1. Pot soil preparation in pomegranate bonsai: The root system of potted pomegranate only moves in a small range in the pot, so it is required that the pot soil is rich in nutrition and has good water retention, drainage and ventilation performance. The preparation method is as follows: using 5 parts of urban road sweeping soil, 3 parts of fermented chicken and duck bird droppings, 2 parts of vermiculite or slag, adding a little plant ash, then mixing with meat washing, fish and shrimp water, drying in the sun and sieving to obtain the device.
Second, the production and modeling of pomegranate bonsai: pomegranate bonsai varieties in Zaozhuang generally include Dahongpao, Sanbai pomegranate and frozen pomegranate with rock sugar. In terms of material selection, it belongs to the category of stump bonsai, mostly wild stumps that have been transplanted for many years, and can also be cultivated with seedlings, mostly oblique or horizontal plants. Inclined trunk type: pomegranate trunk leans to one side, branches and leaves are naturally and orderly distributed, and the tree body is dynamic and poetic. Lying dry type: the main part of pomegranate trunk lies on the basin surface, which looks like lightning and the wind falls down. The shape of the tree is old and strange, which is very interesting.
Third, the modeling and maintenance of pomegranate bonsai: The modeling and pruning of pomegranate bonsai should first consider the modeling, and then consider the fruit setting rate of pomegranate. For spring shoots and autumn shoots, the required shape can be fixed by twisting, and the dense part of new lateral branches can be cut off from the base. Long branches can be shaped by multiple coring, and full lateral buds can be formed between leaf axils as soon as possible, so as to make a good nutritional reserve for new bearing mother branches in the coming year. Dense needle-like short branches can be cut off. Pomegranate bonsai's conservation management is different from ordinary tree bonsai. For example, it is not advisable to water more during flowering and fruit maturity, and try to control water, otherwise the flowering period will be short and the fruit will crack, which will affect the ornamental effect.
