Sprouting in spring.
Bonsai of trees, in spring, many tillers will sprout in Longji and grow quickly. If it is not erased in time, it will destroy the tree shape when it grows up, causing the disadvantages of dense crown shape and indoor ventilation. Because it consumes too much nutrients, it will also affect the growth of branches with normal shape, and it will be airtight for a long time, and it will also cause pests and diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to erase the tillers in time, which will not only avoid the disadvantages mentioned above, but also reduce the workload of thinning branches in the later period.
In addition to the tillering buds at the dragon ridge, adventitious buds will germinate on the trunk and lateral branches, and the buds in these places also need to be removed. However, we can observe the whole tree carefully to see if these buds can fill some gaps that are not in place. If that's the case, when we wipe the buds, we can leave the buds that fill the gap here for cultivation. It seems simple and trivial to wipe the bud, and it can be done in minutes, but it is much better and more natural to make up the position like this than to borrow branches later.
Prune branches in summer.
Some bonsai trees with good growth and strong germination, although germinated in spring, will still sprout a lot of messy branches on the inside and other places. These branches not only grow fast, but also are very strong, so they must be pruned. The time should be chosen after summer and before plum rain, pruning internal branches, horizontal branches and over-dense branches. Pay attention to some long branches hidden in the canopy, which are generally not easy to find.
Although this can also be explained as the natural replacement of old and new plants, it is absolutely not allowed in bonsai creation. The first thing we need to ensure is the maintenance of molding branches, ensuring sufficient nutrients, good lighting and suitable ventilation environment. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off these useless branches. If the crown of the tree is dense and you can't see the branches clearly, don't cut them off easily. You should be patient, rummage slowly, find useless branches, and then cut them off.
Control strong branches
Good-looking bonsai works are harmonious first, that is, the proportion of roots, stems and branches is very symmetrical, which can reflect the charm and natural beauty of bonsai works. Johnson's branches are over-nourished and too thick because of neglect of observation. The proportion will be unbalanced, the branches will become bloated, the branches will be chaotic and ugly. A bonsai has lost its charm. In order to avoid these phenomena, we must observe more, especially in the vigorous growth period, and we must do a good job of fine pruning.
What should be done if a branch grows extremely vigorously and reaches the limit of proportion? You can cut short the main branches and side branches on the branch frame and trim them directly to the length required for modeling. Pay attention to leave leaves on the chopped branches, otherwise they will die due to lack of photosynthesis, especially in high temperature season. If there are no leaves in the parts that need to be cut short, they should be cut short in sections and forced to germinate. First cut a slightly longer branch with leaves, and then cut it short until it reaches the required length for modeling.
Photocontrolled growth balance
All plants have phototaxis, and plants in nature are the most obvious. The sunny side is always stronger than the dark side. I remember I also taught in primary school to use the phototaxis of plants to identify directions. On bonsai, although bonsai also has the best viewing surface, the other three sides can not be ignored. To achieve the best viewing effect, it is necessary to balance the growth of all aspects.
This requires us to constantly rotate the direction of the flowerpot in the daily maintenance process, so that all around the tree can receive sunlight, increase photosynthesis and improve growth speed. In particular, the weak side should receive more light, and the strong side should receive less light, so that the four sides of the tree can grow in balance and increase the ornamental value and aesthetic feeling of the work.
Control flowering and fruiting
Some bonsai enjoying flowers and fruits need to control their flowering and fruiting during maintenance. One is that when the trees have not reached the design requirements, it is necessary to inhibit the reproductive needs of plants and bud as soon as possible to avoid consuming a lot of nutrients, and there is no need for fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content to concentrate nutrients, so that trees can grow rapidly and meet the design requirements as soon as possible. In order to become a successful bonsai work.
The bonsai of flowers and fruits is ready to bear fruit, and can't be maintained at will. The number of flowers and fruits must be controlled well, so as not to damage the tree, which will bear fruit. An agricultural proverb says, "A tree is half full of flowers and half full of fruits." This is a fact. It is not a good thing to blossom all over the tree, and the fruit setting rate is very low. This is because bloom eats too much, resulting in a serious shortage of nutrients, leading to too many deformed flowers, and finally falling flowers and fruits, and the fruit setting rate is naturally low. Half-tree flower means that there are not many flowers, sufficient nutrition supply, few natural flowers and few fruits, high fruit setting rate and good quality.
These little things in maintenance, seemingly tedious, are actually very important and run through the whole maintenance process. If handled well, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. I'm Juanzi, a girl from the "greenhouse". This article is a bit brain-wracking.
