There are mainly one kind of bonsai, which can be branched or pruned. Lycium barbarum is a bonsai full of branches, which can be made into various shapes with disk branches, and the main branches can be made thicker by pruning. As long as you cut off the long branches and keep them flush, cutting off the long branches will help to spread the leaves.

Lycium barbarum likes cold climate and has strong cold tolerance. When the temperature is stable at about 7℃, seeds can germinate and seedlings can resist the low temperature of -3℃. When the temperature is above 6℃ in spring, spring buds begin to sprout. Lycium barbarum overwinters at -25℃ without freezing injury. Lycium barbarum has developed root system and strong drought resistance, and can still grow in arid desert. In order to obtain high yield in production, it is still necessary to ensure water supply, especially in the flower and fruit period.

The low-lying land with long-term water accumulation is unfavorable to the growth of Lycium barbarum, and even causes root rot or death. With sufficient light, the branches of Lycium barbarum grow healthily, with many flowers and fruits, large fruit grains, high yield and good quality. Lycium barbarum mostly grows in alkaline soil and sandy loam, which is most suitable for cultivation in deep and fertile loam.

Extended data:

Stump bonsai must be carefully maintained after molding. Among them, pruning is an important measure to promote or control the growth of stumps and keep them in a certain posture. All tree stumps with clear branches and leaves should be thinned or shortened frequently to control the branches that disturb the posture.

Pine trees can cut off all or part of the main buds to shorten the shoots. Pruning of broad-leaved trees varies with tree species and flowering and fruiting habits. Fertilization should not be too much, but it needs to be applied frequently to keep the plants flourishing, robust and not in vain. Flower and fruit stumps need more fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added.

The amount of watering varies according to the climate, tree species, phenology and the texture of the basin, in order to keep the soil moist. For conifers and azaleas in the mountains, water should be sprayed on the leaves frequently. Change pots every 1 ~ 5 years according to the size of bonsai. When changing pots, remove some old soil, cut off some old roots around and at the bottom, add new culture soil and replant. In addition, maintenance measures such as insect prevention, cold protection and shading should be taken.
