Ensure that you always use bonsai soil. In fact, the nature of soil used by you may often determine your bonsai tree's health. You ought to know that the regular or standard soils, for instance top soil or potting soil, are usually heavier compared to bonsai soil. Bonsai soil is prepared with the intention of retaining moisture, allowing proper drainage of water and it also allows the roots to breathe freely.
You should be aware of the fact that bonsai trees especially have a propensity to invasion by various pests as well as developing several plant diseases. In fact, this problem aggravates owing to their limited environment, wherein they are grown. Since they are miniature in size, bonsai trees are affected more drastically by different pests, compared to any normal plant or full-sized trees found in the forests. Notwithstanding all these shortcomings, one cannot say that the techniques involved in growing bonsai trees are actually responsible for worsening the condition. It is possible to prevent most such invasions by pests and diseases by taking regular care of the plants. The most effective preventive measures include cleaning the bonsai with a view to keep away from producing conditions that are conducive for pests as well as diseases.
After you have pruned or pinched the plants, you should ensure that the soil around the bonsai tree trunk's base does not have any leaf or debris of other plants. If you do not remove the debris, it may decompose and eventually create conditions that may be favourable for fungal diseases or moss growth, which are responsible for triggering root rot. Eventually, this may result in the death of the bonsai tree.
While moss definitely has an ornamental appearance, it is harmful for your bonsai. It has been found that moss forms an excellent shelter for various pests as well as their larvae. Now, it is up to the grower to make a decision whether he/ she prefer the decorative look of moss to the threat it poses to their bonsai tree.
In case you prefer the growth of moss on the surface of the soil, you should ensure that it is nowhere near the bonsai's trunk or branches. If at all you allow moss to grow, it should be at a distance from the plant. You can graze off all unwanted moss using a hard nylon toothbrush or a spatula. Whatever you decide, you should always thin down the moss regularly. Liverwort is closely related to moss. If you find it growing in your bonsai pot, you should immediately remove it from the surface of the soil and dump it in a garbage bin later. In case, you allow liverwort to fall on the ground, it will develop new roots and the spores will soon get to the base of the bonsai trees. However, there are certainly some exceptions. While removing liverwort from the trees, you should be careful not to damage or cut the bark or cut deep into the wood of the plant.
If you find any greenfly or larvae in the moss, you may apply insecticide to eliminate them. When there is grass around the bonsai tree's base, you may think that it looks very beautiful. However, you need to remember that, in addition to enhancing the risks of pest invasion and developing various diseases, grass may also absorb nutrients from the soil, thereby depriving your bonsai of their essential food. Hence, allowing grass to remain at the base of the plant is never a good idea. It is, therefore, advisable that you weed the base of the bonsai thoroughly from time to time and also ensure that the surface of the soil remains well aerated. Ideally, you should make use of a pair of tweezers to get rid of weeds. For all progressive bonsai growers, a pair of tweezers is very important equipment.
In addition to adopting the above-mentioned preventive measures, you should also constantly keep an eye on your bonsai tree and examine the condition of its leaves regularly, especially examining the underside of the leaves and the tree trunk closely. This is vital because it is possible that pests may sneak into the bonsai bark.
