In the production process, I choose camellia seedlings with tall and straight posture, plump posture, complete masculine tree shape, bending trunk branches and basically clear layers, mainly dealing with the trunk, then branching and topping, and finally exposing the roots. Trunk treatment is the key to determine the aesthetic feeling of the whole pile, and it is also the basis of camellia bonsai modeling. Such as: cliff-like, trunk-like, oblique trunk-like, horizontal trunk-like, water-like, curved trunk-like and other shapes, the beauty of these shapes comes from the trunk modeling of trees. In production, according to the trend of seedling materials, decisive pruning and shaping techniques are adopted for each pot of lush camellia seedlings. In the branching process, all those parallel branches, upward branches, horizontal branches and vertical branches are cut off except for each branch that needs to be set off on the trunk of various shapes, leaving only the main branch with setting-off effect. In pruning, the branches and leaves form clouds, which realizes the beauty of dynamic and static posture, and receives the artistic effect of seeking quietness in motion and living in quietness, especially at the top, which is the main part of expressing dynamics. Cloudy and flat branches are mainly static parts. The processing of trunk is the basic part of completing dynamic and static. Finally, in the process of branching, the tree shape must be uniform, the weight should be suppressed and the length should be reasonable. Adhere to the artistic means of highlighting the harmony and unity of density, reality, exposure, echo, rigidity, ingenuity and thickness in the overall layout of stump bonsai.
When making these camellia bonsai, I not only rely on the quality of wood itself, but also rely on "artistic conception" to win. These different forms of camellia bonsai, through people's ideas and ingenious artistic treatment of the trunk, top and exposed roots of natural camellia seedlings, show a feeling of stretching, unrestrained and chic.
Maintenance of Camellia bonsai
1, Camellia bonsai should be protected from direct sunlight after each leveling. Usually it must be kept in the shade for a few days.
2, indoor storage time is generally not more than one month. It should be put in when the buds are red or loose, and moved into the nursery when the number of flowers reaches 89%.
3. When planting, the surface of the pot soil should be covered with moss or grass to keep the soil moist. The most taboo basin soil exposed and produce salt frost.
4. Pay attention to insect prevention.
5. Fertilization should be fully decomposed and then lightly applied. Avoid thick fertilizer and quick-acting fertilizer to avoid rotten roots and scorched leaves.
6. After half a year, the lateral branches, branchlets and branchlets can be untwisted, and the brown silk can be untied, so as to avoid the formation of brown silk after the branches grow thick, and then the branches are broken and die. The main pay-off can be carried out after one year.
7, every summer and winter to fill the plastic surgery, and cut off the extra long branches, to ensure that the whole plant modeling effect is well preserved.
