First, the basin:
1. You need to cultivate a true cypress or dig a true cypress before you go to the pot. If you cultivate yourself, you can get the real cypress plant you want by cutting, layering and grafting.
2, choose a flowerpot, when choosing a flowerpot, everyone needs to pay attention to the choice of flowerpots to reflect the beauty of white bonsai. It is generally recommended that you choose a purple sand pottery basin. As for the shape of the flowerpot, you can choose it according to your own preferences.
3. Pot soil configuration: True cypress has low requirements for pot soil, but after all, the flowerpot space is small. In order to make true cypress better adapt to this small environment, I suggest you choose fertile, deep and humus-rich soil. It is generally recommended that you choose fertile and loose neutral soil or calcareous soil. Such as humus mixed with charcoal shavings or mixed with sand.
4. Planting: Planting is generally carried out in March-April, and autumn is also acceptable. When planting, everyone needs to lay a few tiles on the bottom of the flowerpot to drain water; Then put the pot soil in, plant real cypress and make the soil firm and permeable once, and then put it in a cool place for maintenance. After it survives, put it in the sun and let it receive light.
Third, the overall posture: It is very important to make the bonsai look good.
1. During the whole posture, everyone mainly climbs, supplemented by pruning. In the process of climbing, everyone should pay attention to let the branches of the real cypress plant stretch and bend freely and the lines are smooth. If you want to make Cooper more ornamental, you can twist the branches.
2. If there are dead branches and dead branches in real cypress, they can be kept to produce quaint and peculiar effects. If not, you can set it manually:
(1) We select some branches (often unnecessary branches), cut off small branches and leaves, and peel off the bark from the base, either with a knife or with fingers; The tip of the branch must be cut into a naturally broken shape to avoid revealing artificial traces.
(2) Coat the peeled branches with lime-sulfur mixture to prevent decay. In the process of making this shape, everyone needs to choose a suitable position in order to adjust the density and increase the contrast. Generally, you can choose to make this shape between the top of the tree and the branches.
3. Choose a tree that you like to shape. There are many shapes of trees, such as curved trunk, cliff trunk, inclined trunk, lying trunk and so on. Different styles have different highlights, and everyone can choose according to their own preferences in the production process, but it should be noted that everyone needs patience in the modeling process.
