Growing Tips

Location : outside all year round and it does not require any special protection. Half-Shade Essence

Watering : it should be controlled and moderated. Let the root ball dry out a little between waterings to avoid excess moisture. Protect the pine tree during periods of prolonged rain to prevent the tips of the needles from turning yellow.

Substrate and repotting : in the spring just after the buds start to grow. Choose a well-draining substrate that will avoid stagnant moisture at the roots. Repot every 3 years for forming pines, then space them out as they mature and become denser.

Pruning : Always leave needles and buds on a branch you cut back, otherwise it will dry out. Shorten the longest branches, the twigs at the back will take over.

Fertilization : On a mature bonsai, fertilize only from summer onwards. On a growing pine tree that you want to grow or densify, start fertilizing in late spring.

Ligation : during the winter until the beginning of spring so as not to damage the buds and candles. The mugo pine has a fairly soft wood that is quite easy to tie and allows for fairly free shaping.
