What is the meaning of panza in bonsai? How to maintain bonsai plants after they are pricked

Panza is a technique used for styling.

This commonly used technique is used to artistically process bonsai and shape the style of bonsai. Wrapping wire around a tree branch can bend and reset the branch. The branches will get used to their new position after a few months, at which point the wire should be removed.

Double filament tie method. 1.First of all, select the two branches to be pierced, and the branches should be the same thickness and similar position. Remember that the wire should be wrapped around the trunk at least once so that it does not turn when the branch is bent later.

2.Before piercing the tree, cut the wire of the appropriate length. The wire will be used to tie the trunk and branches.

3.Tie the trunk first with wire, then to the first branch.

Before tying another branch, tie the branch from the connector to the top. The wires are tied to the branches at a 45-degree angle, so that the tree can grow thicker while maintaining its shape.

4.If you want to bend the branches directly down towards the main trunk, make sure that the wire is from the bottom to the top (see Figure 1 - blue arrows). If the branches are to be bent upwards towards the main trunk, the wire should be bent from the top down (see the red arrows in Figure 1).

5.After tying the branches two by two, use the monofilament tie method to tie the remaining branches.

Monofilament tie method. 1.Cut the right length of the silk and wrap it around the branch at a 45-degree angle at least two turns, as is the case with the double filament method.

2.When using multiple wires in the same part of the trunk or branch, try to arrange the wires in a parallel pattern (see Figure 2).

3.Continue to prickle the branches.

The time of miscellaneous bonsai binding, on the basis of vegetable sprouts and branches, the first year of pile blank binding is suitable in late September and early October. Generally, the pile billet has begun to sprout before and after Qingming Festival, and after nearly half a year of growth, the branches have basically reached the degree of semi-lignification or lignification; At this time, the branches are soft and elastic, the branches are not easy to break, and there is a growth period in October Xiaoyangchun, helping to tie the appropriate branches is easy to shape, and the wire is free before and after the leaves fall, so that it does not affect the growth of the next year. If it is tied for winter, the bonsai should be placed in a sunny and sheltered place.

The best period for binding in the following year is before and after the sting, when the tree billet is in the dormant recovery stage, and if it is too late, the buds will be knocked off, which is not conducive to operation and affects the growth of the pile billet. Copper wire is better for binding, followed by aluminum wire, and iron wire is the most taboo. The color of the copper wire is basically the same as the color of the branches of the finch plum, and it is not easy to rust, whether in the molding period or in the modeling period, it is conducive to ornamentation and makes people happy.

Aluminum wire and copper wire have their things in common, the difference is that it is not good for viewing after binding. The color of the aluminum wire is too bright, and it dominates. Iron wire is easy to rust, which is not conducive to the growth of branches, especially the iron oxide after rusting of old iron wires corrodes the branches, resulting in poor growth of branches and even death.

The ratio between the thickness of the shoots to be tied to the size of the wire used is 5 to 1, i.e. the shoots are 5 mm thick, and the required wire is 1 millimeter. The branches that are too thin are not easy to bend according to the requirements they envision, and they have to be brought back by the branches.

If it is too thick, it is easy to break the branches. If the branches cannot be bent according to the desired ratio according to such a ratio, add a metal wire of the same specification, do not replace it with a thick metal wire of excessive proportion, otherwise the branches will be easy to break. Tie the branches by pressing the wire against the trunk and extending in a clockwise spiral from the base of the branch to the tip of the branch.

It is to tie the branches that are too long or too straight in an S-shape.

Bonsai modeling aluminum wire is the most convenient method. Using the hardness of the aluminum wire, the branches are bent according to their own modeling intentions, and the branches are positioned in a suitable position to make the branch layout of the overall bonsai and increase the angle change of the branches. There are the following points to pay attention to when modeling aluminum wires:

The first point is the size of the aluminum wire during modeling:

The size of the aluminum wire is 1 2 to 2 3 in the shape of the branches, and the oversized aluminum wire is easy to stir off the bark when it is made. Aluminum wire that is too small is too easy to eat the skin. If the branches are too thick, add winding hemp rope to protect the bark, then tie them with multiple aluminum wires, and then twist the branches and bend them.

The grading method, according to the trunk, the size of the branches, the use of different aluminum wires, can not be convenient, an aluminum wire throughout the production of the branches.

Second, the stage of slow basin after aluminum wire modeling:

First, the shape of the aluminum wire, the twisting and the twisting of the branches will slow down the transport channel of nutrients and water, and the branches on the branches will be properly pruned, leaving enough apical buds, leaf growth, and driving the transport of nutrients and water. Pruning off the apical buds can easily lead to dehydration of dry branches.

