Bonsai | Coniferous (Pinus)

Bonsai Pine (Pinus) is an evergreen plant known for its miniature size and distinctive shape. It is one of the most popular types of bonsai plants, cultivated for hundreds of years. The distinguishing feature of bonsai pines is that they can reach a height of up to 1 meter, but their roots and the upper part of the plant remain miniature.

Exposure:

Bonsai pines prefer a sunny location where they have access to at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. They can also be grown in partial shade, but it is not recommended to expose them to direct sunlight as this can damage the leaves and bark of the plant.

Watering:

Bonsai pines are drought-resistant and do not require frequent watering. It is important to maintain constant soil moisture, but not to keep it constantly wet as this can lead to rotting. Water the plant when the top of the soil begins to dry out. When watering, use warm water and do not leave excess water in the tray.

Repotting:

Bonsai pines should be repotted in spring or summer when the plant is active and can recover quickly after repotting. For better results, use special bonsai soil that is well-drained and does not retain excess water. When repotting, pay attention to the roots of the plant and carefully arrange them in the new soil.

Fertilization:

Bonsai pines require regular fertilization to maintain good health and growth. Use special bonsai pine fertilizer for better growth and health. However, do not over-fertilize as this can damage the roots of the plant.

Pests: Bonsai Pine may be affected by some pests such as spider mites, ants, aphids, and others. To prevent them, you can use special insecticides that are suitable for indoor plants.
