Bonsai Trees Care

If you are thinking for a long-term health of your new bonsai you must know that a location with adequate air circulation is very important for bonsai. The photosynthesis process requires an unrestricted exchange of fresh air and stagnate environmental conditions could compromise your bonsai’s ability to continue its photosynthetic processes, by clogging the pores or stomata, located on the bottom of leaves, which bonsai trees use for this vital air exchange, through dust and debris accumulation.

The regular movement of fresh air helps prevent pests, like spider mites, from establishing their webs and infesting and damaging your bonsai trees. It is known that a closed or confined space is the perfect environment for pests and disease, two of the most terrible enemies of bonsai trees. Air circulation also helps your trees in the transportation of essential fluids from the roots to the leaves, by osmosis, which is a vital process. Air also prevents possible root rot conditions, from soil saturation, by assisting in water evaporation.

Obs: If your bonsai is kept indoors or inside a greenhouse, you might
consider leaving a door open, or cracked, and a fan, or fans, running. Spraying and misting your bonsai off regularly will help to remove all dust and debris from the bottoms and tops of leaves, allowing your bonsai to “breathe” freely and to continue its photosynthetic processes.
