welcome to my channel
in this video i'm going to show you the bonsai defoliation
this is a ficus bonsai tree
cut the leaves using twig shear
we can also use leaf cutter
defoliation is one of the techniques mainly used to reduce the size of leaves
and also stimulate growth and increase the number of leaves over time
defoliation stimulates production of delicate new branchlets
allowing twice the growth in a single growing season
before defoliation ,be sure the tree is healthy
If the tree is unhealthy to begin with, defoliating can kill it
using the tools and methods for defoliation
leaves and buds may sometimes be pinched off with the fingers
but it is best to have a good pair of sharp pruning scissors
keep shears clean by wiping them with antiseptic
after complete defoliation, place the bonsai in partial sun
and pour less water after defoliation because there are no leaves to nourish
do not attempt to defoliate during the dormant seasons of spring and winter
in summer trees are actively growing leaves
after two weeks new buds will begin to appear
after three weeks
after five to six weeks
in this time we can give enough water and nutrients to the bonsai tree
thanks for watching
