Japanese Kiyonal Bonsai Tree Wound Sealant – 100g Tube

Kiyonal Bonsai Tree Wound Sealant – 100g Tube

The Kiyonal Bonsai Tree Wound Sealant, presented in a 100g tube, is a specialised greenish paste designed to conceal and safeguard minor injuries and cuts on bonsai trees. This essential product plays a crucial role in preserving the vitality of your bonsai following pruning or branch removal. When applied promptly after a cut, it creates a protective layer that defends the wound against diseases, decay, and infections. Additionally, the sealant includes components that encourage quicker healing, ensuring your bonsai recovers efficiently.

This versatile wound sealant is user-friendly. To apply, simply dispense a small amount onto your fingertip and cover the wound thoroughly. It dries rapidly, forming a protective film that supports the healing of cuts and grafts. It is also effective for application on thicker roots after trimming.

Directions for Use:

1. Begin by cleaning the wound on your bonsai tree.
2. Apply a small amount of cut paste directly onto the wound.
3. Gently smooth the paste over the wound with your finger, ensuring it forms a protective layer.
4. If needed, reapply the paste throughout the healing process

Use Bonsai Cut Paste for Larger Wounds

For larger wounds, especially those resulting from significant branch removals, we recommend using our bonsai cut paste, available in brown and grey. This paste is particularly beneficial for trees like Ficus bonsai, which tend to exude a lot of sap, providing a more subtle healing process with minimal scarring. However, for smaller wounds, you may opt to not use a sealant for a more natural appearance.

The white sap that oozes from a Ficus bonsai during pruning is known as latex. This milky substance serves as a natural defense mechanism for the tree. When a branch or stem is severed, the latex emerges from the wound. Thus, aiding in sealing it and protecting the tree from pests and infections. The latex contains compounds that can repel insects and other threats. In Ficus trees, this latex can flow abundantly, especially when larger branches or roots are pruned.

It helps minimise sap and moisture loss while indicating the tree’s effort to heal. Although this response is normal, managing it properly is vital in bonsai care, as excessive bleeding can stress the tree. Utilising a wound sealant like Kiyonal or cut paste can help halt the latex flow and promote faster recovery, ensuring your Ficus bonsai stays healthy. Whether you require Kiyonal for smaller, delicate wounds or cut paste for larger injuries, we offer the ideal solution to help your bonsai flourish.
