1. Soil: the acidic soil with thick soil, good drainage performance and good air permeability is suitable for cultivating cedar bonsai. Such soil can provide it with sufficient nutrient demand and make it grow stronger

2. Moisture: cedar bonsai has certain drought resistance. When watering, just keep the soil layer moist. It is not suitable to have too much water. Cedar bonsai is afraid of water stains, and ponding storage will cause root rot

3. Nutrients: the time of fertilization is from April to May. Select human manure and cake fertilizer and sprinkle them evenly on the soil. Don't get too close to the root to cause burns. It's best to apply fertilizer twice or three times a year

4. Light: I like to grow in a place with sufficient light and have a little shade resistance. Mild sunlight can make its branches and leaves thick, branches strong, and the tree shape more complete and beautiful

2. Dry blight: in rainy days or relatively humid environment, it is most likely to infect mycelium. This kind of mycelium absorbs water and expands, and then invades the pores of cedar leaves, which directly leads to the drying of branches and leaves. The control method is to use carbendazim dilution and spraying

4、 Other issues
