Sawara cypress bonsai 3-12

€50.00 TTC
Data sheet

The Sawara cypress bonsai - Chamaecyparis Pisifera "Boulevard" - is a hardy conifer, prized for its dense, supple, bluish-green foliage. Its foliage captures light well, providing beautiful visual depth, and changes color with the seasons: bluer in summer with warmth and good fertilizer, then slightly purple or violet in winter. Its regular growth, supple wood, and good tolerance to wiring make it an easy tree to train, even for beginners. This hardy tree is resistant to cold and can be grown outdoors year-round.

Cultivation Advice

Outdoors all year round, the Chamaecyparis prefers cool, not too sunny, and rather partial shade. Therefore, avoid overly dry climates.

It requires a consistently moist soil. Water it regularly, allowing the root ball to dry slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering.

In spring/summer, water regularly; in warm weather, it's daily! However, in winter, water according to your soil monitoring. Thanks to rain and cold weather, you won't necessarily need to water regularly since the soil will remain moist.

Important: Don't hesitate to water the entire root ball, right down to the roots; the water will drain through the holes at the bottom of the pot, or soak the tree in water (draining) for a few minutes to ensure you've thoroughly watered the roots. We do not recommend placing a saucer or container under your pot as water will stagnate and can cause root rot. (Too much water = asphyxiation).

In the nursery, we use agricultural potting soil composed of black peat, blond peat, aged organic soil, topsoil, horse manure, and pozzolan. Repotting should be done every two years, preferably in the fall.

This variety does not appreciate excessive pruning. Therefore, prune very lightly in the summer, always leaving the foliage intact.

In the nursery, we use blue tomato/flower fertilizer NPK 12, 12, 17. Add a handful (small or large depending on the size of the pot) to the substrate every two months from spring, from May to October.
