Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light.These plants don't fear the cold weather and therefore can be grown in the garden during any time of year.
Fertilization Forsythia
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.
Generalities Forsythia
The Forsythia grows erect, developing a short stem with a small crown, usually roundish. These plants are shrubs. This plant in the spring assumes a yellow colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 90 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Watering Forsythia
Let’s avoid watering the the Forsythia excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 10-11 days with 2-3 glasses of water . 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.
Treatments Forsythia
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.
Soil Forsythia
We suggest cultivating these bonsai in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
