Winter watering

Watering in Greenhouse

After winter, the growth of Taxus chinensis basically stagnates, and its ability to absorb water is also greatly reduced, so it should not be watered too much. If the yew is in the greenhouse, the soil should be kept dry, which is conducive to winter. If it is found that the basin soil is too dry, water it after 10 a.m. or before 3 p.m. on a sunny day. Do not water it too much. The water temperature should be similar to the outside temperature. The temperature difference should not be too large. Too large a temperature difference will stimulate yew, which will seriously lead to plant defoliation, rotten roots and even death

Indoor watering

The flowers raised indoors should be watered twice a week and thoroughly every time. Do not be too wet, which will lead to rotten roots. However, if the room is dry, spray water on the leaf surface, clean the leaf surface and keep it moist

Ventilation

It's best to put the yew indoors in a well ventilated place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in winter. In winter, when it is sunny at noon, open the window for ventilation

Fertilization

In winter, the growth of Taxus chinensis stagnates, so it does not need too much nutrients and fertilization. Only when the temperature is higher than ℃, the fertilizer is easy to be absorbed

Pruning

Winter is the dormancy period and the main pruning period of Taxus chinensis. It is necessary to prune and reshape the old plants, remove dead branches and leaves, and reduce nutrient consumption, which is conducive to the safe winter of Taxus chinensis bonsai

Cold proof and warm keeping

If there are too many bonsai, they can be put in the greenhouse for the winter. If there are few bonsai, they can be put indoors for the winter. Be careful not to put the bonsai in the air conditioner or heating vent and geothermal place. In northern areas, double-layer plastic film can be properly used to cover and keep warm
