Plum Pine/ Podocarpus

 150.00

This is a densely compact evergreen conifer shrub or narrow, conical tree that grows well in coastal NC and grows up to 6.5′ tall, although the tree form of this plant can grow up to 50′. In colder regions, it can be used as a container plant to be brought in from the outdoors during the winter months.  It adapts well to shearing so that it is sometimes used in topiary design. Its tolerance for low light allows for good growth in brightly lit rooms as a houseplant.  You may see this plant in commercial buildings such as offices or shopping malls, growing under skylights.  Where it is winter hardy, it can be grown as a large hedge or screen.  The foliage is pleasantly fragrant when crushed.  This plant can also be grown as a specimen and background plant.

Fertilize: Young, faster-growing Chinese yews are fertilized in the spring with mineral fertilizer, later with organic fertilizer (for example, with Biogold or Hanagokoro) every 4-6 weeks to about September. Older Chinese yews Bonsai get a little less. The Liquid bonsai fertilizer offered in the shop are well suited too and easy to use. In case of liquid fertilizers, you can also give twice as much you can read on the bottle during the growing season.

Watering: Water well in well-drained soil and keep the substrate moderately moist during the growing period. Short-term dryness they tolerate quite well, but should be avoided. In the room must be poured much less. It depends strongly on the temperature and the air movement in the room. In the summer in the apartment about every 1-2 days to be poured. In winter it may be that only once a week must be poured.

Location: Podocarpus bonsai (as one of the few conifers) can be kept in the room all year long. Here a very bright and sunny location at the window is necessary.

Nevertheless, an outdoor location is preferable from spring to autumn. There it can stay until the frost line. If you get adapt the Buddhist pine to the sun outdoors in the spring then this should happen gently (otherwise a sunburn can happen). Simply put outdoors for 14 days, but partially shaded. Thereafter, the Buddhist pine can be placed in a full sun.
