Terms of light modes for growing bonsai, light technology, a description and photo
It is known that in the territories of our region’s climate is not one that is a perfect match for the cultivation of bonsai. Presented fact negatively affects the light factor. The difficulty lies in the fact that we have a few days to an end quickly, but in tropical or subtropical regions, the days are much longer lasting. Japanese art fans decided to go against all climatic conditions and create your own. In today’s world there are many different lighting systems in which a miniature tree will not suffer from the lack of light.
Consider the time intervals of the bonsai when you need the most light. This, of course, winter. The greatest deficiency of solar color overtakes the mini-trees in the cold freezing temperatures. As soon as there comes the end of October – worth helping bonsai lighting, similar assistance should last about a month before the beginning of March. This article will be referred to the standard rules, designed to bonsai with fundamentals.
Studies have shown that as there are different kinds of plants presented – the same conditions and for content. Therefore, before you buy the baby bonsai, you must be completely familiar with all the characteristics and features of trees. There is some basic information of the rules that need to be taken into account when choosing places of eastern plants, they are justified for all varieties of Japanese art.
Thus, we present the basic parameters of lighting. Firstly, it is necessary to take into account – the side light. Often we observe in our homes, that despite the temperature of a window in the building in each of the rooms of different thermal attributes, depending on where the sun and where less solar zone. It’s no secret that the bonsai likes heat, so do not be a mistake to put a flower on the most sunny place. Secondly, – a certain distance from the window. If the tree is in the warmest spot in the house, then the value of exactly where to put the bonsai does not really matter, as long as the window. For example, on a window sill, near a window for curtains or the same window with no curtains, somewhere in the room. The main task is to on tree in direct sunlight. It is necessary to look carefully to see if something that prevents bonsai zhivitsya sun. Disabilities may be even the smallest variety of indoor plants, not to mention the big houses or planted trees that completely withdrawn bonsai opportunity to bathe in the sun. Also, when choosing a site for the plant should be aware of the fact that the curtains tend to absorb sunlight, so if tree is behind them, it is necessary to lift or push aside the curtains during the day. Representation of images, providing natural lighting is guaranteed for varieties.
It is known that the sun’s rays fall at different angles. So you should talk about where it will feel more comfortable bonsai. There are two comfort zone. The first – on the eastern window on the left side, or the second, on the west window on the right side. It is almost impossible to guess what kind of amount of sun falls on this or that space, so there is a special device for this purpose – photographic exposure meters, except it also uses light meter. With the presented technical inventions easy to find desired information about what exactly the amount of the sun falls on a certain unit area. Restrictions for each type of indoor plant diversity modified from 550 to 5000 lux. The fact that the warm rays of the sun is impossible to use for the development of bonsai throughout the year a little upset, but even in such situations there is a way. With each passing day becoming increasingly popular artificial light sensors that help maintain the level of lighting in those days, when it is especially needed. These seasons include the interval between the end of October and the beginning of the first month of spring. A similar problem the world faced a lot of owners indoor plants, so there are a few lighting alternatives. For example, fluorescent lamps, high pressure mercury lamps and presence, ordinary fluorescent lights, and halogen lamps of economical gas-metallic substances. It would seem that presented tools to help develop and grow bonsai, but this is misleading. The main thing is not to overdo it with a haughty presence of a piece of light, it will be detrimental to the tree.
Another important rule: you must completely abandon incandescent lamps. Their color is not like the daytime, but efficiency (efficiency) very low. In practice, it is proved that the best results are minimal negative impact produce fluorescent lamps. Buy a similar invention is simple, but that’s just there are some areas of lamps having different formations and colorings. If, however, it was decided to establish a halogen gas-metal light lamp, you should consider a few rules. The installation is in a horizontal position. Effectiveness depends UV location: the closer to the plant – more effective. The important thing to remember about the process of thermal curing and adversely impact on the bonsai.
Earlier it was mentioned that the artificial light illumination is not desirable to use at all times of the year, therefore, it is necessary to know exactly how to install the lamp in relation to the plant. Ideally, the distance between the plants should not exceed 20-55 cm. Sami ultraviolet rays should be directed to the bonsai so that sufficiently covered every square meter of surface. The plant must be covered with a minimum power of 70 watts. In warm periods (spring, summer) represented by the plant almost does not need artificial help, but in colder seasons (autumn, winter) sapling need to provide more light and heat.
