€90.00
VAT included
Originating from a vast area stretching from southwestern Europe to southeastern Asia, Pyracantha , or "Firethorn", is a highly prized species in the bonsai world. Its most distinctive features include a spectacular spring flowering of small white flowers, followed by an abundant production of vibrant fruits that persist through autumn and winter, ranging from yellow to orange and intense red, depending on the variety. It is a densely growing plant with evergreen foliage, with small leaves and, notably, branches with sharp thorns, which makes it ideal for bonsai creation.
Sunlight: Pyracantha prefers full sun for best flowering and fruiting. It can tolerate partial shade, but fruit production will be lower.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist , but never soggy. Allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. It is more drought tolerant than azaleas, but still needs regular watering, especially in bonsai pots.
Humidity: Pyracantha is not as picky about humidity as azalea, but still benefits from moderate levels. A humidity tray is not necessary unless the environment is extremely dry.
Pruning: Pruning is crucial to shaping and maintaining the shape of your bonsai. Prune new growth to encourage branching and maintain a compact size. Wire pruning can be done throughout the growing season, but be careful of the thorns!
Fertilization: Fertilize your Pyracantha during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce or stop fertilizing in late summer and fall.
Transplanting: Repot your Pyracantha every 2-3 years , ideally in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
Flowering and Fruiting: Pyracantha is known for its white flowers that appear in spring, followed by a profusion of colorful berries (yellow, orange or red) that persist from fall through winter. Proper pruning can help encourage good fruit production.
