How to cultivate the stump material of bonsai?

Different stump materials have different cultivation methods, and if it is a normal material, it only needs to be watered regularly.

It is necessary to water in time, to ventilate in time, to control the light intensity, to fertilize in time, and to control the temperature.

First of all, when planting, we must choose the soil is relatively fertile and wide land, and in the process of fertilization, we must use farmhouse fertilizer, do not use the fertilizer bought outside, and often water the plants, to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, if there is a situation of small insects, then we must spray insecticides in time. If you can do these things well, you will definitely be able to cultivate them well.

Pruning The stump of an outdoor potted plant in the spring is carefully pruned before the end of germination. The method is: cut off overlapping branches, weak branches, dead branches, parallel branches, and long branches, and leave the branches to grow and tie them to achieve the purpose of perfect shape.

Prune again when the new shoots grow to 5 cm to 10 cm. Pine trees should not be cut with scissors, and the unwanted parts should be pinched off by hand before the buds are pulled out and opened.

Repotting The main situations that need to be repotted are as follows: impermeable, too many roots and disc-shaped, too much potting soil; The ratio of the landscape to the pot is out of balance.

When changing pots, the potting soil should be fertile, loose, permeable, and moderately pH. It is best to choose purple sand pots for pots.

Fertilizer and water fertilization requirements are small and the number of times is large, and organic fertilizer is mainly supplemented by inorganic fertilizer.

Watering requires keeping the potting soil moist and not too dry, because the stump is in the germination stage and cannot be saved once the scorched buds are burned.

In addition, more control should be given to aphids and other pests and diseases.

Water and fertilizer In summer, the main thing is to control the water in the pot.

In the rainy season, check whether there is stagnant water in the pot, if there is stagnant water and rotten roots, it should be depotted immediately, placed in a sheltered place from the rain, and then repotted after the potting soil is somewhat dry. It is best to water at night during the hot season, check again the next morning and rehydrate as needed, and avoid watering at noon when the temperature is high.

Small bonsai and shallow pots should be placed on a sand table, and shade-loving plants should not be exposed directly to the sun.

Avoid fertilizing at high temperatures to prevent injury to the stump.

Pest control Summer is the period of high incidence of pests and diseases, disease prevention, pests should be found in time to spray pesticides, the same pesticide is best not used continuously.

Stump bonsai - Sogou Encyclopedia.

The production method of pile scenery can be used to cultivate seedlings by sowing, cuttings, stripping, grafting, branching and other methods, and with the growth of plants, continuous pruning, hanging, pinching and other production. Due to the long time of cultivation and production of the above methods, some bonsai enthusiasts often go to the barren mountains to dig up old tree stumps, which are artificially processed and processed, and made into stump bonsai after careful maintenance.

When making miniature bonsai, you should master the four main links of material selection, modeling, potting, and setting.

1) Material selection. It is advisable to choose tree species with small leaves, thin branches, easy to live in pots, peculiar roots, gorgeous flowers and fruits, and easy to shape. Commonly used are five-needle pine, small-leaved podocarpus, June snow, fire thorn, golden bean, wolfberry, small pomegranate and so on.

2) Styling. The branches and leaves of miniature bonsai should be sparse but not dense. The original characteristics of the trunk should be followed and the finishing touch should be appropriately carried out.

Such as June snow, podocarpus, etc., the germination force is strong, and it is easy to twist, so it is advisable to make a curved dry type and a cliff type. The shape is often made of lead wire winding. First of all, according to the thickness of the branches, select the lead wire with the appropriate diameter, and then bend the branch into the required shape along the branch, and wrap the branch with the lead wire.

When winding, it must be close to the bark, pay attention to the appropriate density, and the direction of winding should form a 45° angle with the diameter of the branch. After 1 or 2 years, the tree posture is basically finalized, and then the lead wire can be removed. At the same time, unnecessary clutter should be cut short or removed.

Plastic surgery is generally better done in early spring.

3) Potting. The selected trees should be transplanted in the mud pot for preliminary processing and cultivation, and then transplanted from the mud tray to the purple sand pot or ceramic pot for planting during shaping. The planting location should be in 1 3 places in the pot.

The shape, size, and color of the pot should be coordinated with the tree. A long tubular basin should be used for the cliff type, a waist round or shallow rectangular basin should be used for the upright or oblique dry type, and a square basin should be used for the curved dry type.

4) The size and shape of several frames. It should be in harmony with the form and color of the bonsai. Commonly used are Bogu frame, combination frame, Shijing frame and so on.

5) Setting. The working surface of miniature bonsai is generally a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters, so the accessories should not be too much, and the main effort should be used on the cultivation and modeling of the stump.
