Soo... I bought a bonsai was created by Yaboi_Aaron

Posted 3 years 6 months ago #69590
So yesterday I bought a bonsai. I have did some research before hand, but I still have some question:

1. How much I water it?

2. How should I be pruning it, where and why?

3. What type of fertilizer should I use?

4. What style would fit it the best, if I can even shape it?

5. How, and when should I repot it?

Just some general questions about care.
(Its a dwarf jade. I have attached some pictures.)

Also, I decided, that when I know most things about care, I'm gonna buy a chinese wisteria cutting or something, but I'm gonna grow it myself.

For a good anwser.

Provide your location. As seasons are diffrent around the world.

Also Post the pictures again, after upload, press the insert button.

1.) Depens on the season and the weather.
2.) Provide a picture, and google a Jade 名媛直播, and give us some examples what you want or like.
3.) Universial firtilizer would be ok, if you just started the hobby.
4.) See 2.
5.) Repot at the beginning of the season, as it starts to grow. Not at the end of the season.
How?
Use soil with as much drainage as possibe, as it is a succulant. In winter, almost no water is given. Perhaps a bit every 6weeks. But also depends on you location, for example if you live in the tropics. Then you have barly any winter.

Wisteria cuttings usally don't flower until an age of 10/15years. Some earlyer.. Some even later.
Best is to buy a wisteria in spring, and only buy the one that is flowering at that moment. Don't buy wisteria outside the flowering season. It's the only way to know for sure if that plant will flower.

You bought a cutting in a small pot, not a bonsai.

Here is my take on your questions:

1: put it outside in the summer and there will be no need for watering.

2: prune the branches that you dont like and dont fit into your future plan. Keep the ones you like and support your plan. One rule of thumb is to awoid long straight sections and branches splitting into more than two.

3: Any fertilizer. Use weak solution and fertilize only when the plant is absolutelly bone dry.

4: your tree is like a blank canvas is to a painter. A painter can shoose to paint anything and you can shoose any style you like. I personally think that windswept and cascade looks odd and unnatural for jades.

5: I repot my jades every two years. I use a mix of cactii soil and pumice.
