Method for making bonsai
As far as its shape is concerned, stumps are straight-stem, cliff-shaped, vertical-branched, co-planted, recumbent, orange-pointed and freestyle. Regardless of the length, thickness, straightness, youth, light and shade, and density, we must be free and easy. Before planting a stump, you must choose a flowerpot. The principle is that it can complement the stump.
Shallow pots can show the height of trees; The deep mouth basin can set off the old piles on the cliff; Ancient purple sand basin, suitable for holding pines and cypresses painted by the ancients; Elegant and elegant glaze basin can reflect gorgeous flower and fruit stumps. In a word, the pot for landscaping is also a part of appreciation. No matter the shape, line, color and size, it should be just right and full of artistic characteristics.
Old piles needed for pile landscape can generally be purchased in the flower market. If high quality piles are needed, they should be excavated in barren hills. Old piles should be excavated in winter, spring and rainy season, and the excavated old piles are easy to survive. Pay attention to protect the fibrous roots when digging, take more fibrous roots and cut off the main roots. Then trim the branches and leaves to make them into skeletons? Light? There are only a few twigs and leaflets left (pay attention to the mutual adaptation of piles and pots in this step).
When the stump survives in the pot, it must be sprayed with water on the branches and leaves frequently and shaded properly. At this time, for example, some buds on the stump are not suitable, so peel them off and don't feel bad. See more sunshine in summer and trim and shape in autumn. Stump modeling, due to the pursuit of different styles, different methods. Generally, there are branch scissors, brown wire binding and lead wire winding.
The winding method of lead wire is easy to learn and easy for beginners to master. When shaping, the branches are bent into the required shape, hemp pieces are placed in the winding position, and the shape is fixed with lead wires with appropriate thickness. Lead wire should be tightly wound on hemp chips and bark to avoid damaging the bark. The stakes and branches should be separated. Some piles and branches are hard, so they can be grooved at the lower end of the bend to make them bend naturally. After a year or two of this binding, the residual limb can be formed. In the future, fine pruning, pruning, leaf picking and bud picking will be carried out year by year, and skills such as root cutting and bag lifting can also be used to inhibit its growth and maintain a beautiful posture.
Finally, some rocks can be decorated under the stump to make up for the lack of stump modeling. You can choose axe stone, Taihu stone, stalactite, Yingde stone or ordinary beautiful stone. It is best to arrange stones in odd numbers to avoid disorder, and match them with stumps and pots, no matter how far or near, as you like. Fine soil can also be filled in the planted crevices and moss, making the whole stump bonsai lively and interesting. Although it is artificial, it is like nature.
Method of self-made miniature bonsai
(1) material. To make miniature bonsai, materials with small branches and leaves, easy to live in the pot, strange roots, gorgeous flowers and fruits and easy to shape are generally selected. Commonly used are Pinus pentaphylla, Podocarpus microphylla, Sabina vulgaris, Pinus thunbergii, Buxus macrophylla, Phyllostachys pubescens, Holly in the snow, Asparagus, Bromus, Alpine Ginseng and so on. The above tree species can be obtained by cutting, sowing and dividing plants. Rapid prototyping can also dig out the stumps of Lycium barbarum, Caragana, Golden Bean, Wisteria, Scolopendra and Pyracantha in Shan Ye and plant them in pots after artistic modeling.
(2) Modeling. Miniature bonsai should be made carefully. Want it? Intention pen first? The chest is in the shape of ancient wood. Before making, you should know the posture and habits of all kinds of trees like the back of your hand. The shape should be highly summarized, and according to the characteristics of the trunk, some finishing touches should be made appropriately to make it clear. Commonly used modeling methods include brown wire ligation, lead wire winding, branch folding, climbing and hanging, etc. The lead winding method is simple to form. Generally, tree shaping should be carried out in early spring. In gymnastics, according to the thickness of the branches, the branches should be wrapped with lead wire with appropriate diameter, and then the branches should be bent into the required shape. When winding with lead wire, it must be close to the bark with moderate density, and the winding direction should be 45? When the angle is appropriate, after 1 ~ 2 years, the trunk is basically formed and the lead wire can be removed. For those unnecessary messy branches, they should be truncated or removed.
(3) put it on the basin. Trees should be transplanted from pottery pots to purple sand pots or glaze pots during plastic surgery. The shape, size and color of the basin must match the tree. Under normal circumstances, deep bucket basin is suitable for cliff type; Oval or shallow rectangular pots should be planted directly or obliquely; The round basin can be equipped with low coiled plants; Gao Qian type should be planted in polygonal shallow basin. In addition, the basin frame should be coordinated with the shape and color of the flowerpot and integrated into a complete artistic structure. Did the ancients appreciate potted art? A tree, two flower pots and three flower stands? Famous words.
(4) maintenance. The maintenance of miniature bonsai especially needs to be thoughtful and meticulous. Pot soil should always be moist, dry and moist, or irrigated with pot immersion. Put it in a cool place in midsummer, and spray water on plants with a fine-hole watering can to keep a humid environment. During the growth period, thin fertilizer should be applied frequently, usually once every 10 day. Can fully decompose bean cake water, hoof water, etc. You can also apply full-element compound fertilizer, and the best fertilization method is pot leaching.

Choose more tree species with small branches and leaves, easy survival in potted plants, slow growth, long life and strange roots, especially those with gorgeous flowers and fruits. At present, there are about 160 kinds of garden trees used as stumps. In addition to artificial propagation, they are usually cultivated from old trunk stumps left after years of logging. Stump bonsai can be divided into straight stem, inclined stem, bent stem, lying stem, cliff, dead stem, rooting, attached stone, jungle and other forms. The best culture soil is loose, breathable, well drained and can keep fertilizer. Bonsai is made by pruning and binding branches with metal wires or brown wires.
The stem is bent into a certain shape, and then carefully trimmed and shaped year after year, with different local styles.
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 sun protection should be taken.
