The Crucial Link Between Climate and Bonsai
Natural and Precise Adaptation
Climate is one of the primary factors influencing bonsai growth, health, and longevity. Here are some essential points:
-
Growth and survival: Each species has evolved to thrive in a specific climate. For example, ficus trees, native to tropical regions, require consistent temperatures and high humidity.
-
Root and foliage health: Climatic variations such as extreme temperatures, prolonged drought, or extended humidity can weaken bonsai, making them vulnerable to disease.
-
Species adaptability: While some species, like pines, tolerate various climates, others, like azaleas, demand stricter conditions to thrive.
