How to raise bonsai will not die.

Bonsai is a traditional ornamental work of art, which takes plants, rocks, soil, water and other materials as materials, through artistic creation and horticultural cultivation, so how can bonsai not die?

1. Basic introduction of bonsai

Bonsai, which originated in China, is composed of three elements: landscape, basin and several (shelves). There are generally two categories: tree stump bonsai and landscape bonsai.

1. Bonsai with tree stump

We often choose trees with small branches and leaves, potted plants that are easy to survive, slow growth, long life and peculiar roots and trunks. In addition to artificial reproduction, we often dig up the old trunk stumps from mountain and forest fields after years of firewood cutting. About 160 species of landscape trees have been used as stumps.

2. Landscape bonsai

Need to select the theme first, according to the theme of stone selection, processing, can also be made of stone, rock materials can be divided into two types: pine stone (soft stone) and hard stone (hard stone). At the same time, the use of near big and small, low high and small, near reality and far virtual perspective principle, with appropriate size of plants, pavilions, birds and animals, figures, etc., set off with a shallow basin.

Second, how can bonsai not die?

Choose bonsai varieties suitable for local climate and temperature breeding, such as too hot in summer, it is best not to breed bonsai types that are not resistant to high temperature. Then give reasonable light, watering and fertilization according to the growth habits of bonsai. We should also pay attention to pest control.

The following principles can be followed when watering:

1. Look at the size, size, depth and shallowness of the basin: generally speaking, there is less watering in the large basin, more watering in the small basin, less watering in the deep basin, and more watering in the shallow basin.

2. Look at the soil condition: less clay, more sand.

3. Look at the location: more watering in the sun, less watering in the shade, more watering in the high wind, less watering in the low wind, more watering in the dry wind, less watering when the air humidity is high.

Whether the bonsai should be watered or not, you can tap the pot body with your fingers, the sound should be watered, and the voice is low and unwatered. And the water temperature should be consistent with the local temperature, too high will scald the root, too low will frostbite the root.

The temperature difference in spring and autumn is small, the humidity is high, it is irrigated when it is dry, the high temperature evaporates quickly in summer, it is watered sooner or later, and the plants are dormant at noon in winter.
