Bonsai is different from ordinary potted plants. Most of the roots of bonsai are usually exposed outside the soil layer, and the soil itself is very shallow for beauty, which greatly reduces the absorption of water and nutrition by bonsai plants. Therefore, in extreme weather like summer, if you don't pay attention to it, the bonsai may be in bad condition

Now Huahua will share with you some tips on the maintenance of bonsai in summer. By the way, enjoy the expensive bonsai maintained by the great God

▲ like a lush virgin forest

1. Avoid drought

Some of our flower friends live a full life. Sometimes they are busy and don't water our beloved bonsai for a long time. This is the first taboo

▲ elegant and romantic, full of classical beauty

Although the watering should be done thoroughly before watering, and the pile body can adapt to the environment, the water transpiration is relatively strong in summer, and the extreme dry state for a long time is easy to damage the roots of the bonsai, and the branches that are not easy to grow wither, which is not worth the loss. As for the frequency of watering, it is more appropriate to quickly pour through the basin soil when it is dry

▲ there is a gust of westerly wind, moving in silence and static in motion, which is quite interesting

2. Avoid water stains

Some flower friends are just opposite to the above. They pay too much attention to their bonsai. They think it is dry and evaporates quickly in summer, so they pour it every day when they are idle. This is the second big taboo

▲ the lines are smooth and the flowing law is dynamic. It is really worthy of being a priceless bonsai

If the basin soil is too wet for a long time, coupled with the high temperature in summer, the hot air will be stuffy in the soil and can't disperse for a long time. In this way, the roots of the bonsai can't breathe or absorb nutrients, and they will "drown". Therefore, don't water every day. It's not too late to see the basin soil dry

▲ it's like a tiger going down the mountain and taking off with four hooves, with extraordinary momentum

3. Burning in the dying sun

Many flower friends may think that bonsai grows too slowly, so they put it in the sun and hope it will grow up quickly. This is the third taboo

▲ perfect sense of hierarchy

Bonsai is not more beautiful than meat. On the contrary, because of the characteristics of poor water storage, the water obtained from the roots of bonsai is far less than the transpiration speed. Not only does it grow faster after exposure to the sun, it will burn and die. When the temperature exceeds 28 ℃, it's time to shade. Remember not to put it on Nanyang terrace

▲ back against the cliff, towering ancient trees

4. Avoid sudden Yin

Seeing the burning sun above, flower friends may have to rub their hands and prepare to move bonsai. Wait, Huahua hasn't finished yet. Even if you have kept the bonsai in the sun before, you can't suddenly move back to the semi shade, because this is the fourth taboo

▲ the crane bows its head for good luck

Now everyone's home is equipped with air conditioning, and the temperature is relatively low. Once you suddenly transfer the bonsai from the high-temperature outdoor to the low-temperature indoor, the potted plants will be unable to adapt for a while, and the yellow leaves and fallen leaves, so everyone will be very distressed. Therefore, Huahua today reminds you to move to the shade, but also step by step and take your time

▲ Flying Dragon into the sea, majestic and shocking

5. Avoid fertilization

We all know that summer bonsai grows slowly. Some flower friends want to apply some fertilizer from time to time to urge our small bonsai. This is the fifth taboo

▲ the steep peak will lean, but it will stand safely and steadily, with a good artistic conception

Due to the high temperature in summer, the leaves lose water quickly. If fertilization is applied now, the solution concentration in the soil will be higher than that of plant cells, so that the water will flow back into the soil, resulting in water loss and dryness, that is, "burning"

▲ two branches stand side by side, and the neck is intertwined

How's it going? How's your bonsai? Look at the beauty of other people's bonsai. Huahua reminds you that you have to hurry up, or you'll wait to be a fire stick after summer
