How to maintain the old stump bonsai?

Because the finch plum often has to be stocked in the ground, so when potting, the flower soil is not easy to have soil with high fertilizer efficiency, and it is recommended that the soil can be potted with sandy garden soil with one-third of the gravel. When stocking in the ground, put some bottom fertilizer in the tree pit.

After the bonsai is potted, the early watering is in addition to "seeing the dry and wet", watering thoroughly. In addition, it is necessary to spray frequently to moisturize the branches. However, after a period of potting, there is a gap between dry and wet time between the flower soil. In order to avoid the growth of branches and leaves with large water, it will affect the shape of the branches.

Maintain the plum, and then maintain the astigmatism ventilation ring in a good position after potting. After stocking, it is sunny and well ventilated. There is little soil in the pot and there is little space, so astigmatism is maintained. Under the field stocking, the root system of the finch plum is well developed in the soil to form a large net. Therefore, full sunshine is more suitable.

Nutrient supplementation of finch plum is recommended to be carried out during the stocking phase. Put bottom fertilizer in the tree pit, increase the nutrients in the later stage, and give water to the mature animal manure, and supplement "nitrogen" to promote the growth of branches and leaves. A small amount of "phosphorus and potassium" compound fertilizer was applied to promote root growth.

Due to the lack of soil and thin fertilizer, the bonsai is susceptible to the influence of the external climate and the invasion of diseases and insects. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in pruning, fertilizing, watering, repotting, cold protection and pest control; and control the growth to maintain the graceful posture of the tree.

The stump bonsai can be pruned all year round, and the long branches and over-dense branches that hinder the shape can be cut off at any time, so that the stump can maintain a beautiful shape, and the branches and leaves are sparse and dense, ventilated and transmitted, and the occurrence of pests and diseases can be reduced.

Be careful not to make the potting soil too wet or too dry. Water once in the morning and once in the evening. In order to shorten the branches and leaves and make the shape more beautiful, the water can be appropriately controlled during the spring and summer growth periods.

For soil selection, humus, sand, and pine needle soil should be mixed and stirred according to 1:1:1, and the potting treatment should be done at intervals of one year; Enough sunlight, ensure that there is enough sunlight time every day, and in summer, you can do a reasonable shade treatment; Reasonable watering, try to keep the soil layer moist as often as possible, watering every 2 3 days in autumn and spring, and once every 1 day in summer; Fertilizer management, top dressing at intervals of 30 days during growth and development.

The root of the finch plum has very high requirements for the soil layer, and the soil should be mixed and stirred evenly according to the humus, sand, and pine needle soil according to 1:1:1, and a little bottom fertilizer can be added to the soil layer before planting, and the pot treatment should be done at intervals of one year to facilitate the growth and development of the roots.

The most direct way is to manually wash it off and apply a stone sulfur mixture to prevent it.

The cultivation methods of magpie plum bonsai are potting soil selection, water requirements, pruning branches and hail leaves, fertilization management and light management, etc.

First, the choice of potting soil
