Junesnow is a small, evergreen plant that gets its name from the white flowers that bloom in the middle of summer. It has a fresh and elegant posture and is one of the first choices for many bonsai lovers. To raise a good June snow bonsai, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1 Sunlight: June snow needs plenty of sunlight and should be placed in a well-lit area. However, when the sun is strong in summer, it should be properly shaded and avoid sun exposure.
2 Watering: June snow prefers a moist environment, but avoid standing water. During the growing season, the soil should be kept moist but overwatering should be avoided. In the summer heat, the frequency of watering should be increased, and at the same time foliar water should be sprayed to maintain air humidity.
3 Fertilization: June snow does not require much fertilizer, but proper fertilization can help it grow. During the growing season, thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be applied, once every 1-2 months. Note that the fertilizer concentration should not be too high to avoid burning the roots.
4 Pruning: Snow grows slower in June, but it still needs to be pruned regularly. Pruning is mainly carried out in the spring, and the old and diseased branches are cut off to promote the growth of new branches. Usually you can properly prune the long branches and sick branches to keep the tree beautiful.
5 Pest control: There are fewer pests and diseases in June snow, but it is still necessary to pay attention to control. Usually pay attention to observe the growth of plants, and take timely measures when pests and diseases are found. Common diseases include leaf spot, anthracnose, etc., which can be sprayed with corresponding drugs for prevention and control.
6. Soil change and repot: Every 1-2 years, the snow in June needs to change the soil. It is best to change the soil in spring, when the root system is more active, which is conducive to the integration of new soil and old soil. When turning pots, attention should be paid to pruning the root system to remove the old root system and promote the growth of new roots.
In short, to maintain a good June snow bonsai, you need to pay attention to light, watering, fertilization, pruning, pest control, soil change and repotting. As long as you master the correct breeding method, you can make the June Snow Bonsai thrive and show a fresh and elegant style.