Second, the aluminum wire modeling is equivalent to a major operation on the plant, and the plant is appropriately moved to a shady, well-ventilated position for slow potting. The shape of the branches affects the speed of water **, and too much light will cause the branches to lose water.

Third: Hydration, nutrient supplementation

First, the bonsai plants after the aluminum line modeling, in addition to normal watering, observe the dry soil of the flowers, "if you don't dry it, you will water it thoroughly". It is also necessary to spray the branches frequently to replenish moisture to the styling branches.

Second, after modeling, the bonsai will not be fertilized in the early 10-day slow potting stage. At the end of the slow potting, the appropriate balance is supplemented with "nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium" three-element fertilizer. The "thin fertilizer" after the modeling is slightly diluted than the usual fertilization.

"Nitrogen" promotes the growth of branches and leaves, and "phosphorus and potassium" promote the growth of roots. It can restore the growth of bonsai as soon as possible.

Summary: Bonsai plant aluminum line Panza pays attention to the proportion of aluminum line. Pay attention to the gentle potting. At the end of the slow potting, thin fertilizer method, timely replenishment of nutrients.

The sowing method is to shape the stump with brown or metal wire. Brown silk panza is a traditional bonsai stump modeling method, generally the trunk or branches into a semi-circular bend, repeat or change the shape, this bend is called "Chinese turn". The operation of brown silk includes wire building, silk turning, wire stealing, knotting, etc.

The wire is divided into back, winding, hoop, etc.; The flicker is divided into single-strand flip, single-strand flip, double-strand flip, double-strand flip, and double-strand flip; Stealing silk is divided into hanging stealing and hanging stealing. flat stealing, semi-bending stealing, stalking stealing, etc.; Remaining knots are divided into slipknots, fixed knots, upper knots, lower knots, flat knots, etc.; There are half bends, crescent bends, one-inch three-bends, meter bends, etc.

The pan of the wire is to use copper wire or lead wire to shape the tree blank, this method is simple and easy, flexion and stretch freely, but there is trouble when dismantling, generally use lead wire, copper wire ** is higher. The thickness of the wire is determined according to the thickness of the trunk and branches, and gauge 14 to 20 filaments are more commonly used. When tying, one end of the wire is fixed at the base or intersection of the branch, and then wound tightly against the bark.

Twist the branches (stems) while wrapping, left or right, and the silk is at a 45-degree angle to the trunk (branches). The force should be even, in order to prevent spraining the cambium layer and bark of the trunk (branches), if it is easy to peel the tree species or thick stem, you can wrap the branches with hemp, brown bark and so on before winding.

Regardless of whether the brown silk or metal wire is pricked, sometimes when the trunk is thicker and not easy to bend, the trunk can also be opened longitudinally or horizontally to make it easy to bend. The longitudinal opening has dragon force method and hob method; Transversely, there is a single incision method or a continuous incision method.

Sequence branches are cut off, coarsely tied and finely pruned.

1. It is best to properly control the water of the potting soil before bonsai climbing. That is, wait for the leaves to wilt slightly before watering, so that the branches of the tree are soft and easy to bend.

2. For tree species with thin bark and easy to damage, you can wrap the branches with hemp bark or paper, and then wrap the wire.

3. The section of the wire root wrapped around the main trunk must be inserted into the potting soil to fix it.

4. The first circle of winding should be fixed with the trunk and then wound to the top.

5. The order of climbing is the main trunk first, the lateral branches at the back, and the last branch; The lower branches first, then the upper branches, and finally the top. Note that the wire is kept at an angle of about 45 degrees to the branch, twisting and twisting to create a bend with the thumb.

6. Do not bend too hard to prevent breaking branches or damaging the bark. The curved protrusion of the branch must be passed by a metal wire so that it is not easy to break.

7. When climbing a certain branch, another branch can be used to fix each other. When winding the last turn, the wire ends can be reversed to prevent loosening.

8. The wire can be wound in the clockwise direction, and it can also be wound in the counterclockwise direction, depending on the direction of twisting. If necessary, you can use the branches to change the angle in the middle of the way.

9. When cutting the wire, it is advisable to put the scissors at a right angle to the wire to avoid the formation of a sharp shape at the cut point.

10. Between the wire and the climbing branches, leave a little gap that is not easy to see, not too tight or too loose, to avoid excessive pressure of the wire and damage to the bark.

11. When winding multiple small branches on the same branch, it is necessary to take spaced winding, that is, after the wire is wound around the first branch, skip the second branch and wrap the third branch; After wrapping the second branch, skip the third, wrap around the fourth, and so on.
