How to repot in spring

As a bonsai that grows very quickly, Cheeky needs to change the soil every spring, so that the old flowers will be repotted. Carefully remove it from the pot, mix a small amount of the original soil with most of the new soil, and place it again in the pot.

How to prune in summer and autumn

If the cheeky leaves want to grow more vigorously, they need to be carefully pruned by the owner. Novices who have no maintenance experience should not cut off the original tree shape at will. Simply cut off some branches and leaves that are too dense according to the prototype. There are also some old leaves that have lost their freshness and diseased and yellowed leaves that need to be trimmed. Secondly, the principle of small amounts and multiple times should be followed. Do not prune on a large scale at one time, otherwise it will affect the entire plant.

Year-round water and fertilizer management

Although the name of Cheeky may sound more superficial, it still has relatively high requirements in terms of water management. Generally, more water is needed in the hot and hot seasons of summer. You can water a small amount every morning and evening. During the growth period, it only needs to be watered about three or two times a week. In addition, when watering, be careful not to pour a large amount of water into the soil, otherwise it will cause root rot, so spraying the leaves with a watering can is the best way to water. If you fertilize more in summer and less in winter, just the right amount in spring and autumn.
