It is said that boxwood style is a good material for making bonsai How to make boxwood piles into bo

1.Drawn. The materials used in the current boxwood bonsai are basically propagated by artificial cuttings or seeding, and mature old piles are not only rare, but also extremely valuable.

2.Basins. The combination of flower pots and trees requires harmony, integration and complementarity.

3.Potting soil. Boxwood prefers slightly acidic soils, and fertile and loose nutrient soils with good drainage and air permeability are the best choices.

4.Trim. Before potting, a pruning is required.

After potting, it is necessary to consider the shape pruning, combined with techniques such as panza, to make boxwood shapes. 5.Sculpt.

Boxwood has a strong germination ability, and pruning is mainly to maintain the shape of the tree.

The boxwood is flattened, and the branches of the boxwood are horizontal, only the upper part has dense branches, and the lower part does not. It looks concise and capable, neat and clear. Let the main branches and upper branches of boxwood show an upward posture, and the rest of the messy small branches are all cut off, this shape will give people a positive attitude.

Potting: boxwood perennial oil green, should use purple sand pottery pots, pot color to purple or light yellow as well. The shape of the basin depends on the shape of the shape.

The cliff type should use a deep thousand cylinder basin, and the oblique or curved dry type should use an oval or rectangular basin.

Soil: Soil for bonsai is to be cooked with pastoral soil or humus soil mixed with appropriate ridge bran ash as the culture soil, which should be fertile and loose, and loam soil with good aeration and permeability is preferred. The pot on the old pile should be with the soil.

Planting: boxwood is more cold-tolerant, can be carried out before spring budding, planting should be pruned too long and too dense root system, do not make the root nest in the pot. Freshly planted boxwood should be placed in a semi-shaded place.

Boxwood has strong germination, before modeling, the main trunk can be truncated, so that the section around or below the germination of new technology, and then according to the requirements of artistic modeling, climbing branches, in the spring with brown silk climbing as well. It can also be coarsely tied and finely cut to make cloud flakes or steamed bread, or processed into a natural tree shape. The main trunk follows its natural trend and is made into an oblique dry or horizontal type.

If the boxwood pile scene is dotted with beautiful stones, it becomes "boxwood". Boxwood is very resistant to pruning, has strong germination force, and must be processed and shaped frequently in order to maintain a beautiful tree shape.

Commonly used in making bonsai are bird's tongue boxwood, melon seed boxwood, and pearl boxwood. In the south, the production of boxwood bonsai is more to the edge of the forest, beside the stream, and the barren mountains to dig the stump, after 1 year and 2 years of "embryo raising", it can be processed and shaped. Because boxwood is hard and thin-skinned, special care should be taken to avoid damaging the bark if it is shaped with wire.

Boxwood can be made into a variety of styles such as straight dry, oblique dry, and curved dry. The branches and leaves are often pruned into a cloud type, and they can also be tied into a natural style. The boxwood germinates strongly and is pruned several times a year to maintain the shape of the tree.

Bonsai material is the use of sowing or cuttings propagation, so that although a large number of seedlings can be obtained, but not only the cultivation time is long, and it is difficult to get the good material of the roots and claws, vigorous and strange. The second is to dig up the old pile, and the high-quality materials are mostly obtained by this method. In principle, boxwood can be dug all year round, but summer is the best, followed by spring and autumn, and the worst in winter.

After excavation, the pile blank can be wrapped in a plastic bag to moisturize the roots. When planting, the descending taproot should be removed, and it is best to seal all wounds with commercially available latex and cut off most of the leaves to prevent water loss and ensure survival. It can be raised in the open field or directly potted, but it must be cultivated for more than two years before it can be shaped.

Scientific name in Chinese: Huang Yang.

Synonyms: Mountain boxwood, millennium dwarf, small boxwood, whooping red, evergreen, bean plate boxwood, melon seed boxwood: plant kingdom.

Phylum: Angiosperm phylum.

Class: Dicotyledonous class.

1.It is shade-tolerant and light-loving, and can maintain good growth under general indoor and outdoor conditions. In long-term shade environment, although the leaves can remain green, they are prone to grow or weaken the branches.

2.It likes humidity and can tolerate rainy weather for about a month, but avoid standing water for a long time. 3.

Drought tolerant, as long as the surface soil or potting soil is not completely dry, there is no abnormal performance. 4.It is heat-resistant and cold-resistant, and can withstand summer exposure and severe cold of about minus 20 degrees Celsius, but it should be ventilated and transmitted more when it is hot and humid in summer.

5.The soil requirements are not strict, it is better to use easy and fertile sandy loam, and potted plants can also be used with vermiculite, peat or soil, which has strong alkali resistance. 6.

Extremely tillering, resistant to pruning, easy to form. 7.In autumn, when the sun is sufficient and dormant, the leaves turn red.

8.It can be changed or transplanted in four seasons, and transplanting should pay attention to shade and prevent the potting soil from being too wet in summer or when new shoots germinate, otherwise it is easy to cause the original leaves to fall off.

Tools and materials required: special aluminum wire for bonsai, boxwood.

1. The boxwood should be selected as robust and without any shape, and put it in a flower pot.

2. Aluminum wire is specially used to make plant bonsai modeling materials, which are sold on the Internet, with thick and thin diameters, and can be used to make them if they are about the same thickness as the branches.

3. Wrap the aluminum wire around the branch that needs to be shaped, and the distance should be about five millimeters.

4. Bonsai pays attention to one inch and three bends, so the straight branches must be bent, and there needs to be a sparse contrast and a change in the level.

5. According to the natural shape of the seedling, the initial shape can be divided into a rough shape, and the shape cannot be in place in one step, and it is constantly adjusted in the process of waiting for it to grow.

6. The bonsai should be stored in a cool and ventilated place, and after the shape is stable, the aluminum wire should be removed, so as not to affect the growth of the bonsai.

The plants selected for boxwood bonsai production can be sown and propagated or propagated by cuttings, and the branches are cultivated for many years and then transplanted on the pot, or they can be selected from the old piles of mature plants for bonsai production. For the old pile, it is necessary to dig out and prune first, so as to cut off the long roots and dense branches, and then raise the billet in the open air for one to two years before it can be potted. Here, special attention should be paid to the selection of plants and the pruning of roots according to the size of the bonsai pot.

The choice of bonsai pots The best boxwood bonsai pot is purple sand clay pot, and the color of the pot is best purple or light yellow, because this can match the oil green of boxwood, which is very beautiful. The shape of the bonsai pot should be judged according to the plant shape, and different bonsai pots should be selected for the cliff type and the oblique dry type.

Potting soil boxwood bonsai is best to choose fertile and loose, well-drained and ventilated soil, generally using ripened pastoral soil or humus soil mixed with ridge bran ash as culture soil. Note that the old pile should be potted with soil.

It is generally cultivated before budding in the spring and then placed in semi-shade. It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that the roots that are too long must be pruned to avoid being coiled in pots, which will affect nutrient transportation and is not conducive to healthy growth.

Before modeling, the main trunk should be cut off and new branches should grow, and then the branches should be climbed according to different modeling requirements, mainly cloud flakes or steamed bread shapes, natural tree types, and the main trunk can grow homeopathically. Since boxwood is highly germinating, it should be pruned frequently to maintain the tree's shape.
