The breeze blows, whirling and dancing, graceful and endearing. Here, the respondent will answer the question’s question about some maintenance knowledge of Tamarix bonsai. I hope it will be helpful to the questioner!
Repotting: Tamarix grows quickly. Generally, bonsais are repotted once every 1 to 2 years, and old pile bonsais are repotted once every 2 to 3 years. The repotting time is carried out from February to March before tamarisk sprouts sprout every spring. When repotting, prune off dead roots and properly remove some overly dense roots. Removing too many fibrous roots at one time may cause branch death. Tamarix in the vigorous growth period should be replaced with a larger pot, while the original pot can be used for the old pile. Add new fertile culture soil to the pot.
Site: After planting or repotting the tamarisk, water it thoroughly and place it in a shaded place for 10 days. If the root damage is serious, put it in a semi-shaded place for about 5 days, and then place it in a sunny and well-ventilated place for maintenance. . When the summer is hot, it should be placed in a semi-shady place or a sunshade net should be installed in the maintenance area. In the Beijing area, in late autumn and early winter, potted tamarisks should be moved into a low-temperature room, or the pot should be buried in a leeward and sunny place, and the trunk should be cultivated with soil. It can also be overwintered outdoors. In the southern winter, place it in a leeward and sunny place, and you can overwinter outdoors.
Fertilization: Apply decomposed organic liquid fertilizer once a month to the tamarisk trees in ornamental pots. Excessive fertility can cause the branches to grow elongated, destroying the shape of the tree. Do not fertilize during the rainy season and winter.
Watering: Although Tamarix is ??drought tolerant, it prefers moist soil. The pot soil should be kept moist at ordinary times, but no water should accumulate in the pot. In hot summer, in addition to watering the pot, you should also sprinkle water on the ground. Water less in winter and keep the pot soil moist. Dry pot soil during the growing season often causes leaves to turn yellow and branches to wither, and in severe cases, the entire tamarisk tree will die.
Pruning: Tamarix has strong germination and fast growth. During the vigorous growth period in spring and summer, it needs to be pruned once a week to maintain the tree shape. Any new shoots sprouting on the trunk that are not needed for their shape should be removed in time to avoid consuming nutrients. In order to improve the ornamental value of Tamarix tamarisk, you can take advantage of its strong germination characteristics to remove all the leaves during the vigorous growth period, and then place them in a place with sufficient sunlight. Strengthen fertilizer and water management. Spray water on the branches once in the morning and once in the evening, 5 to 5 days. New shoots can germinate in 6 days, and the leaves will be as plump and green as ever in 20 days.
Pest and disease control: Tamarix has few pests and diseases, and aphids occasionally occur. It can be sprayed with 40% omethoate EC 1500 times. If the insect infestation is severe, spray it with omethoate once every 7 to 10 days.
