Araucaria Cunninghamii Bonsai – Care
Light
Araucaria cunninghamii bonsai needs a bright, sunny location. It prefers full sun to stay healthy and maintain its compact, symmetrical growth. If kept indoors, place it near a south or west-facing window where it can receive several hours of direct sunlight daily. It can also tolerate partial sunlight, but a lack of light will result in a leggy plant.
Watering
Watering is a critical aspect of Araucaria cunninghamii bonsai care. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the top 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering again. During the summer, you may need to water daily, while in winter, reduce the frequency. Always ensure the pot has good drainage holes.
Humidity and Temperature
This tree is native to subtropical rainforests and prefers a warm, humid environment. Maintain a consistent indoor temperature between 18-24°C (64-75°F). To increase humidity, you can mist the tree regularly or place it on a humidity tray with pebbles and water. Avoid placing it near drafts or in areas with sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil and Repotting
Araucaria cunninghamii thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. A good bonsai soil mix for conifers often includes a combination of Akadama, pumice, and lava rock, which provides good water retention, aeration, and drainage. Repotting is typically done every 2-3 years in the spring.
Fertilizing
During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your bonsai with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. You can also use a nitrogen-heavy fertilizer. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter when the tree’s growth naturally slows down. Avoid over-fertilization, as these trees are sensitive to excess salts.
Pruning and Wiring
Araucaria cunninghamii is a challenging species to work with as a bonsai. It produces new growth in whorls, which can be coarse and strong. Pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and remove any dead or yellowing branches. Be cautious with heavy pruning, as these trees do not recover quickly. Wiring can be used to shape the branches, but it should be done carefully to avoid damaging the tree.
