Light Eleagnus angustifoliaSole pieno
These plants are cultivated in small vases, therefore we suggest placing the containers in a place sheltered from the sun during the hottest weeks of the summer. These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside.The Eleagnus angustifolia should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.

Water Eleagnus angustifoliaTenere asciutto
These plants are located in vases; to avoid them from enduring long periods of drought we suggest to check the moisture of the substratum in the vase periodically. Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 10-11 days before watering it.

Fertilize Eleagnus angustifolia
Bonsai are grown in very small containers, that's why it’s good to add small doses of fertilizer frequently, so that the plants always have the right dose of nutrients. In the spring let’s use specific fertilizers, rich in nitrogen and potassium, every 20-25 days.

Pests Eleagnus angustifolia
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Eleagnus angustifolia
We suggest cultivating these bonsai in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
