2. Choice of pot: Red plum should use purple sand pottery pot or glazed pottery pot, generally not too shallow. Inclined dry type and curved dry type are used in deep manger pots or round pots, square pots and hexagonal pots. Cliff-style thousand pots. Attitude control technology
3. Processing: ① The new branches bound with plum blossoms are easy to grow naturally. In order to ensure the beautiful appearance of the tree, it needs to be tied with ropes in time to make it bend and shape according to people's wishes. The shape of plum blossom strives to be true and natural, such as bending upwards, generally not more than three bends. When pruning, it is best to combine pruning with binding, so as to make plum blossom form an ancient and vigorous graceful posture as soon as possible. (2) The shape of red plums is mostly "roughly tied and finely cut". When the trunk reaches 65,438+0 cm in diameter, it can climb, and the lateral branches can also be roughly tied, with brown silk or metal wire, and the rest are trimmed. For the newly born flower branches every year, according to the needs of modeling, brown silk can also be used for climbing and binding. The processing of trunk and big branches should be in winter, and the processing of new branches should be in autumn and September. Be careful not to hurt the bud. 4. Tree shape: For the shape of red plum, the ancients had many evaluation criteria. For example, "Mei wins with rhyme, with high lattice, oblique and thin, with strange old branches, more expensive". "Plums are four expensive: expensive and rare, not expensive and complicated; Your old age is not expensive; Your thinness is not expensive and fat; Is it expensive to drive? " "Mei takes pleasure as beauty, but straight is without posture; Take beauty as beauty, and the law has no scenery; Sparse is beautiful, and secret is stateless. " And the bonsai of red plum in China is modeled according to the above principles. Generally speaking, the trunk should be inclined and the branches and leaves should be sparse, but not just sparse. It should be sparse and dense, and the density should be appropriate and picturesque.
5. Pruning of plum blossom bonsai is very important. Plum blossoms form buds when new branches are born that year, so they should be pruned in time after flowering every year. After flowering every year, the old branches should be cut off, leaving only 3 ~ 4 buds, and pay attention to making the buds grow outward so that they can bloom in early spring of the following year. Pruning can also be combined with shaping. Cross branches, parallel branches, overlapping branches, long branches and weak branches that affect the beauty of the tree should be cut off. Combined with turning pots, we should cut off dead roots and shorten the roots of elders. And replace 1/2 old soil. Cultivate fertile soil to promote growth. Fourth, fertilization.
Pay attention to the season and growth period when fertilizing. When turning the pot, put bone meal and decomposed bean cake crumbs at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer, apply cake fertilizer water 1 ~ 2 times as topdressing before flower bud formation in the middle and late May, and then apply 1 ~ 2 times in the early August. After autumn, continue to fertilize for 2 ~ 3 times, and put it in the greenhouse in winter. Spring Festival can blossom early.
Five, the environment, light cold in winter.
Hongmei likes light, warm and humid climate and is cold-resistant. The soil is fertile and loose sandy loam, rich in humus, sticky, with poor drainage and easy to rot and die. Therefore, plums should be planted in sunny, dry and well-ventilated places. It should be placed in a sunny and ventilated place. & lt packaging
