It is no wonder why so many
people love the gardenia bonsai tree. They have a beautiful
appearance as well as fragrant flowers; it makes a wonderful lively
display that is bound to lighten up any room or space that it’s
decorating. All bonsai species need extra care and attention, and
the gardenia bonsai is no exception. So here are a few ‘must do’s in
order to keep this beautiful plant at its best all year round Lighting and Temperature
It can be placed directly in the sunlight, but
not for an extensive amount of time a day; for example couple of
hours in the morning should be more then enough for it or if kept
indoors a sunny window will do the trick.
Watering
Because it loves the sun it also loves the
water, one needs to check it daily for watering but at the same time
do not flood the roots, just enough to have the soil moist.
Soil Feeding
A couple times a year,
usually spring and fall, the soil needs replenishing in order for
your gardenia bonsai to receive the required minerals and food
supply. However, take great care not to use fertilizers that
facilitate excessive growth -- remember you have a bonsai (miniature
of the real size plant) and you want to keep it that way.
Pruning and
Sculpting
Pruning the gardenia bonsai is done after the
flowers bloom. Don’t be shy when pruning -- you are the one who will
be shaping the gardenia bonsai so let the creativity flow! Look
through Google’s cache of bonsai images for inspiration.
