Care and Craftsmanship
for your trees
Maintaining a bonsai requires precision, patience and knowledge of the unique needs of each tree. As a bonsai professional, I offer comprehensive maintenance services that ensure your bonsai develops healthily, retains its beauty and is cared for down to the smallest detail. All this according to the principles of bonsai art and with respect for the natural cycle of the tree.
Schedule maintenance
Regular Maintenance Visits
Your bonsai deserves constant attention and care. That is why I schedule periodic maintenance visits, tailored to the growth and development phase of your tree. These visits vary per season and can be both preventive and corrective, depending on the needs of the tree.
Pruning and Shaping
Pruning a bonsai is an art in itself. By strategically removing branches and leaves, the tree’s shape is refined and its health is promoted. Pruning is essential not only for maintaining aesthetics, but also to optimally distribute the tree’s energy and stimulate further growth.
Wiring and Shape Correction
Wiring is a technique used to direct the branches of the bonsai in the desired direction and create a harmonious shape. I apply wiring carefully, taking into account the growth cycle of the tree, and remove wires in time to prevent damage. This process helps the tree to maintain its shape and develop further.
Repotting and Root Maintenance
Repotting is a crucial part of bonsai care, and is typically done every two to five years, depending on the species and size of the tree. Replacing the pot and soil mix ensures that the roots have enough space and nutrients. During repotting, I carefully inspect and prune the roots to prevent overgrowth and maintain a healthy root structure.
Fertilization and Soil Maintenance
The health of a bonsai starts with the soil. Regular fertilization is essential to provide the tree with the necessary nutrients, especially during the growth phases in spring and summer. I assess the soil quality, adjust the substrate if necessary and create a fertilization schedule that perfectly suits the needs of your specific tree species.
Seasonal Care
Each bonsai species requires specific care that is related to the seasons. In spring and summer, growth is the focus, while in autumn and winter the focus is on rest and preparation for the next growing season. I adapt my maintenance to the seasonal needs of your tree, such as protection against extreme temperatures, and ensure that it is optimally prepared for the changes in the weather.
Preparation for Shows
For bonsai enthusiasts who wish to display their trees, I offer a specialized service for the preparation of trees for shows and exhibitions. This includes precise shaping, cleaning the pot, moss planting, and creating an overall presentation that meets the strict standards of the art of bonsai. I ensure that your tree is in top condition and its natural beauty is shown to its full potential.
Personal Advice
and Aftercare
After each maintenance session, you will receive advice on the daily care of your bonsai, such as water and light requirements, and tips for further development. For emergencies or specific questions, I am always available, so that you are assured of continuous support.
