Second, the preparation of tools
Pot, soil, filter screen, stone, pruning shears, aluminum wire, small saw, wire cutters. The choice of pots is very important, and the color should be close to the branches, not too deep. There should be holes in the bottom of the basin to facilitate water seepage. This is beneficial to the growth of red maple. The soil should be made of mountain sand, burnt mud ash and loess according to a certain proportion, and then made into nutritious soil.
Third, the upstream basin
It is best to remove the excess soil from the roots before putting it in the basin, so that there is enough space. Cut off some extra roots. Then put the two trees together. Spread a layer of filter screen at the permeable hole at the bottom of the basin. Spread a layer of pebbles on the filter screen. The red maple tree is in the pot, so you must look ahead at this time. Put it away, then add soil to the basin, don't fill it up, so as to water it. When adding soil, compact it to prevent the trees from moving.
Fourth, pruning
Trunk branches that are pruned too high, dense branches in tree cavities and weak branches, and branches that grow too low on the trunk will be pruned after modeling is completed.
V: modeling
When modeling, the branches are first wrapped around the trunk with aluminum wires, and then bent in the required direction. If you feel that the extension angle of branches can't reach the ideal effect of modeling, you can use aluminum wire to pull it properly. Note that each main branch should be pulled to the correct position with aluminum wire and aluminum wire.
1, planting can use common culture soil, water it and put it in the shade. Often spray water on the branches. You can increase the light when you start to spread the leaves. Apply light (nitrogen) fertilizer water once after all leaves are unfolded. Put it in a semi-shady place with even sunshine for normal management.
2. Pay attention to ventilation in summer and autumn. Potted plants should be moved to semi-shade around noon, and attention should be paid to ventilation. Exposed to the hot sun, the leaves will be scorched, curled and shed. At the same time pay attention to watering to prevent the soil from being too dry.
3. If you want to control leaf viewing manually, you can do it once between spring and summer and once between summer and autumn. Too much work will hurt trees. All leaves can be picked once in June and September, and bright red new leaves can grow after 10. Pay attention to two points: one is pruning after picking leaves; The second is topdressing one week before leaf picking. The key to success is to artificially control new leaves and strengthen fertilizer and water.
4. If the leaves are burnt in the scorching sun, all the burnt leaves can be removed in August, placed in a cool and semi-cool place, and lightly applied with compound solution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, about twice a week. In this way, in autumn, bright red new leaves can grow.
5. After defoliation in winter, you can enter the dormant period, and you can apply a thin layer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium base fertilizer and carry out plastic pruning to make the branches and leaves redder in early spring of the following year. In case of extremely cold weather, bonsai should be placed in a warm place sheltered from the wind and the sun or in a sunny place indoors to avoid freezing.
