How to make the bonsai of camellias? points for attention in bonsai production of camellia

Camellia is one of the famous flower varieties in China, which is widely distributed in our country at present. Its main value lies in its ornamental flowers. Now camellias are widely used in the manufacture of potted plants, but there are many skills and points to pay attention to if you want to make a good-looking pot of camellias.

How to make camellias bonsai look good

The main results are as follows: 1. When camellias make bonsai, the best time to put them into pot is in spring and autumn. At this time, the leaf buds of camellias begin to sprout, and transplanting them into the pot will not have much effect on them. The bonsai shape of camellias is generally overhanging rock type and rolling branch type. Hanging rock bonsai generally use bucket basins, rolling branches generally use more symmetrical square pots or round basins.

2. When banding camellias, you should first plant them obliquely in the pot, bend the trunk first, keep the side branches and leaves of camellias, and wait for the trunk to be formed. When bending the side branches, we should take vertical bending, oblique bending or irregular modeling according to the growth of the branches and their own design.

3. When banding, brown silk can be used to fix it. Note that the branches of camellias have a high degree of Lignification, and the branches that are bent need to be rubbed first and then bent to avoid breaking later. Then it is to tie the twigs and turn the leaves, which can make the leaves of camellias turn outward and get rid of some bad leaves.

What are the options for making camellia bonsai

1. Lingnan sent bonsai. Camellia is not very suitable for the modeling method of "storing branches and cutting dry", and the effect of camellias is poor, such as the stump of old tea trees can not be found, the trunk is thick and vigorous, the branches and leaves are natural and luxuriant, and the branches of camellias are sparse, unable to form the shape of Ye Maozhi, so it is not suitable to make Lingnan bonsai.

2. Yang sends bonsai. Yangpai bonsai is hierarchical, smooth and elegant, rigorous and spectacular. The use of "one inch three bends" method, tied into the size of the "cloud" shape. Camellia is not suitable to be made into Yangpai bonsai because of its poor compactness of branches, few leaves and poor plasticity of branches, so it is difficult to achieve the effect of bending and dense leaves.

3. Sichuan sends bonsai. Sichuan sent bonsai ancient clumsy and unrestrained, regular and vigorous, hanging roots and claws, intertwined roots, ancient clumsy and strange. Camellia has many old stumps, and its branches can also meet the requirements of Sichuan school bonsai, which is more suitable for making Sichuan school bonsai.

Matters needing attention in bonsai production of camellias

Camellia likes slightly acidic soil, so when choosing soil, be careful not to choose soil such as yellow mud with poor drainage, which can be humus soil or red sandy soil in hills. When selecting plants, we should choose sturdy plants with even branches and leaves, which should grow well and be free of diseases and insect pests.

How to maintain the bonsai of camellia

1. Light. Camellias need proper light, but they are afraid of being exposed to the hot sun. Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn period, you can move to a place where you can see more light to receive all-day light, and when the summer sun is strong, you can move to a place with light behind the sun for maintenance.

2. Temperature. Camellias like a warm environment, and the most suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity is 60%-65%.

3. Watering. It is watered once a day in spring and autumn, and in the morning and evening in summer, especially when it is very hot. If the ground is dry, you can also spray water on or around the flowerpot to maintain a certain amount of air humidity. But be careful not to water too much to cause stagnant water, so as to avoid root rot and suffocation.

4. Fertilization. Camellia is a fat-loving flower. Because there are many leaves and the flowering period is long, so the amount of fertilizer is still quite large. In the process of fertilization, fully apply liquid fertilizer, according to the size of the flowerpot, apply 380 grams of rotten cake powder or dried chicken and duck manure in each pot. Apply fertilizer once or twice a month except when it is the hottest and coldest in summer and winter.

When making potted camellias, you should choose an appropriate time, and then choose the appearance you like to make. After production, maintenance should be strengthened, especially in the aspects of fertilizer, water, light and temperature. only in this way can we ensure that the camellia pots grown beautifully.
