First, choose the pot.

Cedar should use purple sand pottery basin or glazed tile pottery basin. Large bonsai can be made of deep round pots or various chiseled stone pots, but the roots must be fixed with metal wires. Medium-sized bonsai should use begonia-shaped and manger-shaped pots, and seedlings can be planted in jungle-shaped shallow pots with stones such as alum or marble.

Second, use soil.

Cedar can be made of slightly acidic sandy loam with loose soil and good drainage. Potted plants are usually used with mature pastoral soil or humus mixed sand.

Third, planting

March-April in spring is appropriate, or after autumn. Cedar seedlings dug out of the ground should be brought with overnight soil to facilitate survival. Thin the dead roots, spread out the fibrous roots, cover them with fine soil, gently shake the pots, and compact them with bamboo sticks to make the pots and roots stick together. The trunk of planting position should be inclined to one side at 1B3.

Fourth, processing

The processing and modeling of cedar bonsai is mainly climbing, supplemented by pruning, which is suitable for climbing in winter and spring, and often climbs with brown silk. The trunk of cedar stands upright and the lateral branches are flat, so most of the lateral branches are bent into an S-shape, and the trunk generally does not bend, and naturally rises into a tree shape, which is extremely simple and beautiful. It is also advisable to have 5-7 seedlings born that year, scattered at different heights, planted in the jungle, with swaying branches and leaves and unique charm.
