The Buxus Harlandii Bonsai is a double location plant.
Common Name: Buxus Harlandii
Scientific name: Buxus Harlandii
Characterization: Originally from Hong Kong, it is a species that belongs to the Buxace family.
This perennial bonsai is known for its dense foliage and small dark green oval leaves, which give it a very elegant and distinctive appearance.
The flowering of the Buxus Harlandii occurs in early spring, with small yellow flowers, which, although discreet, add a special charm to the plant. Its wood is hard and tough, making it ideal for modeling in Bonsai.
Location: You can live in an interior next to a window well exposed to the sun with a minimum of 2 to 3 hours daily and without climatization, where it should be rotated 180° weekly.
It can also live all year abroad since protected from strong winds and frosts, it is very sensitive to the lack of direct sun.
Water: To water abundantly the earth until a lot of water goes out through the drain holes in order to moisten evenly the soil, always above never by immersion, with a fine drain waterer.
Tips on watering, see technical data collection.
Let dry slightly the surface layer of the soil between each watering (to confirm if the plant already needs water, touch the earth with the fingers).
If you have a dish under Bonsai, never leave any water in it (to prevent the roots from rotting).
There is no advantage in spraying the leaves, just do it in the days when it adds up and if the fertilizer goes for foliar application, but ensure that they arrive dry at night to avoid fungi.
