How to Care for and Manage Fruit Tree BonsaisA topic related to the care and management of fruit tree bonsais and the key techniques of bonsai tree cultivation will be introduced by the editor below.Bonsais exude a unique charm, and many people think that caring for them is quite difficult. In fact, it just requires a bit more effort, and the difficulty level is not high. Beginners who want to keep bonsais well need to master the following basic skills.People who enjoy bonsais usually have a lot of patience and are meticulous with plants. It takes at least 5-6 years to cultivate a bonsai, requiring a long time to shape. Only then will the bonsai have character. Creating a bonsai not only requires artistic talent but also a certain amount of imagination.Bonsais are essentially large trees, 10 or even several decades old, planted in a small pot. This creates a small bonsai, which can actually bloom and bear fruit.Many trees are suitable for making bonsais. Trees that are suitable for beginners include common species like pine, banyan, maple, and zelkova. Other plants suitable for bonsais include ginkgo, holly, red maple, wolfberry, pomegranate, grape, wisteria, bougainvillea, camellia, azalea, and even common fruits from our daily lives can be turned into bonsais.Bonsais originated in our country, but now the Japanese are more fond of making them. Transforming a large tree into a mini version requires a lot of effort and patience. During the cultivation process, regular care is necessary. If they are not watered for a day or two, they will not grow well.When choosing plants for bonsais, one can opt for tropical or cold climate plants. If tropical plants are chosen, they must be moved indoors during the winter to avoid frostbite.Beginners usually buy bonsai plants directly from garden stores. The main considerations are whether the leaves are bright and the trunk is strong, as well as whether the shape is to their liking, for future shaping.How to Care for and Manage Fruit Tree BonsaisMore people prefer to cultivate using methods like cutting, layering, and then grafting, so they can start with the desired shape and slowly shape it themselves later.When initially cultivating a bonsai, it's not advisable to use a small pot but rather a larger one to ensure the plant's root system grows strong and absorbs enough nutrients. Strong roots will result in a robust plant.When planting, make sure not to let them spread out. The pot should be large, and when digging holes, make them larger to promote root growth.It's advisable to repot the bonsai once a year. During repotting, slightly trim the fibrous roots. Do this annually to slowly shape the roots into the desired form.Zelkova is very suitable for beginners to cultivate into a bonsai because it grows quickly and is easy to shape, while ginkgo grows very slowly and is much more challenging.To make the bonsai trunk stronger rather than taller, it's usually necessary to cut off the top of the plant, leaving three branches. Regular pruning is crucial. Cultivating a bonsai often requires several years to shape the main trunk and it requires occasional artificial intervention to maintain the twisted branches.There are many methods of artificial intervention, such as using ropes, cloth strips, or even wire to bend the branches of the bonsai into the desired shape.
