Hawthorn Crataegus

Hawthorn I like the article

Temperatures HawthornPosizione mezza ombra
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. Let’s remember that bonsai usually are grown in quite contained containers; this is why we suggest moving the vases in a slightly shaded place during the hottest weeks of the summer.We suggest growing the The Hawthorn outdoors year round, as they don't fear cold weather.

Care Hawthorn
These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Hawthorn is medium in size and 90 cm in height; in the spring it assumes a greenwhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Hawthorn has a shrub- like development.

Feed Hawthorn
During the spring months let’s fertilize our bonsai plants using a specific fertilizer every 20-25 days; during this period of the year the fertilizer must be rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of new vegetation.

Irrigation HawthornTenere asciutto
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 10-11 days can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water . Let’s frequently check the soil of our bonsai, to avoid it from remaining dry for long periods of time.

Adversity Hawthorn
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Hawthorn
These plants need a substratum with an excellent drainage.
