Stump bonsai is dominated by flowers and trees. The quality of the stump does not depend on whether the selected tree species are expensive or not, nor on the size of the materials used, but on whether its natural form is possible and on the artistic conception and interest contained in the creator's modeling. Stump bonsai is the epitome of old piles in Shan Ye, so it is natural to learn from them. Cypress cypress, branches scattered all over the sky, like Youlong, trunk twisted; Jinsong with big branches, upside-down cliffs, and clouds of branches and leaves; The branches of Tianzhu are soft and beautiful, the flowers and fruits are gorgeous, and the style is elegant and elegant, which is an excellent example of making pile scenery.

To make a beautiful pile landscape, the key is to choose a good stump. The most ideal stump is a plant with plump appearance, green branches and leaves and no dehydration of fibrous roots.

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 the branches and leaves are strongly pruned, so that the skeleton is "lightly loaded", leaving only a few twigs and leaflets (this step needs to pay attention to the mutual adaptation of piles and pots).

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.
