Sageretia Bonsai care (Sweet plum)

In this video we explain how to care for your Sageretia Bonsai tree, also known as the Sweet plum or Bird plum Bonsai. Watering, pruning, fertilizing - all these topics are discussed. Keeping a Sweet plum Bonsai alive is not a difficult task, but there are a few things you should be aware of. For more information, also check:
www.bonsaiempi...
Bonsai trees are planted in small pots with minimal space for water and nutrient reserves. That means you need to water and fertilize your tree regularly. Make sure your Bonsai gets plenty of light, water, and fertilize when needed and your tree is sure to thrive!
If you are not entirely sure about your tree species, you can use this guide to ID your Bonsai:

Great video!, I got one 2 years ago, it looks amazing now, I water mine every day in summer and every 2 days in winter

[@ollieknuckey9781]

I also have a Chinese sweet plum, it’s quite young, what style did u decide to yours in? :)

[@stevenvitali7404]

@@ollieknuckey9781 mine has the classic bend in the trunk and a triangular shape canopy of the leaves, I repotted it last summer using acadama soil and it settled in well in its larger pot, just started giving it fertilizer again, I never thought it would survive when I first got it as a birthday present, did loads of research which made it possible, I prune it quite often

Great video on the Sageretia. Mine is already growing strong with artificial LED lights.

Bonjour, quel terreau faut t'il exactement car j'aimerais juste changer le terreau car mon bonsaï est envahi de mouches de terreaux Merci à vous Bonne journée

[@BonsaiJo]

Please.. what about care and repot for red sandalwood bonsai tree

[@bonsaiempire]

Ah I have no experience with that one, perhaps inquire on our forum at www.bonsaiempire.com/forum

[@heldigrad]

what do you mean exactly by 'trim back to 2 leaves?' can you please explain? i have this exact bonsai tree and I can tell it's overgrown but i don't understand how to prune it correctly.

[@bonsaiempire]

So if any branch has, say, 6 leaves. Cut 4 off - back to 2 leaves. This is a good way to trim back a tree that is overgrown. Focus on branches that grow outside of the desired canopy.

[@danielshe07]

Is it ok for it to be placed towards the north?

[@bonsaiempire]

Well, more light is better - it needs some hours a day of direct light to thrive

[@joemicheletti8036]

Where can I get that blue watering can you use?

[@PlantCraftDIY]

Nice sharing..master 👍👍 thanks

[@Andelbonsaitt]

How can I thicken its trunk. Should I plant in the ground or a big pot I'd fine for developing the trunk

[@bonsaiempire]

To thicken a trunk, you need lots of growth - bigger pot and little pruning so the tree grows strongly. We have some videos here on youtube.

Beautiful bonsai mame

[@michaelb6140]

Hey, which soil mix is recommended for the Sageretia?

[@bonsaiempire]

Standard bonsai substrate will be fine - see www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/bonsai-soil

[@michaelb6140]

@@bonsaiempire Also if i keep it inside?

[@ollieknuckey9781]

How do you create a Bend in the main trunk? I know you use wire but how:)

[@custommodelmaking4969]

If the branch is long but not hard you can bend it with wires to hold in place, after a while the branch will grow hard and stay in that form and canb remove the wire, some wires are left on the tree forever as they can be difficult to remove without hurting the tree.

Instructions unclear the bonsia has become sentient

[@franziskaklaiber5768]

I got one of these as a gift. Unfortunately i am home on and off..leaving for 7 to 10 days at a time. Damm.

[@bonsaiempire]

In that case you need a friend or friendly neighbour to water your tree!
