Cedar Bonsai Tree Care - Good Tips And Advice

A Cedar Bonsai Tree is a great little tree to grow a Bonsai with. It responds excellently to being grown from cuttings and you will find that you enjoy working with it. There are a few pointers for good Cedar Bonsai tree care though, and this article will list those for you.

First of all, the Cedar Bonsai tree responds best in warm and sunny climates. It also works best in areas of low humidity so if you're in that sort of area, congratulations! If you're not, don't despair as you can still go and grow a Cedar Bonsai, you'll just need to be more active in shifting it around into places that work best for it.

I say that for good Cedar Bonsai tree care you need good sunlight however there is a limit. The Cedar tree if it feels it is getting too much light will do something rather nifty - angle its leaves so that they aren't facing the sun. While this is very cool, if this happens to your Cedar Bonsai Tree, I highly suggest you shift it into the shade for a bit as if the leaves burn, they will go yellow and fall off. That's not so cool.

The Cedar Tree doesn't like to be overwatered. Once every couple of weeks should do. Your tree will tell you if it's been overwatered - all the leaves will turn yellow. A good rule of thumb is to let the dirt in the pot your tree is in dry out before you water it again. Don't overwater! If the leaves do turn yellow, make sure you have got your tree in a pot that allows drainage, and then cut down on your watering.

Repotting a Cedar tree is a bit of a mission. If you do it wrong, the tree will hate you forever (just joking!) but again it can cause all the foliage to fall off. Repot it once every three or four year to lessen the chance of damage to your tree.

This tree heals very slowly when you chop off a branch. The best advice for this Cedar Bonsai tree care section is simple: If you can avoid lopping off a branch, then please do so. If you absolutely need to however you will find that some wood sealant is a good way to help your tree repair itself. However a healed 'scab' on the tree does look very nice (very natural) so this might be the effect that you are going for.

These are the best Cedar Bonsai tree care tips that I know of. Overall, the tree will produce some lovely times for you - it's a faithful tree so don't be too hard on it.

You will find that getting some good Bonsai inspiration first is a good thing before growing your tree, as this will prevent you from making changes later that it doesn't like.
