Bonsai Workshop: Summer Maintenance

Presented by Mike Draeger, the Bonsai Guy.

Summer bonsai care focuses onintense watering, providing afternoon shade, and regular maintenance pruning to handle rapid growth and high temperatures. Daily, or sometimes twice-daily, watering is essential as pots dry out quickly. Protect trees from intense sun with shade cloth, apply fertilizers regularly, and inspect for pests like mites and aphids.
