Because Ganoderma lucidum is a treasure in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used as both medicine and food. People also regard it as a symbol of "good luck". According to its growth characteristics, fruiting bodies with different shapes can be produced by manual control, and with beautiful and elegant pots, it will become a Ganoderma lucidum bonsai with doubled value.
To make bonsai, we must first set a good theme and express the artistic conception around the theme. Through the control of the environmental conditions of Ganoderma lucidum, combined with artificial pruning, grafting and other shaping, with small accessories such as rocks, stumps, dead wood and plastic green grass. Place it in a brightly colored emerald green, lake blue and milky yellow porcelain plate or glaze basin.
Ganoderma lucidum in bonsai is usually cultivated in bottles or bags. After the fruiting body primordium appears, it can be treated according to different needs. If antlers with long handles are needed, they should be placed at a high place with poor ventilation and high CO2 concentration. Or put a plastic tube on the bottle to avoid light, and the long-handled antler-shaped ganoderma lucidum will grow. If you want to control the thickness of the stalk (branch), you can choose containers with different sizes of mouth and neck. There are many branches in large-mouth bottles, while many in small-mouth bottles are single branches. In order to cover the regenerated stalk to form a double-layer mushroom cover, a long paper tube can be put on the mushroom cover in the vigorous growth stage to let the light penetrate from the top. When placed in a poorly ventilated environment, the cap can grow a secondary stalk. Give good ventilation and remove the paper tube, and a new cap can be formed on the secondary stalk, which becomes a double-layer cap. In addition, mechanical stimulation can make several small mushroom caps on the edge of large mushroom caps, that is, the so-called mother-child caps. When the large mushroom cap has not stopped growing, the shell on the back edge of the mushroom cap is gently broken with a sterilized knife to form several small scars, and then the culture is continued, and the short stalk is pulled out from the scars, so that the small mushroom cap will be formed soon. According to the needs of modeling, the growing young fruiting bodies can be closely connected with each other to grow into a whole, and the stalks or lids can be manually renovated, pruned and grafted to make various shapes. The growth of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body has obvious phototropism. By controlling the direction and intensity of light and adjusting the light quality and intensity, the size of the cap, the length of the stalk and the color and luster of the skin of the fruiting body can be affected.
if small pieces of wood are used for cultivation, they can be put into pots together with small pieces of wood and filled with crushed stones, bryophytes, etc. Also, the modified Ganoderma lucidum is pasted on a special wooden seat with water glass glue to make it a handicraft.
