Zelkova nire - B5005
€25.00
VAT included
Native to Japan and Korea, Zelkova nire is a dwarf variety of Zelkova serrata, highly valued in bonsai for its compact growth, attractive flaking bark, and small, serrated, bright green leaves that turn yellow, orange, and red in autumn. It is a hardy species, ideal for both beginners and experienced bonsai enthusiasts.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Direct sunlight enhances autumn colours and overall vigour.
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. During summer, it may require more frequent watering.
Humidity: Adapts well to various humidity levels but prefers moderately humid conditions. Occasional misting helps during hot days.
Pruning: Can be pruned several times throughout the growing season to maintain shape and promote fine ramification. Perform heavier pruning in late winter before new growth starts.
Fertilization: Feed from spring to autumn with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding during midsummer and stop during winter.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years in spring, before new growth begins. Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
Flowering and Fruiting: The flowers are small and inconspicuous. The main ornamental appeal lies in the foliage and textured bark.
