The materials for making small bonsai of Chimonanthus praecox are generally selected from autumn of Chimonanthus praecox to early spring of the following year. First of all, we should choose Chimonanthus praecox with high affinity between rootstock and scion, good wound healing and indistinguishability between scion and rootstock. Secondly, we should choose Chimonanthus praecox with low grafting position, good stump shape, low scion bud point, developed root system and developed soil ball. It takes a long time to make the old pile landscape with good ornamental effect, and the old pile is not easy to obtain and the price is higher. In addition, the author does not advocate digging old piles in the mountains, which not only destroys the natural environment, but also has a low survival rate or fails to achieve ideal results.

Dry sesame oil residue can be directly placed around the basin for fertilization.

Fermented sesame oil residue, fish viscera, etc. Dilute with water and use.

Maintenance/curing

The selected material of Chimonanthus praecox should keep the root soil ball in the first year, and the root should not be trimmed (because the growth environment of Chimonanthus praecox changes, which is beneficial to the survival of Chimonanthus praecox). It is best to plant it in the ground (where the ground is higher) or in a big pot, and the branches can be re-cut, as long as two bud points are reserved upward where germination is required. In the process of maintenance, watering and fertilization should not be too much, and pruning should not be carried out to keep the stocking state. Prune Chimonanthus praecox appropriately in the second year, and continue stocking, which is not suitable for transplanting. In the third year, the roots of Chimonanthus praecox were treated to shorten the roots, and a large number of branches were pruned to remove unnecessary branches, and then they were planted or maintained in large pots. In the fourth year, the ground planted with Chimonanthus praecox was moved to a larger earthen basin for maintenance.

Dry sesame oil residue can be directly placed around the pot for fertilization, and a little fertilizer will enter the soil every time it is watered, and the fertilizer is applied very thinly. Or store the fermented sesame oil residue and fish offal as fertilizer, dig out some fertilizer when necessary, dilute it with water and pour it into the wintersweet basin.

systems modelling

Chimonanthus praecox can be imitated on the new branches in the fourth or fifth year. When the new branches are 4 ~ 5 cm long, they can be molded, and 1.5 mm square single-core copper wire is used to tie the branches. Pay attention to keep the soil dry and shape it when the weather is good. Pay attention to the observation during modeling, loosen it in time to prevent the branches from growing and breaking. Prune the branches of flowering Chimonanthus praecox in winter, rebuild them, and prune them properly in peacetime to remove long branches.
