Why is autumn considered such a distinctive season for a bonsai? During these months, particularly as the season progresses, the tree’s growth gradually slows down, so certain care practices need to be adapted to ensure they remain effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

The priority should be to avoid excess water, protect the roots and, above all, prepare the plant properly for winter. This is when it will face harsher conditions and enter its dormant phase, awaiting the next budding period.<\/span><\/p>\n

With all this in mind, at <\/span>Zoka<\/span><\/a> we would like to introduce you to some <\/span>essential care for your bonsai in autumn<\/b>.<\/span> Observation is important, but there is much more to it than simply watching the leaves fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put these essential autumn bonsai care tips into practice!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Water when the surface of the \u00a0substrate begins to dry out.\n

    <\/span>Also remember that keeping the roots in good condition is key to the overall health of your bonsai. Try not to leave them waterlogged for long periods. Take the opportunity to check that the drainage system is completely clear so that water can drain away properly.<\/li>\n

Because at this stage the bonsai may still be in its growth phase, which means it will need certain nutrients. As autumn progresses, fertilisation should be reduced.\n
