Description: Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum) bonsai in a 10” ceramic pot. Photographs are from September 2024. Repotting in march 2024. CARING FOR YOUR BONSAI Throughout the spring, summer and fall your Bonsai should be placed outside, such as on a patio, balcony, terrace, or in a garden. Once outside, your Bonsai should be positioned where it will receive sufficient sun – morning sun and afternoon shade is best. A Bonsai can be viewed best when it is placed approximately three to four feet high (eye level), such as on a table, wall or bench. The watering of your Bonsai must never be neglected. Remember that bonsai trees live with much less soil than their full size kin. Less soil holds less water and must be replaced at a much greater rate. Apply water when the soil appears dry -- this will change depending on the time of year and overall outside temperatures. Never allow the soil to become completely dry. If your Bonsai is receiving full sun, it may be necessary to water once a day. This schedule may vary with the size pot, type of soil and type of Bonsai tree you own. Evaluate each tree's water requirements and adjust your watering schedule to accommodate it. It is a good idea to use a moisture meter until you get to know the requirements of your Bonsai tree. Watering should be done with a watering can or hose attachment which should dispense the water in a soft enough manner as not to disturb the soil. Water should be applied until it begins running out of the holes in the bottom of your pot. Multiple “passes” may be needed in summer months. ***All bonsais at LJS BONSAI DESIGNS have been getting heavy watering 1-2 times daily since the beginning of June (zone 9 temperatures above 90). Fertilizing is also necessary if your bonsai is to remain healthy and beautiful. Since your bonsai is growing in such a small amount of soil it is necessary to replenish the soil's supply of nutrients periodically. Any general-purpose liquid fertilizer will do fine and is available at most garden centers. We suggest that fertilizers be used at half their recommended strength. Fertilizer should be applied at least once a month except during winter. **Trees are carefully packed to ensure maximum protection from possible damage from the rigors of basic shipping.
