How to grow bonsai properly
There are many different types of bonsai trees, each with its own unique characteristics. Therefore, to properly and lushly grow a bonsai tree, the first thing you need to prepare is not soil, pots or trees, but knowledge about the type of tree you want to grow.
By learning about the characteristics of the tree, you will know what kind of soil the tree is suitable for, what kind of pot it is beautiful to grow in and how to care for it effectively. Mini bonsai trees for the table are often much smaller in size than bonsai trees in the office, so you should also try to be a little clever to make planting simpler.
When you learn about bonsai, you probably know that mini bonsai will be grown in two main types: soil and in solution (nutrient water). Below we will learn in detail the materials to prepare and how to properly grow bonsai for each type.
The materials to prepare for planting trees include:
- Shovel for digging soil (optional)
- Planting soil
- Bonsai pots
- Nutrient solution
- Ornamental plants
- Watering plants
How to grow bonsai with soil
– Prepare suitable soil for planting:
- There are many types of potting soil and in many ways each person will have different ways of choosing potting soil. In this article, Cay Xinh recommends that you use potting soil bags sold in garden stores and just mix water. Or more elaborately, you can completely create your own potting soil with ingredients such as fertilizer soil, straw, humus or bark, materials that create porosity that can decompose and create nutrients.
- You need to note that the soil must ensure moisture and nutrients (nutrients here are fertilizers) necessary for plant growth.
– Plant the tree in the pot and water it:
- Once you have prepared the soil, you will move on to the next step of planting the tree in the pot. First, you should roughly divide the pot into 3 parts, in which the bottom part is the base soil, the trunk part covers the base of the tree and the top part is for other decorative miniatures. When you have finished fixing, you should only press lightly so that the tree does not tilt, but do not press too tightly.
- At this point, many of you will probably wonder why it is necessary to segment like that? Segmenting the pot will help you easily balance the amount of soil and coverage for the plant. Here, you should also note that you should not fill the soil over the mouth of the pot, because when watering, the soil will overflow and another part will lose the aesthetics of the bonsai. Instead, you can choose mini, funny landscape accessories to decorate the pot more vividly.
How to grow bonsai with solution
– Prepare nutritional water:
- Unlike table plants grown from soil, plants grown in water have a living environment of water with hydroponic solution, mixed in the most appropriate ratio to ensure providing nutrients for plant growth and not overdose causing the plant to die prematurely.
- To ensure the most suitable nutritional water, you should buy it at the store or contact us for direct support on the nutritional ratios in the water.
- The standard water level for plants in hydroponics is at the same level as the root collar. When the ratio of plants and water is suitable, you can use water-absorbent sponges to fix the plants.
- You should also note that plants grown in water need to have their water changed 2-3 times a month to ensure they are always healthy and green. When changing the water, you need to gently take the plant out, remove yellow leaves, and rotten roots so that the plant can grow normally and avoid disease.

How to properly care for bonsai plants
Many people think that just providing fertilizers and nutrients to stimulate plant growth is enough, that is a good way to take care of bonsai, but the truth is not like that.

Cay Xinh advises you to regularly monitor your plants to know the real condition of the plants, from there have measures to care for and solve them properly.
So if you notice that the tree is showing signs of weakness, you need to:
- Take timely care measures: depending on the condition of the plant, change the water, change the soil, spray pesticides or prune, remove yellow and wilted leaves, depending on whether you grow the bonsai in soil or water to have a way to treat the soil and water of the plant.
- Do not let harsh sunlight shine on the plant: because at this time the plant’s resistance and photosynthesis will not be the same as before the disease, so avoid too hot light sources.
