sudden curiosity, is bonsai cultivation basically extended exposure to the blue spectrum and training, or is it something else completely different?
Is blue spectrum a specific kind of light? But anyway, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when considering what a bonsai is. First of all you prune the roots in a way that favours the reduction of the size, you prune the leaves to make them smaller, and then there’s the aesthetic part of it. So yeah, it is not so much the exposure to the light.
yeah, i was referring to elector-magnetic radiation with the wavelength of ~400-500 nm, typically referred to as blue light, extended exposure to which of plants will produce short and and compact plants, which is the reason why i thought that it might be used when growing bonsai
do you have any beginner resources in mind that you could link to start growing bonsai?
The reduced size is mainly achieved by removing roots and pruning, and also the fact that you limit the growth’s size by having it in a small pot. Maybe light affects, too, and, I am unaware.
I am going to look for some tomorrow, I watched a youtuber when I began but he speaks Spanish, so I will try to find something in English.
