Goldfinch is named after its golden flower like a bird spreading its wings, and it is also one of the "four masters" of bonsai, which is highly respected and loved by basin friends. Goldfinch likes light, has strong vitality and developed roots, and is one of the very good bonsai materials. Breeding goldfinch bonsai can be introduced from four aspects: soil selection, watering requirements, fertilization methods and pruning and shaping.

I. Soil selection

To cultivate goldfinch bonsai, it is necessary to choose sandy loam with medium fertility and good drainage. Goldfinch bonsai needs to be turned over every 2-3 years, and it is most suitable to turn over the pots in early spring.

Second, the watering requirements

Watering should master the principle of "if you don't do it, you must water it thoroughly". Plantagenet is afraid of water accumulation, so it is necessary to avoid root rot caused by pouring too much water at one time. During the flowering period of Plantagenet, attention should be paid to keeping the basin soil moist to prolong the flowering period.

Third, fertilization methods

Water and fertilizer should be applied once before flowering in spring to prolong flowering period; After flowering, topdressing should also be used to promote the growth of branches and leaves; In winter dormancy period, base fertilizer can be applied once. Fertilization should not be too much, too much will easily lead to leaf hypertrophy and affect the appreciation.

Fourth, trimming and shaping.

Prune long branches, weak branches and dead branches after flowering in spring to reduce nutrient consumption; In winter, it is necessary to prune too long branches to improve the ornamental quality of plants. Picking more hearts during the growth period is helpful to have more pregnant buds and flowers, while maintaining lobules and enhancing appearance.
