RE: Things to consider to transplant a bonsai tree into a training pot [Bonsai]
wow that the problem of the roots, I thought that it was two trunks that shared the same root system. Friend you can apply to the foliage water with sprinkled sugar, this helps to recover the plants from the stress caused by transplants with exposed roots.
Thanks for the tip. What would be a good amount to use? Can I just sprinkle a teaspoon or so on the surface, and water it in?
Hey there! I think what he means is only foliar (branches and leaves) so make sure that you don't get much of that water into the soil. Not sprinkle it but use a spray bottle instead would be my suggestion. I try to use liquid vermicompost for the best results, any foliar product will do for this early stage. I bought a really nice one for orchid development, but it serves for frugal and edible plants as well. And the cheaper product I use is distilled water from the AC, but I guess you don't really use these kind of devices over there, or do you?
Never thought about using the AC water before. We use a tube to dump the water down the gutter drain.
