To cultivate Australian cedar bonsai, you need to use weakly acidic soil that is easy to drain, loose, and rich in nutrients, and place it in a warm place with diffuse light. Keep the soil slightly moist during the growing season and apply compound fertilizer every two weeks. Begin to reduce watering in late autumn. Usually, it is necessary to promptly prune off its diseased branches and dead branches, and pay attention to ventilation to prevent insect infestation.

1. Breeding environment

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It has higher soil requirements. In addition to the necessary conditions of easy drainage, looseness, and high nutrition, it is also necessary to consider its pH requirements. It is best to use acidic soil.

2. Watering: It is more afraid of drought, so it needs sufficient water and no lack of water. Keep the soil slightly moist from spring to fall, but reduce watering after late fall.

3. Lighting: Scattered light is most suitable, neither too dark nor too bright.

4. Temperature: Warm is best, but not higher than 32 degrees. Cool down appropriately in summer.

5. Fertilization: required during the growing season, once every two weeks. The best type is compound fertilizer.

2. Pest control

Australian fir does not have many pests and diseases, but its bonsai is susceptible to scale insects. Therefore, ventilation should be paid attention to during breeding. If there are bugs, be sure to use pesticides to get rid of them in time to prevent them from causing major harm. Usually, we should focus on prevention and try not to wait until it appears before treating it.

3. Regular pruning

For a bonsai, pruning is a necessary step. Daily pruning can target some dry leaves and branches that are infected with diseases and insect pests. What is more important is to trim and shape its shape. When its branches grow messy and affect the view, it should be pruned according to personal aesthetics.
