Care in a nutshell
Wiring: When applying bonsai wire, work very carefully. Privets have a thin, delicate bark. Since the wood hardens quickly, new shoots should be wired early
Fertilizing: Since privet bonsai grow quickly, they should be fertilized abundantly from March to September with a standard bonsai fertilizer (Biogold, Hanagokoro, liquid bonsai fertilizer)
Watering: A privet bonsai needs a lot of water in summer. If they are cared for outdoors in midsummer, they should not dry out
Pruning: With good care, it has to be pruned about 2-3 times a year with sharp bonsai scissors. The wound healing is good but can be promoted by applying wound sealant for bonsai
Hibernation: Hibernation in a very light and cool place (10-12°C). As a tropical tree species, Chinese privets should be protected from temperatures below 6°C
Repotting: Privets quickly form many roots. Therefore, this tree species is repotted every 2-3 years in early March in well-drained bonsai soil. Akadama is well suited
