Notes on planting bonsai in the home
Growing plants in the house is a great solution to bring you the freshness of nature. Indoor plants work to purify the air while bringing beauty to decorate your living space.
However, plants need light for photosynthesis and also need water and nutrients to grow. Trees that already exist in the natural environment should, when brought into the home, need to understand what it needs and how to bring it the same living environment as when it lived in the wild.
Please refer to the following guidelines.
Select species
The most important principle is the selection of suitable plant species for indoor use. Depending on where you want to place the tree, consider the appropriate tree species.
In general, the indoor environment is less light, so light-requiring plants are not suitable for indoor use. Flowers like Roses, Chrysanthemum, Guava, Guava, and Guava can not be brought into the house because they need a lot of energy from photosynthesis to flower. Most of the plants are suitable for indoor cultivation.

Light
As mentioned above, plants need light so we need to pay attention to provide enough light according to the needs of each plant species. Choosing a good place for plants and decorating the house is not easy, so if you still want to place a certain type of plant in low light, light it up or bring it to light.
Morning period.
Most furniture plants can not bear the direct sunlight from noon to noon. Such sunshine will cause the plant to burn leaves even die due to sudden dehydration. Trees should be planted in the east-facing window for bright sunshine or netting at noon.
Water and moisture
You should know that the leading cause of indoor plants death is due to root causes because the landowner watered too much while the land did not drain enough water.
Indeed, potting soils often do not drain well in the wild. So pay attention to the type of porous soils. A common mistake is to think that the larger the potted plant, the more "clean" the soil is, and then water it regularly. Actually, it is wrong, because the pots are not as well drained as in the outside, so they have to choose the right type of soil and the size of the pot is just right so that the water is drained easily after irrigation.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is not necessary to water regularly every day. It is usually only necessary to irrigate a week or when the soil is dry. When irrigating until the water flows out from the bottom of the pot, this will help "purify" the soil, help wash off excess salt from the fertilizer and help the roots under the bottom of the pot not die dry.
Nutrition for plants
Much of the nutrition for existing plants is synthesized by solar energy. The original raw materials are water and elements like N, P, L (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and other trace elements such as copper, calcium ... These substances are absorbed by the plant through the roots.
Planting soil already contains almost all the essential substances for the plant. Moreover, indoor plants grow faster and therefore need nutrients. So do not put too much fertilizer. For most plant species, only a few NPK granules of NPK granules are required for 2-3 months.
Many people because of impatiently hoping for fast growing plants should fertilize many fertilizers with water. This is a mistake. Plants that want to grow need to synthesize substances that they absorb from the roots and photosynthesis under a light. Therefore, in the light-deficient environment, plants can not grow rapidly even though they are fertilized heavily Vietnam pottery
