What is a big drift branch in bonsai making, and what does a drifting branch look like in a bonsai

In the Shengshi Xinyi Botanical Garden, the potted green plants and bonsai rockery are very good.

The formation of floating branches is best for natural tree stumps, and it is best to choose large branches with long and thick branches in the middle and lower middle of the naturally formed tree stem.

Secondly, the drifting branches cultivated in the later stage can select the branches with the best trend and growth from two-thirds of the stem and climb to form the fluttering branches. So it's nothing more than innate and acquired.

My portrait is a cliff-like mountain pine bonsai, and the branch that floats out like a dragon on its left side is a floating branch, which is 110 cm long.

Novices, hehe, I'm also a novice, let's learn together.

Discussion question: Is this bonsai good? Do we rookies also want to make such a bonsai by ourselves?

The answer is definitely no. We don't appreciate such bonsai very much, and we are embarrassed to take out such bonsai to participate in the national bonsai exhibition.

Why, because this trunk is thick enough. The thick trunk is not a disadvantage, the problem is that the branches are too thin, and the trunk is not very matched.

How is the pinch caused? It's just that the stake stocking time is not enough, and the new branches just grow to pursue the shape to be cut, as a result, the main branch is not cultivated, and it is not easy to thicken it in the future.

That's the problem to be solved today.

Or through the diagram; Let's say you have such a pile:

Just follow the same principle of casual modeling, sleepy modeling, and deliberate modeling.

To process tree bonsai with wire, it is necessary to master certain processing skills. The order of processing comes first.

The main trunk is followed by the branches, and the large branches are followed by the small branches, but sometimes it is not necessary to complete them one by one, but to wrap the main branches with wires first, and arrange the angles and positions of each branch to determine the overall structure.

After the large shape is determined, wrap each branch with a metal wire of appropriate thickness to treat each detail. Combined with pruning during processing, some unwanted branches are removed.

The shaping of bonsai large branches can use the plasticity of the wire to change the original shape of the processing object and create an ideal shape.

When processing trees with wire, you need to pay attention to: When winding the trunk, one end of the wire should be inserted diagonally into the potting soil close to the base of the trunk, and then inserted to the bottom as much as possible, and then wrap the trunk from the bottom to the top, and bend the shape after the winding is completed.

When winding each branch, the starting end must be fixed first, and one end of the wire must be bent into a hook first, hooked on the larger branch in front, and when winding the first circle, the end of the hook should be pressed, and the angle of winding is 45 degrees.

This reason is due to excess moisture in the roots. The solution is to use scissors to cut off the excess shoots and reduce the application of moisture to the roots. This will not be the case for a month or so.

The long branches are generally caused by 2 reasons. One is the lack of light; One is overfertilization. In the absence of light, the branches will grow tall, but the branches will be thin and thin, dull.

If the fertilizer is overapplied and the nutrients are excessive, the branches will also grow, and the branches and leaves will grow tall and numerous, and the overall shape will not look coordinated.

Knowing the reason, you can prescribe the right medicine: first of all, you should keep the bonsai in a place with suitable light, what kind of light is appropriate? Generally, it is okay to have scattered light in the room, as long as it is not dark; The other is that it should not be kept in a place where there is sun exposure, so as not to get sunburned.

Secondly, fertilization should also pay attention to moderation, can not be used too much at a time, or used too often, about 2 times a month fertilizer can be used, each time the amount is not too much, usually use a little commonly used compound fertilizer on the line, basically to ensure the balance of nutrients.

Bonsai grows long branches mostly due to excess nutrients and lack of ingredients, which will disappear only if the nutrients are properly replenished, and can also occur if the bark is damaged or invaded by germs.

The main reason is that it is not well managed, and it is also necessary to pay attention to mastering the method every time you prune, and you must bask in the sun at the right time.

This is the normal growth state of the plant, which is unavoidable, but it can be artificially modified in the later stage, and the extra corners and corners can be cut off with scissors.

In fact, you can choose to cut the branches next to it a little less, and then prune the middle, so that it will look better.

Cut it in half, leaving the leaves on the branch, and the shape is very good-looking. At the same time, pay attention to cover the cut area with a plastic bag to allow it to continue to sprout. It will look better when it grows this way!

First, cut off the unwanted branches in the middle, then apply the nutrient solution at the junction of the upper and lower ends, and hold them together with strips of cloth. This will not affect the look.

After more than a year of root raising, the pile head of bonsai will grow branches from the main trunk, these branches are called primary branches, and the branches produced on the primary branches are called secondary branches. If it is a newly cultivated pile-head bonsai, it can be regarded as a real life after growing secondary branches.

Branches and leaves growing in all directions on the same branch can be pruned, but if the branches and leaves grow from the roots, they cannot be pruned, because this can be the health of the bonsai.

The branches that can be cut off are cross-branches, parallel branches, whorling branches, symmetrical branches, clumping branches, and apical branches, which can be cut off. Some of the main branches that have been modeled cannot be pruned, and the leaves on them also need to be retained. In particular, new leaves should not be cut off, as it will affect the normal growth of the plant.

Can't be cut: Trunk. Everything else can be longer, and when the trunk is cut, it's gone.

What can be cut: stumps and leaves. Diseased branches and leaves. Affect the aesthetics of the foliage. I want to bulge out of the foliage.

It needs to be pruned to adapt to its growth situation, for the main trunk branches, can not be built, for the growth of some side branches can be pruned, because it will absorb the nutrients of the main branches.

When pruning bonsai, you must pay attention to the kind that grows in all directions, keep one, and cut the others. The opposite and long branches on the trunk should also be cut off one branch, and the other branch must be retained.

Plants like that have more side branches and don't look particularly aesthetically pleasing, can be pruned, while branches like that trunk can't be pruned.

First of all, there are long and messy branches and leaves, and then there are some dead leaves or leaves that are more seriously injured, but the main rhizome leaves on this plant should not be pruned.

First of all, some diseased branches and leaves should be pruned, and some wilted branches and leaves should be pruned, but it is best not to prune the branches and leaves that have grown flowers and fruits to avoid the loss of nutrients.

For example, stumps or dead leaves can be pruned off, but some of the better growing branches on the periphery of the bonsai do not need to be pruned.
