1, choose a flowerpot.
Generally speaking, it is advisable to use medium-dark purple sand pottery pots or glazed tile pottery pots, and determine the shape of flower pots according to the bonsai shape of winter jasmine. Cliff-style winter jasmine bonsai can use deep thousand-tube pots, and sometimes shallow pots can be used to highlight the beauty of the roots. The color of the flowerpot should be a color that can set off the beauty of the yellow flowers of the winter jasmine, such as dark blue, light blue or purplish red.
2, bonsai modeling
Because the branches of Yingchun naturally droop and the roots have characteristics, it is very suitable for processing into vertical branches and root-lifting types, and often combined to expose the roots, while the trunk is made into horizontal or curved branches, and the branches droop, which has a unique charm.
3. Pruning skills
Cut off the branches after digging the winter jasmine, because too many branches will die when the roots are damaged, and the branches are too short to be pulled out, exposing one third of the roots for planting. After planting, put it in the shade and don't expose it to the sun. Be careful not to water them too much. Wait until they survive, look at the shape of the winter jasmine, and then trim it properly. Control the growth of branches of winter jasmine, too long will affect the overall shape.
4, rotating basin requirements
Generally, the pot is turned once every two years during the Spring Festival, and the time should be after the leaves fall in spring or autumn. When turning the pot, it can be combined with pruning the root system, cutting off dead roots and long roots, which is beneficial to the development of fibrous roots. Bean cake crumbs can also be placed at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. When the roots need to be raised during the Spring Festival, they can be properly raised when planting, and the roots will be covered with soil. In the future, with the leaching of water, the roots will naturally be exposed.
Conservation and management of winter jasmine
1. Watering: It is humid in spring, especially in hot summer. Besides watering once every morning, water properly in the afternoon. In order to keep the environmental humidity low, water should be sprayed on the ground frequently. Yingchun is afraid of water in the basin. In rainy season, when it rains continuously, the basin should be put down or moved to a place without rain. In winter, the temperature is low, water evaporation is less, and water is less.
2. Fertilization: During the spring growth period, the decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times a month. July-August is the stage of flower bud differentiation in spring, so liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus should be applied to facilitate the formation of flower buds. For example, in the early flowering stage, applying a decomposed and thin organic liquid fertilizer can make the color gorgeous and prolong the flowering period.
3. Pruning: Jasminum nudiflorum has strong germination ability. During the growing period, you should always pick your heart, cut off or shorten some branches to keep the tree shape. After the flowers wither, the branches should be cut short, generally leaving only 2-3 buds, and the main branches can leave more buds appropriately. After the new branches are born, if they are properly maintained, the buds will be clustered.
4. Lighting:
You can bask in the sun properly in spring and autumn. In summer, when the sunshine is strong and the temperature is high, moving the winter jasmine to the semi-shade is beneficial to the growth of the winter jasmine.
