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.
The shape should be "intentional" and the shape of ancient wood should be prepared in the chest. The modeling should be highly summarized, and the commonly used methods include brown silk ligation, lead winding, branch folding, climbing and hanging. Among them, lead winding is more convenient. Generally, tree shaping should be done in the morning.
According to the thickness of the branch, lead wire with appropriate diameter is selected to wind the branch, and then the branch is 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 degrees with the diameter of the branch. 1 ~ 2 years later, the trunk is basically formed before the lead wire can be removed. For those unnecessary messy branches, they should be truncated or removed.
Trees should be transplanted from pottery pots to purple sand pots or glaze pots when they are formed. The shape, size and luster of the basin must match the tree.
In general, the wonderful tube 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 in harmony with the shape and color of the flowerpot, and be integrated into a complete artistic structure. There is a famous saying in the ancients that "one tree, two pots and three flower stands" appreciate potted art.
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.
Thin fertilizer should be applied frequently during the growth period, usually once every ten days or so. 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.
