Be Aware to Protect the Bonsai Tree and Anthurium Plant

Bonsai trees and Anthurium plants are the center of attention in the home garden. Just to put a plant on the balcony is not enough. Plants also need some extra care and attention to grow more beautiful. So, here we will go through some points regarding how to take care of them.

Taking care of Bonsai Tree:

The main objects which affect a Bonsai Tree are sunlight, watering, temperature range and season. Select the proper tree reliant as per the environment where you are going to keep it. For the indoors tropical trees are the best selection. Even to maintain excellent look throughout the year coniferous trees are also preferable. If you are planting a bonsai from seed, then just give it a time to take root then start trimming and cutting. An extra effort to grow it from seeds will give better rewards. If you are selecting a bonsai plant than just check its roots are evenly spread and select the tree with a sturdy trunk but still young.

Bonsai trees quickly react to the seasons. Some reasons have four seasons to be considered and some have three. During the winter, the tree need is only proper watering. Avoid trimming in this season because the growth ratio is very slow in winters. In spring the tree starts to consume the nutrients and sprout the new leaves to grow. It is good to add extra nutrients and start trimming in this season. During summers trees need more water. In monsoon the nutrients begin accumulating again so it’s a good time for trimming and repotting.

Give it a direct sunlight in the morning and provide shelter in the afternoon. Basically, it is a thumb rule for all trees, but just check it for your tree. If it is placed in the balcony or window, then move it by 90 degrees every few days so that all branches can receive an equal amount of light. During summer save it from a high temperature and take it inside. Don’t let the soil to dry and dusty. Daily watering is perfect for bonsai. Select the proper training style which is suitable for your tree. Perfect turns of the branches look lovely, so wrap the wire at 45 degrees and train the tree. Don’t wrap the wire too tightly it damages the tree. When the tree starts growing into shape than just rewire it. Put it in a proper container and don’t over-prune it. Add some extra obstacles like stones, shells, rocks, tiny plant to give it a natural look.

Taking care of Anthurium Plant:

The Anthurium Plants need more water. But they are more sensitive of direct sun rays. SO put it in a shelter otherwise their leaves get started burning. Anthurium plant gives a pleasant atmosphere. Nitrogen plays an important role in the plant growth as it covers 78% of the air. Phosphorus regulates the growth of the plant. Scarcity of potassium is responsible to turn the leaves in yellow colour. So make sure for the proper amount of potassium is available in the soil.
