One of the biggest bonsai myths? “That tree must be hundreds of years old.” While some bonsai are very old, many are much younger than you expect. Bonsai isn’t just about age, it’s about technique. What’s something about bonsai that you’re not sure is true?

Apart from watering thoroughly, providing shade is the other essential method to help your bonsai trees cope with such extreme high temperatures. northofenglandbonsai.com #Heatwave #BonsaiCare #Watering #TakeExtraCare

As temperatures continue to remain high, carefully watch the temperature of your soil as bonsai are kept in shallow pots so soil temperature can very easily rise to dangerous levels. northofenglandbonsai.com #Heatwave #BonsaiCare #Watering #TakeExtraCare

Dependent on the species of bonsai tree, some take to extreme heat better than others. Tropical trees as well as Pines for example can take far higher temperatures than say a Maple. Low humidity is another risk as well as intense sunlight. northofenglandbonsai.com

During such an unprecedented heat wave, we need to take extra care of our bonsai. Keeping a careful eye on your trees and managing a regular watering schedule is, therefore, crucial. northofenglandbonsai.com #Heatwave #BonsaiCare #Watering #TakeExtraCare
