Indoor Bonsai care

[@TastyWafflesForBreakfast]

After watching this video, I ask myself: How the heck has my Bonsai survived over a year. xD

[@bonsaiempire]

Haha, imagine how well it will do now! :-)

[@SofiaSousaca]

Resilient lil one you have 😁

[@ayeshacooper7778]

exactly my question, it has so many random huge shoots, I think I need to get to trimming and pruning!

[@lj8394]

I have a ficus bonsai that I bought 2 years ago. Same thing with me, I had no idea how it survived to this day. I hadn't once fertilized it. I just water it weekly on summer with few mists here and there and every other week during winter. On a nice weather I placed it in my balcony then move it indoors on winter. I might have to repot it next spring cause the roots are starting to show from its pot but I'm scared to do it cause I might end up killing it.

Those are some really nice plants…. I’ve kept a Japanese juniper indoors for years indoors under fluorescent lights and sometimes windows, and about 1/3 of the summers outdoors…. 13 years and counting.

[@FlikkieFloekieFlakkie]

Good job man, good job! You give your plants the love they desperately need!

[@funkydozer]

I have been growing an informal Silver Birch from a 1 year old sapling I collected from a local wood for 16 years, it is now around 20" high, has many branches, exposed roots, with a width of around 1.5" at the base of the trunk, and it lives happily indoors in a South facing window bay. Any indigenous tree you collect from outside your home can be grown indoors if the room atmosphere is kept similar to the outside environment.

[@LukZel]

Hey could you explain a bit further "if the room atmosphere is kept similar to the outside environment"? I guess your room isn't around 0° Celsius during winter time 🤔

[@funkydozer]

@@LukZel I meant humidity levels and similar temperature ranges to outside, which next to a ventilated window, are self regulating. It's all good as long as you don't cook it in winter in front of radiators or freeze it in summer with aircon.

[@sasha_swan]

Okay, so my friend gave it to me and I loooove it, but I live in that one NYC apt with not a lot of windows and direct sunlight is a rare thing, happens once in a while... I will water it and everything but the sunlight is a problem... How bad is it?

[@bonsaiempire]

Bad! Plants need light, trees especially.

[@jojel241]

Where did you get those pots from? I’ve been searching but I can only find them online, not in person

[@NakariShiro]

I’m confused; the instructions that came with my Ficus Microcarpa says it needs indirect lighting but you’re saying to place that type of plant right by the window for direct light. It’s started to lose a lot of its leafs, even though I water it regularly. Like you said, it probably is because it’s not getting enough sunlight? I also have wetted the leafs but they get white spots stains. Could it be mold? Could that be what’s killed my leafs?

[@bonsaiempire]

Ficus are trees and hence need lots of light. Ignore the label and place it in lots of light and make sure it NEVER dries out but at the same time isnt wet constantly - no worries about white spots for now (though you can upload a photo on our forum to get some advice - www.bonsaiempire.com/forum). Good luck!

I have a Juniper Bonsai (this is my first, I’m new to this). Is it ok for me too keep it inside of I have it right next to a window where lots of sunlight is let in?

[@bonsaiempire]

No. A Juniper should not be kept indoors. Check our video on Junipers for more info!

[@mohe81]

I love Ulmus Parvifolia, but I always ran into issues in the winter time, as I have no wintergarten and so can't offer them temperatures under 20*C. Is there anything a get do to get them through the winter with more success?

[@ChannelSobari]

Thank you for sharing vtips bonsai

[@Vitiuxa]

What if I place it in front of the window, that I sometimes open up to let some air into the room? Is it bad for bonsai tree to get colder outside air? I live in colder temperate humid climate.

[@bonsaiempire]

Too much of a cold draft might harm the tree - so perhaps open another window further away from your Bonsai if possible?

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Horticultural term "hardening off", and concept of "cold frames" may be helpful in understanding, but the short gist of it is you don't want crazy temperature/microclimate fluctuations. Many plants rely on temperature to tell them, for example, when winter is coming and it's time to shed leaves. Even without that the shock of frequent extreme changes can cause problems. If outside feels like inside, you're probably ok to open the window, but you may also introduce pests. 🤷‍♂️

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

Do they do well with artificial sunlight, like the lights used for growing indoor crops?

[@bonsaiempire]

I never tried, but I think it should work - perhaps give it a try!

I stead of liquid fertilizer can I use a powdered and mix it with water then put it in a bottle, does it have to be bonsai fertilizer?

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Solution should be fine, though depending on formula you may want to dilute a little extra. The main idea is to not have pellets or pills of highly concentrated fertilizer that will end up burning the plant roots, especially since bonsai don't have a large pot for excess fertilizer to dilute and spread to.

Thank you for your video. I did join Bonsai Empire and will look into courses. I have the carmona fukien tea and I have 2 questions. 1). I just got it a month ago and it looks like it has pellet fertilizer in the soil. There are so many inputs on fertilizing every month, every month during growing season, pellets vs liquid, and now this video says every 2 weeks. Not knowing what the nursery put in, am I safe with a liquid fertilizer every two weeks and all year long? 2) When you prune, what does 4 leaves down to 2 mean. The whole branch seems to grow in pairs of 2. Thank you for your reply in advance. J

[@bonsaiempire]

I'd follow the guidelines as stated on your product packaging. But a soft liquid fertilizer should be fine. And pruning - back to one pair of leaves or two pairs (depending on how long you want the shoot to be!)

Portulacaria, sometimes called "dwarf jade" is not closely related to crassula, true jade. They are in different families. In fact portulacaria afra can be used as a food, as people in its native range do, whereas crassula is toxic. I have to clear that up because they are not at all the same thing even if they appear similar superficially.
