regular watering.
6. Avoid root flooding. Root flooding is very dangerous for yew bonsai. When watering, we should avoid leaving excess water at the bottom of the basin. We can use the basin bottom drainage device or pour out the excess water to keep the soil moderately moist.
7. Ensure ventilation. The yew bonsai also needs ventilation, otherwise it will lead to problems such as excessive humidity and the breeding of pests and diseases. After watering, we can use natural ventilation or artificial ventilation to exhaust air to maintain a good growing environment.
8. Reasonably watering yew bonsai according to the season and climate. The watering needs of yew bonsai are also affected by seasonal and climate changes. When the summer temperature is higher, the yew requires greater water, so the number of watering should be increased at this time; while when the winter temperature is lower, the growth rate of yew will also slow down, so the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced.
As a common indoor green plant, the healthy growth of yew bonsai is closely related to watering skills. During the maintenance process, we must understand the water demand of yew, choose appropriate watering tools and water sources, follow the principle of superficial dampness, avoid root flooding, ensure ventilation, and reasonably water according to the season and climate. Only by doing this can the yew bonsai grow healthily and vigorously.
