What season is suitable for transplanting?
The transplanting season of Euonymus japonicus is better in spring and autumn. In spring, the weather gets warmer, the sap begins to germinate, and plants will germinate soon. At this time, the transplanted plants can resume growth more quickly. In autumn, the temperature turns cool, the water evaporation is slower than that in summer, and the survival rate of plant transplantation is higher than that in summer.
Choose a flowerpot
The flowerpot used for planting boxwood has good air permeability. Try not to use porcelain flowerpots and plastic flowerpots with poor air permeability, but use purple sand flowerpot with good air permeability and beautiful appearance. The shape and size of flowerpots depend on the size of trees and stumps. Commonly used flowerpots are round flowerpots, oval flowerpots and rectangular flowerpots.
planting soil
Buxus macrophylla is barren-tolerant and has low requirements for soil. However, in potted plants, in order to make plants grow more vigorously, it is necessary to prepare loose and breathable nutrient-containing culture soil. 3 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of humus soil and 2 parts of sandy soil can be used to prepare flower soil. If you are worried that it is not easy to survive, you can also use clean and moist river sand as the cultivation soil to raise piles first, so that plants can grow new roots faster.
Root treatment
Before planting Buxus buxus in the upper basin, some dead branches and leaves should be pruned first, and some too dense branches should be pruned appropriately. The incision at the root should be cut smoothly with a knife. If it grows too long and affects the roots of the upper pot species, it can be shortened.
After pruning, the roots will be disinfected with 0.2% potassium permanganate solution or soaked in regenerated root water, which will make the plants take root faster and improve the survival rate of planting.
Upper basin planting
Fill the prepared culture soil to half the depth of the flowerpot, then plant the plant in the soil, spread the root system, fill the surrounding soil according to its density, water it with root-fixing water, and maintain it in an environment without direct light. During this period, the watering can is often used to spray clean water on the branches and leaves of plants, so that the environment can maintain a high humidity, which is more conducive to plants serving pots.
maintenance management
After Buxus Buxus survives, it can be maintained in a large area. As long as there is enough water, fertilizer and light in the growing period, plants can thrive.
Water: Boxwood is a drought-resistant tree species. Keep the soil and environment moist when transplanting. After the plant is completely alive, it doesn't need to be watered too often, as long as it is done thoroughly. If the soil in the basin is higher than the surface of the basin, you can water it by soaking the basin.
Fertilization: Boxwood grows very slowly. If you want it to grow vigorously, you should fertilize it regularly, supplement nutrients during the vigorous growth period, or apply some decomposed base fertilizer to it when you are in the pot. In spring, when plants grow new branches and leaves, they can be watered with thin fertilizer every half month, or some decomposed organic fertilizer can be applied to the basin soil.
Lighting: Buxus buxus is very shade-tolerant, and can grow in an environment without sunshine, but it also likes sunshine. Only in sunny environment can its leaves be greener and brighter. If there is no light for a long time, the branches and leaves of plants will grow slender and grow in vain.
Modeling: If you want to make Euonymus japonicus into a more ornamental bonsai, you should trim the branches regularly according to the tree shape and tree potential, flatten or pull the branches that need modeling with aluminum wires, and gradually make the Euonymus japonicus bonsai with exquisite modeling.
Boxwood is a high-quality tree species for making bonsai, which not only has beautiful branches and leaves, strong ornamental value, but also has relatively simple maintenance. As long as you do the above, you can keep it flourishing.
