Common Name: Pyracantha
Scientific name: Pyracantha spp.
Characterization: It belongs to the family of Rosaceas, has its origin in Asia.
Strong growth, persistent leaf, greatly appreciated by the abundant white flowering, followed by fruits ranging from yellow to red.
Location: It is very resistant, both to cold and heat, so it should remain outside well exposed to the sun all year round, where it catches 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.
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 technical data watering.
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). It resists thirst well, but it has high water consumption, especially when in flower or fruit.
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), can still be linked with other products in our range.
Detailed information on how to combine these products the rest of our range, or for a more specific nutrition plan, see complete nutrition plan technical sheet.
Poda: We must be careful with the peaks it has. Although it grows slowly, it produces a tangle of very dense branches. We usually take advantage of the end of the winter, after the fall of the fruits, to give it a cleaning pruning and to lower the canopy.
New sprouts emitted during the growth phase should grow 5 to 6 sheets and then prun through the 1st sheet.
Tips on pruning, see the technical sheet pruning and defoliation.
Transplant: With Terra Bonsai Folhosas in February, a strong pruning and/or partial defoliation was made.
Details about transplants, post transplants and specific fortifiers that you can use refer to repotting technical sheet.
Scratch: It is normally driven by pruning, but it responds well, can be all year round.
Indications on padding, see wiring technical sheet.
