The dragon style is the traditional style of Hui bonsai, that is, the main trunk is S-shaped from the base to the top, like a dragon, and the side branches are out of the convex bend of the trunk, and also make a certain bend, symmetrical left and right, up and down on the same plane, very interesting.

The main trunk of the plum blossom is required to be strong, and the main trunk is fixed with a heald rope during production, twisted to the right, and then the heald rope is pulled up and tied in a suitable position, the left bend is fixed, and then the main stem is twisted to the left to form a right bend. Pull the right bend fixed heald rope up to form an S shape, repeat the same method to complete the dragon body, and then prune the remaining branches accordingly for the dragon claws and tail. After years of styling training, it's OK.

Choose the jade butterfly dragon plum, because its branches are all naturally twisted, no artificial modeling, as long as a little pruning every year.

At the seedling stage of plum blossoms, twist its main stem from the rhizome into a circle, let the main stem grow upwards, and prune the branches slightly.

Select the main part of the big plum tree, split it in half, cultivate it with roots, polish it after wind, frost, rain and snow, the main trunk is woody and rotten, and the cortex on the back is branched, and then it can be potted.

The main trunk of the plum blossom is curved and oblique, and the twigs control it to pull the branches downwards and change the direction of its growth.

There are many shapes and styles of plum blossom bonsai, which are specific and divided into the following types.

When I was a child, I learned from "The Story of Sick Plum Blossoms" that the ancients worshipped plum blossoms, when "the song is beautiful, and the straight is without posture; Take the beauty as the beauty, and there is no scenery in the right way; Sparse is beautiful, and dense is stateless. The Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda wrote in the "Preface to the Plum Arrangement": "Plum wins with rhyme, and is high in grid, so it is important to horizontal, oblique, sparse, thin and strange old branches" Therefore, the shape of plum blossom bonsai should pay attention to stems, roots, and branches.

a), dry modeling.

Plum blossom bonsai piles are mostly purchased from the market. Now there are many professional growers for the market ** plum piles. Of course, most of these plum piles are large, but they are generally not very old.

It is manifested in the lack of a sense of vicissitudes. Of course, these can be artificially produced at a later stage of cultivation.

There are several styles of plum bonsai stems:

1.Qugan type: The main trunk of bonsai is irregularly bent, the bend is not too large and needs to be symmetrical, and the pursuit of nature is the purpose.

2.Oblique dry type: sparse shadow oblique side, oblique dry type of plum blossom. Tilted dry plum blossom bonsai is easy to make, as long as it is placed at an angle when planting.

3.Lying dry type: thin branches and jade leaves, plum blossom trunk close to the pot surface, head up, looking back, elegant and beautiful, beautiful posture.

4.Cliff type: Cliff type plum blossom bonsai, when cultivating small trees, press down the trunk and put it into the pot to make a cliff type. The cliff-like rock-core eggplant plum blossom bonsai has an elegant charm and is loved by ancient and modern people.

5.Weeping type: generally made of real plum plum blossoms. Its branches are naturally drooping and elegant. Weeping plum blossoms can be obtained by budding ordinary plum blossoms. Making a bonsai from plum branches can be supplemented with coiling, increasing its sag range and making it more elegant.

The drying of plum blossom bonsai can be achieved by cutting and warping the skin with a knife. Note: When carving or warping, it is not suitable to complete the entire trunk at once.

The side should be operated from top to bottom, keeping the trunk upwards of the water transmission line. The operation of the nanowire can be changed, such as spiral or winding. After the wound has scarred, do the same for the other side.

If you don't feel that the vicissitudes of life are enough, you can repeat the operation as many times as you like.

ii) Roots.

The root stump should be made of old stems hanging down from the roots and intertwining with each other. The dew root can show the quaintness and fragrance of the plum tree in various forms. The open-root potted plum mainly hangs its roots on the surface of the pot like an eagle's claw.

When a plum stake is placed on a pot, it can only be formed by tying its parallel roots into an inclined form and cultivating them.

iii) Branches.

The shape of plum blossom bonsai branches mainly relies on pruning. Plum pruning is mainly carried out after the flowers have withered. Pruning is mainly done by cutting short, thinning, shrinking, rubbing buds, and pinching hearts.
