Eucalyptus bonsai are a great choice for potted specimens. The trees are very hardy, and can tolerate a wide range of climates. However, they have their own special requirements. In fact, they have slightly different needs than other plants.
First and foremost, eucalyptus bonsai need regular watering. They can tolerate a variety of soil types, but they like well-drained soil. You should also add compost and well-rotted manure to the soil. A cone-shaped pot is best, as it will provide roots with room to grow.
Another important tip is to give the tree plenty of sunlight. The foliage on eucalyptus trees is best suited to morning sun. During the afternoon, the plant should be placed in a spot with a lot of indirect light.
As with all bonsai, eucalyptus trees need to be trimmed. Often, trimming will encourage new growth. Before trimming, make sure the branches are fully grown. Also, make sure to prune any deadwood off the tree.
If your eucalyptus bonsai tree is suffering from any diseases, such as scale insects, remove the damaged branches. Whiteflies can also cause stunted growth, so keep a close eye on your eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus is an interesting tree because of its branch structure. Unlike other trees, the branches are often arranged in a unique way.
Growing eucalyptus as bonsai is relatively easy. Although the tree is quite hardy, it can still be damaged by fungi and other pests. To help prevent this, you can use special bonsai fertilizers.
