5 Top indoor Bonsai tree care tips

Tip 1 – How to water a Bonsai tree

When it comes to indoor Bonsai tree care, watering is one of the most important aspects of care. If you give your tree too little water, it will dehydrate and die. If you water too much, it will drown the tree.

To ensure you are watering your Bonsai tree correctly, wait until you see the soil drying up but do not wait until the soil has dried up completely. Then water the plant until the excess water seeps out of the bottom of the Bonsai pot and then do not water again until the soil starts drying up.

Tip 2 – Picking the right soil

Picking the right soil is important for indoor Bonsai tree care. If you want to pick the right soil for your Bonsai tree, visit the nearest garden centre and inform them about the exact type of Bonsai tree you have.

Tip 3 – How to apply fertiliser correctly

Bonsai trees have to be given water soluble fertiliser once or twice a week, only during the growing season. In addition, fertiliser application should take place when the soil is wet or you will not see the results.

Tip 4 – How to prune a Bonsai tree

Pruning is an important part of indoor Bonsai tree care. The pruning is done in two different ways; branch pruning and root pruning.

Branch pruning should be done when spring starts and you should carefully remove the branches that you do not want.

Keep only the branches you wish to. Similarly, root pruning should be done, but take care because root pruning should only be done after the roots of the tree have bound themselves firmly into the pot.

You have to learn the basics of Bonsai tree pruning before trying to sculpt the tree into different shapes.

Tip 5 – Choosing the perfect growing environment for your Bonsai tree

The last tip is another important factor in indoor Bonsai tree care. Make sure your Bonsai tree is placed in an area that receives a lot of sunlight.

One of the best places in the house is the window sill, but make sure it is wide enough to hold the Bonsai pot.
