How to care Hinoki bonsai, Bonsai art Tokyo
Hinoki is well known as a high-grade building material.
But as a bonsai tree, it is not as popular as other pine and oak species.
However, the unique charm and elegance of the cypress tree makes it a fascinating bonsai to look at.
It is also easy to grow because it is hardy and resistant to insects. I
Place
Place the tree in a well-ventilated and sunny location.
The strong western sun in midsummer will damage the tips of the leaves.
So shade them with a shade cloth or something similar.
Watering
The plant likes water, so water it a little more when it is a bit dry.
Insect pests
The plant is healthy, so it is not easily attacked by pests and diseases.
But spider mites are rarely seen.
So exterminate them when you find.
Fertilizer
Apply a solid organic fertilizer once a month from March to November, except during the rainy season.
Cutting
Cut unwanted branches during the month of May. Cutting too many branches at once can lead to branch dieback, so keep it light.
Pruning
From mid-May to late September, prune the plant by continually picking overgrown shoots.
Hold an old branch in the overgrown area with your left hand.
Then pull it off by lightly squeezing it between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand.
How is it?
I think you can do it by yourself !
I’m Nobu, one heart enjoy together!!!
