Growing methods
Black alder is a marsh plant that particularly loves and needs wet soil. During the growing season, it must always be kept in water, for example with the help of a tray placed underneath. Black alder generally does not tolerate shade; it always needs a place with unrestricted sunlight.

Bonsai care
The best way to prevent diseases and pests is to cultivate plants according to their needs. There are some basic needs that every plant has. Sufficient light, the optimum substrate mixture, the right watering regime and fertilization adapted to the season. For indoor bonsai, ensure sufficient fresh air and air circulation and, above all, choose the right location.

Bonsai design
If a leaf does not get enough light, it dies and the tree forms too small buds in the "leaf axil". These small buds only sprout weakly the next year and slowly die off. If you lose many branches, the branching will not grow densely enough. This weakens the tree.

Growing methods
One of the many forms of plant grafting is oculation. This technique is particularly advantageous as the rice bud grows in very well and no wound is left behind.
