The method to create a Bonsai Adenium
Bonsai Adenium is an exotic variant of traditional bonsai, known for its beautiful Thai flowers and sculptural trunk. Here is a step by step method to create your own Bonsai Adenium:
Step 1: Plant Selection
Choose a healthy Adenium with a thick trunk and well distributed branches. Make sure it has no diseases or parasites.
Step 2: Root Size
Gently remove the plant from its pot and cut the roots to promote the growth of fine roots. Do not cut more than 1/3 of the roots to prevent trauma.
Step 3: Size of trunk and branches
- Choose a main trunk and cut the lateral branches to give the plant a harmonious shape.
- Remove dead or sick branches to promote the growth of new shoots and flowers.
Step 4: Potting
Plant the Adenium in a suitable pot with a well drained substrate. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to avoid root rot.
Step 5: Regular maintenance
- Water the plant regularly, but let the substrate dry between waterings to avoid excess moisture.
- Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer to promote growth and flowering.
- Regularly cut the roots and branches to maintain the shape of the bonsai.
