The wisteria is an impressive bonsai
Can I raise a blue rain myself as a bonsai?
With its luxuriant flowers, the wisteria is a truly impressive plant in spring. Since he needs a lot of space, the idea is close, to draw a bonsai from it. That's not too difficult, but time consuming.
The roots of the Blauregens are a mixture of pile and flat roots. This fact should be kept in mind when training for bonsai and choose a correspondingly deep and wide planter.
Are some varieties particularly good as bonsai?
In principle, you can try to draw a bonsai from each variety of the blue gene. However, the species of the Japanese Blauregens seem particularly suitable. However, you should pay attention to a harmonious overall picture. Thus, the Wisteria macrobotrys has extremely long flower spikes and the Chinese Wisteria quite large leaves. Both make education to bonsai difficult.
When do I have to start cutting?
Since the blue rain grows quite fast, you should start with the targeted cutting quite early. If you aim for a final size of about 40 to 60 centimeters, you will most likely achieve a harmonious relationship between flowers, leaves and branches.
What should I watch out for when taking care of a blue-rain bonsai?
Maintaining a Blauregens as bonsai are two important things. For one, the bonsai needs a lot of water during the summer and flowering season. If you do not want to control it constantly, place the planter on a water-filled coaster. This is how the plant gets its own care.
On the other hand, the blue rain does not bloom if it is replanted too often or incorrectly cut. Always leave enough flower buds when pruning and only replant your Blueberry Bonsai every three to five years.
