Abstract: This article explains the meaning of Tamarisk in feng shui and the introduction of green plant flowers regarding the planting methods of Tamarisk tree bonsai. Next, the editor will provide you with detailed answers.
Many flower enthusiasts, when choosing tree bonsai, generally choose trees with good meanings, believing that they can bring themselves some good luck, such as begonia, money tree, golden bullet, and money plant. This is quite understandable, as people are nurturing their beloved bonsai. If the tree has a good meaning, it can also be considered as a longing for a better life. However, if the tree is yin and has a bad meaning, even if the bonsai is beautiful, it is generally not kept at home.
Today, the editor will introduce a plant that is rarely kept due to "misunderstanding" - Tamarisk. Tamarisk is a type of positive tree species with strong vitality, which can grow in desert and dune areas. Therefore, local people usually like to keep this plant with strong vitality and beauty at home.
In fact, many people are not fond of Tamarisk because they do not truly understand the art of bonsai. If they did, they would generally like it! Because Tamarisk branches and leaves are very graceful, and the trunk is very dignified. If properly maintained, a Tamarisk bonsai can be very pleasing to the eye. Now, the editor will introduce the precautions and maintenance points for making a Tamarisk bonsai.
Maintenance points of Tamarisk:
1. Tamarisk is different from ordinary willows. It is a highly drought-resistant tree. However, if we plan to make a bonsai in our daily life, it is best to water more often, keeping the soil moist to better promote the growth of Tamarisk. Tamarisk leaves in a moist state will also be particularly green. Although it is a drought-resistant plant, there is no need to cultivate our beloved plants under harsh conditions. However, just as with the principle of "too much of a good thing can be bad," it is best to keep the soil moist but not overwater, as积水 in the pot can easily cause root rot and lead to the death of the plant.

2. Tamarisk is also known for its "extreme" pruning tolerance. Ordinary plants cannot be pruned too much, but this magical plant will grow more vigorously after pruning. Therefore, we can prune Tamarisk regularly to make it grow better. In autumn and winter, when Tamarisk loses its leaves, we can prune it more to avoid wasting too much nutrients, which is beneficial for better branch growth the following year. Moreover, pruning will enhance its ornamental value.
3. As Tamarisk is a positive plant, it prefers sunlight. It is best to place it in a sunny area, such as a balcony, to ensure that Tamarisk receives adequate sunlight every day, which is more beneficial for its growth. Of course, sunlight alone is not enough. We should also water Tamarisk regularly to keep the soil moist and fertilize it appropriately. Using ripe organic fertilizer is best.
In addition to daily maintenance, it is best to change the potting soil for the Tamarisk bonsai once a year. When changing the potting soil, prepare the fertilizer and soil in advance, preferably using loose soil. We can mix decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand, stir well, and this mixed soil is loose, breathable, and nutritious, suitable for plant growth. Then, apply some ripe organic fertilizer, which is beneficial for the better growth of Tamarisk after repotting. One thing to note is to remove any rotten roots during repotting.
In fact, a well-maintained Tamarisk bonsai is very beautiful, showing both the tree's resilience and the branches' grace after the wind. It is very captivating. If enthusiasts pursuing high-end options choose nice pots and stones to shape the Tamarisk bonsai, they will surely be able to cultivate a very beautiful one. A special tip: many flower enthusiasts mistake "Cheng" for "Guai." The editor of the Green Plant Enthusiast website saw this plant at a temple recently, and a lady next to it mispronounced it loudly. So, be careful not to mispronounce it when buying a bonsai! Those who like Tamarisk should take action now!
