Bonsai Pseudolarix (S shape)
The Pseudolarix bonsai, also known as Pseudolarix amabilis or golden spruce, is a tree native to East Asia, appreciated in bonsai art for its attractive foliage and for the beautiful change of color of the leaves in autumn. It is a deciduous tree, with leaves that turn golden or orange before falling, which makes it a special specimen in bonsai collections.
Description: Pseudolarix amabilis has a slow growth and can be modeled in various stylistic forms in bonsai art. The leaves are similar to those of conifers, but they differ in that they are lost in the cold season. The cones are small and spherical, adding an additional decorative element.
Care:
-
Light: The Pseudolarix bonsai prefers strong light, but it must be protected from direct sun during the summer to avoid burning the leaves. The ideal positioning would include a few hours of direct sun in the morning or evening, with partial shade throughout the day.
-
Watering: Watering must be regular and adapted according to the season. The soil must be kept moist, but not saturated. Avoid letting the water stagnate in the plate under the pot.
-
Humidity: Although it withstands variable humidity conditions well, spraying the foliage can help, especially during hot and dry summers or if the bonsai is kept indoors.
-
Fertilization: Fertilize from spring to autumn with a balanced fertilizer, specially formulated for bonsai, according to the instructions on the package.
-
Repotting: Repotting is done every 2-3 years, in the spring, before the plant begins to grow actively. This involves cutting the roots and replacing the soil completely to ensure a fresh and healthy environment.
-
Protection against the cold: Since it is a deciduous tree, the Pseudolarix bonsai must be protected during the winter in regions with a cold climate. It may require shelter in a cool place, but protected from frost.
