First, create a suitable environment: Longbai generally likes a warm and humid environment, so everyone should choose a sunny place when planting, and at the same time spray water on Longbai regularly. In addition, good ventilation conditions are also very conducive to the growth of Longbai bonsai.
Second, choose the right soil to plant cypress. Longbai bonsai is suitable for dry, fertile and deep soil, and loose and fertile sandy culture soil rich in humus should be selected; You can use pine needle soil, peat soil, mountain mud and surface sand to make it.
Third, do a good job in water and fertilizer management: after the work of potted cypress is finished, everyone needs to do a good job in maintenance, in which water and fertilizer management is very important. Watering needs to follow the following principles: the basin soil is suitable for dry and wet, and the principle of avoiding drought and waterlogging; In addition, if the weather is dry, spray water on the crown in time; After entering the growth period, everyone needs to apply liquid fertilizer three or four times in order not to affect the growth of cypress trees.
Fourth, in order to avoid affecting the later ornamental value, everyone needs to do a good job of picking buds during the planting process. If the terminal buds of cypress branches grow faster, then everyone should remove them in time to make them grow in balance with the lateral buds, which is more conducive to future pruning and modeling.
Fifth, do a good job in the protection of pests and diseases: generally speaking, Longbai is prone to diseases and pests such as red spider, damping-off disease and dead branch disease, and everyone needs to pay more attention in daily life. Once such diseases and symptoms are found, the following methods can be taken:
1, 20% acaricide EC 3000 times solution, 1.8% acaricide EC 5000 times solution, or 15% triadimefon EC 3000 times solution can be sprayed alternately to control red spiders;
2. In the early stage of cataplexy, 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder can be used for 700-800 times;
3. To control the dead branch disease, 50% special bacteria wettable powder or 70% chlorothalonil wettable powder 1000 times solution can be sprayed.
The modeling method of Longbai bonsai is as follows:
Firstly, the bonsai of Longbai is preliminarily trimmed and shaped, so that the bonsai has a general artistic modeling image; Secondly, it is to consolidate the results of modeling and improve this modeling. In this process, you need to adjust some troubles and let them gradually become your own image.
Finally, the shaping work. After the first two steps, most of the plastic work has been completed. The next step is to cut off some branches that affect the appearance, so that a beautiful dragon and cypress bonsai will be successful.
Matters needing attention in the modeling process are as follows: Longbai should not be excessively pruned, and climbing is the main modeling process, and brown silk or metal wire can be used for climbing. Generally, it is more convenient to climb with wire, and you can twist, stretch and buckle freely. Emphasis should be placed on the climbing shape of trunks and branches. Don't climb too tightly to facilitate the growth of branches. Small branches can be trimmed and shaped properly. The whole posture should be carried out from March to April.
