Revive Your Tree with Bonsai Akadama

Baby your bonsai with the very best soils and supplements from Maiban, to ensure steady, robust development. Using a good base product that allows for free drainage and expansion will help your tree establish a strong root system. Japanese bonsai akadama is a premier item that is highly-valued amongst masters of the art and growers around the world. Those who plant with this soil report tremendous results, especially for trees that may have been recently transplanted or are struggling to survive. Gardeners are able to quickly identify whether or not their plant has the appropriate amount of moisture, as the surrounding soil becomes very dark when wet and a light tan color when dry. Combined with a healthy, organic additive like Superthrive Vegetable Food, you can ensure success with all of your plants.

Basic Care with Superthrive Vegetable Food

There's no real secret to keeping your trees happy and thriving for a lifetime. Basic care for your bonsai is all about setting a consistent watering schedule and correctly timing transplants, fertilization, and trimming with proper bonsai supplies. For those who may find it difficult to constantly watch their plant's level of moisture, bonsai akadama is a smart choice. A very porous but stable soil, it readily stores water and nutrients to release to the tree without becoming drenched.

Moving your tree from its' old container to a new one should be done every three to four years, depending on how quickly it grows. Transplanting should always be done in the spring, to allow a plant to become accustomed to its' new home before the hot summer months. Pruning or shaping your prized piece can be done throughout the year, but care should be exercised when wiring a branch, as scarring may occur. If left untreated, this could potentially threaten the overall health of the tree.

After any major shift or shave, a vitamin supplement will assist during the settling process and give your plant an invigorating boost. At Maiban Bonsai, we proudly feature Superthrive Vegetable Food, as a natural product that will nourish the root system and encourage growth. When it comes to bonsai, we have every root, trunk, branch and leaf covered.
