1, seedling raising
When modeling Lycium barbarum bonsai, we can cultivate seedlings by sowing, cutting and layering, or dig seedlings directly from the wild. The excavation work can be carried out before and after the Spring Festival every year, or during the excavation. It is necessary to cut short long branches, cut off branches that are too messy, and dig them out with earth balls to avoid damaging the roots.
2. Select the soil and put it in the basin.
Lycium barbarum itself does not require much soil, as long as it can ensure good drainage, but it is suggested to choose sandy loam as the cultivation substrate and mix with appropriate humus soil or pastoral soil. Flower pots can be glazed pottery pots or purple sand pots, and they can be placed every spring. Compacting the soil around the root system when releasing the pot, transferring it to an environment with astigmatism and shelter from the wind after releasing the pot, and often spraying water to keep moisture.
3. Dressing and shaping
In the process of potted Lycium barbarum, if you want to keep the beautiful shape, you need to bundle and trim the branches. Big branches can be coiled in autumn and winter, and small branches can be coiled in summer. New branches can be coiled with wire at any time. Attention, because the branches of Lycium barbarum are fragile, don't move too much when operating. Generally, curved stem and cliff modeling methods can be used.
4. Daily maintenance
In the process of daily maintenance, Lycium barbarum bonsai needs to be watered frequently to promote the growth of branches. When new branches germinate in mid-April, they should be pruned in time, and the buds on each branch should be erased, leaving only the 1 bud at the top. When the new shoots grow to about 65,438+00 cm, they should be trimmed in time. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied again in late April.
