There are many schools of bonsai, each with its own style and characteristics. But we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and we must not copy them mechanically. Banyan is actually an easy-to-cultivate tree species, which can shape various forms of bonsai. You said ginseng fruit. Its roots are easy to swell, generally exposed, while the upper stems should not be tall and straight, but elegant. Of course, according to material conditions and personal hobbies, various forms of bonsai can be cultivated.
How to maintain banyan bonsai?
1. Tree making
Banyan bonsai in modeling, the main energy should be put on lifting the roots, forming a hanging root and exposing the claws. Of course, branches, stems and leaves cannot be ignored, because they are an inseparable whole of a tree. Branches and leaves often adopt distinctive natural styles. The branches of banyan trees are softer and take longer to bind than ordinary trees. Generally, it takes about two years to dismantle the tie.
Because the branches of banyan trees are softer than other trees, they are easy to be shaped in a flat way, so it is generally difficult to see straight banyan bonsai. Banyan leaves have big roots. I have never seen banyan trees as jungle bonsai. Some bonsai lovers often make use of the soft branches, thick and long roots and strong adaptability of banyan trees to make bent-stem, inclined-stem, cliff-shaped, tree-stone-shaped and root-lifting bonsai.
The leaves of banyan trees are generally large and not beautiful enough, so the growth should be controlled. In addition to spraying less water on the leaves, you can also pick the leaves and make them smaller. In March in the south and April in the north, the tops of branches are cut off, and then leaves are cut off from petioles to strengthen fertilizer and water management. Generally, new leaves will be born in about 25 days. The second leaf picking will take place in July. Leaves can be picked twice a year in the north, and the third time in September in the south because of the high temperature. After picking leaves several times, banyan trees become dense branches and small leaves.
2. Planting and using flowerpots
Ficus microcarpa has strong adaptability and can grow in acidic, neutral and slightly alkaline soil, but it is best to plant it in slightly acidic, loose, well-drained and fertile soil. Sowing is usually carried out in March-April before germination.
Banyan bonsai mostly uses purple sand pots and glazed pottery pots. The depth and style of the basin depend on the shape. You can use the cliff multi-purpose signature basin. For example, bonsai can be placed on a high shelf, and ordinary square or round pots can also be used. Rectangular or oval pots with medium depth are commonly used in curved stem type, inclined stem type, root lifting type and tree stone type.
Maintain in the shade shed. In late autumn and early winter, when the lowest temperature drops to 6-7℃ at night, it should be moved indoors to the sunny place for wintering, and the room temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃. Brown bamboo likes warm, humid, ventilated and well-lit environment, such as sun exposure, drying in pots, etc., which often causes branches and leaves to wither and grow poorly, and in severe cases will die.
(2) water. Besides keeping the basin moist, you should always sprinkle water on the ground. When the weather is hot, water it in the morning and evening, and spray water on the leaves. After moving indoors in winter, there is less water, and watering in winter should be carried out at the highest temperature around noon.
(3) fertilization. In the growing season of brown bamboo, it is necessary to apply 1-2 decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer with nitrogen fertilizer as the main component every month, and apply "alum fertilizer water" several times at intervals. Only in this way can its branches and leaves be lush and green.
(4) plastic surgery. The shape of brown bamboo bonsai is relatively simple. First, cut off dead branches and diseased branches. If the branches and leaves are too dense, cut off some leaves and 1-2 branches to maintain the beautiful shape of bonsai.
(5) pest control. If brown bamboo is placed in a stuffy and unventilated place, it is easy to suffer from scale insect disease, so it should be prevented in time.

Excuse me, how should I trim my banyan bonsai?
This picture is too small to see clearly. It should be ginseng banyan!
First of all, the highlight of the ginseng banyan tree is the part like ginseng.
Then turn the bonsai and observe and choose the best viewing surface, that is, which angle do you think is the best.
Down is to determine the trunk, according to the situation is generally single-dry, but also double-dry, according to the situation to choose to stay. Then cut off the branches that are too dense, which will appear layered, like a tower, but be careful not to be too stiff and natural. Generally, the branches at the bottom are longer than those at the top, that is, the branches and leaves of bonsai are green, forming an equilateral triangle.
I said cutting above. If you still want to make it beautiful, you can also use the method of binding. Now, aluminum wire or copper wire is also acceptable. Tie the branches round and round with aluminum wire. It is best to bend the branches at an angle of about 45 degrees. Bonsai is said to be a boutique because its branches are not straight. However, it is difficult to bind branches. Be careful not to break the branch, it will be sad!
Of course, bonsai can't be made overnight. If you want to shape it, it will take two or three years, but it will be a lifetime. Actually, I hope I have a good time.

How does banyan make bonsai?
The banyan tree has strong germination ability, and its shape is mainly trimmed, supplemented by Pinza. When the trunk of seedlings grows to a certain height and thickness, the terminal buds should be picked and the height should be controlled to make the trunk dwarf and thicken. After reaching the dwarfing standard, 3-5 lateral branches can be retained, and coring and bud picking treatment can be repeated. The trunk of banyan tree should be modeled by Pinza's method, and branches and pests that hinder beauty should be cut off at any time to achieve ideal modeling. Source: China banyan bonsai Network
Ask for advice: how to prune banyan trees in bonsai?
The pruning methods of bonsai banyan trees can refer to the following points:
Pruning methods of banyan trees include coring, bud stripping, leaf picking, short cutting, branch shrinking and thinning.
First, choose the heart.
1, in the growth and development period of trees, removing the tender branches at the top of new branches is called coring.
2. Remove about 2/3 of the bud core before the new bud germinates, but only leave a small piece at the base. Two lateral buds will grow here in the future, and new branches will grow in both directions.
3. When the new branches and leaves sprout again, pick the heart in the same way. This repeated operation can achieve the purpose of making the crown full.
Second, sparse buds
1. In order to ensure the centralized supply of water and nutrients, it is necessary to keep good buds and remove unnecessary buds to form an ideal tree shape.
Third, picking leaves.
1, leaf picking can promote the germination of new leaves.
2. By picking leaves, the leaves that have grown very big can become smaller and more delicate.
It is best to pick leaves from the vigorous stump.
4. Before picking leaves, potted trees should be applied with nitrogen fertilizer for 2-3 times, and placed in a sunny place, so that they can fully carry out photosynthesis, accumulate nutrients and improve their ability to sprout new leaves.
5. When picking leaves, keep the petiole and protect the axillary buds. Generally 1 month can grow new leaves.
6, picking leaves should be divided into 3-4 rows, picking all leaves at a time 1/4- 1/3, and the interval between two adjacent times is about 1 week.
7. Transpiration is weakened after leaf picking, so watering should be controlled to avoid excessive soil moisture and root rot. Generally, it takes about 20 days to pick leaves to grow new leaves.
Fourth, shortcuts.
1, the short section generally cuts off the top of the branch 1/5, removes the growth advantage of the top of the branch, forms more short and medium branches, and makes the tree fuller and the mother branch thicker.
2. Medium and short cutting generally refers to cutting off 1/2-3/5 at the top of branches to form more medium and long branches, which may promote the growth of branches. Re-cutting refers to retaining 1/5 of the branches, which can promote the growth of the cut 1-2 vigorous branches and is generally used to cultivate the main branches.
Fifth, thinning branches
1. Cut off the annual or perennial branches that affect the shape of bonsai from the base.
2. Thinning branches can weaken the whole pile, and thinning unnecessary branches can ensure that the remaining branches can get sufficient nutrients and water supply, improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, and be beneficial to the growth of the pile.
