Bantigue Bonsai Care
I water my pemphis up to three times a day during summer and twice a day during other parts of the year.
Bantigue bonsai care. Like most plants and trees bantigue and other bonsai specimen need special care and maintenance. I m new in the art of bonsai and i m inviting everyone to make a comment and suggestion on what will be the best appearance for my collections. Pemphis bonsai should be positioned under direct and full sunlight for the whole day if possible. During rainy season spry your bantigue once a month with sevin insecticide and dithane 45 fungicide to avoid pest aphids and fungus.
These bonsai material are newly collected in the wild last sept. Re pot or change soil river sand or s1 of your bantigue every 6 to 8 years depends on how you feed your trees every day. Gopiao cited that the philippines has many trees that offer potential such askamuning lantana and the lowly santan. They are grown in small containers and trimmed and trained so that they remain small and elegant.
I remember the time when a prominent bonsai expert from pangasinan advised me that since bantigue is naturally found growing along the coastal area it needed the occasional salt spray to get optimal growth development that it desperately needs. A location which has good air circulation is ideal. Best time for re potting is after summer. Its dominance drove the bonsai enthusiasts to eschew the other trees for bantigue.
