1. Can banyan bonsai be covered with moss?

Banyan bonsai can be covered with moss. You can select suitable moss larvae from nurseries and other places, and pay attention to letting it bring a little soil from the place where it grows, which can maintain its vitality and make moss transplantation easier. Covering the banyan bonsai with moss has a certain moisturizing effect. The banyan bonsai itself prefers water and humidity. When watering it, it is generally better to be wet than dry. Therefore, covering it with a layer of moss can moisturize it more, and will not affect the plant's breathing and ventilation, and can also enhance the beauty.

2. How to grow moss

The key to growing moss on a banyan bonsai is to keep the environment moist and avoid light. Moss generally gets its nutrients from the air rather than from the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the environment suitable.

You can spray more water on the surface of the pot soil and around the plants to keep the breeding environment moist, but be careful not to accumulate water. And avoid sunlight, otherwise it will easily accelerate the evaporation of water in the pot soil, which is not conducive to the growth of moss. It can be temporarily maintained in a relatively dark environment, and soon moss will grow.

After growing moss, you should pay attention to maintenance. First of all, the temperature should not be lower than 25 degrees Celsius. Moss is not cold-resistant. In winter, try not to be lower than 15 degrees Celsius. In terms of watering, it is necessary to replenish water in time and increase the humidity of the surrounding environment by spraying water, which is required to be above 80%. In terms of light, both banyan bonsai and moss prefer light, but they cannot be exposed to the sun. They can tolerate semi-shade and can be maintained in an environment with more scattered light.
