The best care program runs into the void, if it lacks an ornamental apple sun. Therefore, place the bonsai peel in a sunny and warm location that does not get under the blazing midday sun. In the open air, we also recommend a sheltered location, so that the beautiful flowering flora is not disheveled.
So pour and fertilize properly
The water and nutrient requirements of an ornamental hybrids are as high as bonsai, as in normal conditions in the tub - scaled to the mini format. How to pour and fertilize in the right proportions:
We recommend using an organic bonsai fertilizer. With preparations such as the Bio C3 spreading fertilizer or Saidung Ultra, you specifically avoid the danger of salinisation. At intervals of 14 days, apply 1 tablespoon of fertilizer granules to every 50 square centimeter of substrate surface and pour. In August, switch to a potassium fertilizer to strengthen the winter hardiness. From September, you will stop feeding until February.
Cutting requires a rethinking
With regard to the pruning, the ornamental apple falls out of the usual frame as bonsai. In order for you to enjoy the full enjoyment of a magnificent flower and a distinctive fruit hangings, a continuous cut is not recommended. Instead, allow the woodland to grow unimpeded into July. Only then do you reach for the scissors to shorten the branches.
In late winter clear the crown thoroughly and shorten only too long shoots to the desired length. On this occasion, moreover, inward and too dense branches are removed.
Tips
At a young age, a vigorous growth determines the cultivation of an ornamental bonsai. At the beginning of each year, pimp the wood in a larger bowl. As a substrate, a mix of 70 percent Akadama and 30 percent gravel has been proven for Jung trees. In advanced age, the gravel content is reduced to 10 percent in favor of 20 percent humus.
