Winter care for our Bonsai plants.

Winter care for our Bonsai plants.

Yes, we should be careful about not only indoor plants but outdoor Bonsais also. In Winter due to short daylight and cold temperatures plants can't prepare much food so they don’t need much water. We can reduce water and water the plant when the soil is dry.  

It is time for the attack of insects like aphids, white flies, red spiders, Millie bugs, and thrips on the Ficus plant ( we see folded Ficus leaves, the eggs will be inside the folded leaves).

 If any insect attack is there

1)     Wash the plant with a water jet

2)     Remove the affected leaves.

3)     Spray homemade insecticide.

 

Cutting and pruning can be done if the plant is profusely growing.  Old wires can be removed.

Fertilizing to be reduced.

Repotting can be postponed to next season.

Friends take care of the plants during the winter season.

It important is to keep our plants away from insect attacks by watching leaves on top and down portions from time to time.

 

Happy winter growing and enjoy the season with our beautiful Bonsais.
