In this form, we generically indicate the main care to be taken with your Bonsai.
Location: (Depends on the species if you can't identify it send us a photo to "dr.bonsai
Inside: As close as possible to a window with plenty of light (no curtains or blinds), in which take 2 to 3 hours of direct sun per day (ideal at the beginning or end of the day), rotate the tree 180° weekly, avoid air conditioning or hot springs very close to Bonsai.
Outdoor: Outside, where take 2 to 3 hours of direct sun per day (ideal in the morning or at the end of the day), protected from strong winds and frosts.
Double Location: There are species that, due to their adaptability characteristics, can live both abroad and in Inside (since very exposed to light, to the sun and without climatization).
Watering: To water abundantly the earth until a lot of water goes out through the drain holes in order to moisten evenly the soil, always above never by immersion, with a fine drain waterer.
Tips on watering, see irrigation technical data sheet.
Let dry the surface layer of the soil between each watering (to confirm if the plant already needs water, touch the earth with the fingers).
If you have a dish under Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent the roots from rotting).
There is no advantage in spraying the leaves, just do it in days that it adds and if the fertilizer is specific for foliar application, but ensure that they arrive dry at night to avoid fungi.
Nutrition: From February to October/November, with a base plan composed of a complete fertilizer (Fertil Bonsai Humic, or Green & Gold Bonsai Organic or Biogold), and a biostimulant (Bio Bonsai Activ) from February to October Outdoor, and all year in Inside, can still be associated with other products in our range.
