Cliff-style primrose bonsai can be used with a deep thousand-barrel basin, sometimes to highlight the beauty of the roots, but also to use a shallow basin. The color of the flowerpot should be those that set off the beauty of the primrose yellow floret, such as dark blue, light blue, or purplish red.

2. Bonsai modeling

Yingchun because the branches naturally droop, and the roots have characteristics, so it is very suitable to be processed into the hanging branch type and the root type, and often combine the two, the roots are exposed, while the trunk is made into a horizontal dry type or curved dry type, the twigs are brushed, with unique charm.

3. Pruning skills

Cut off the branches after digging up the primroses, because too many branches will die when the roots are damaged, the branches are too short and the buds are not easy to pull out, and 1/3 of the roots are exposed. After planting, do not expose the sun in the shade, be careful not to water too much, wait until after survival to look at the shape of primroses, and trim them properly. To control the growth of primrose branches, too long will affect the overall shape of the treatment.

Yingchun generally turns the basin every two years, and the time should be after the leaves fall in spring or autumn. When turning the basin, it can be combined with pruning the root system, cutting off the withered root and overlong root, in order to facilitate the development of fibrous root. Bean cake crumbs can also be placed at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. If you need to lift the root to welcome the spring, you can lift the root properly when planting, and cover the soil around the root. In the future, with the leaching of watering, the root will be naturally exposed.

5. Watering

Welcome spring like to be moist, especially in the hot summer, in addition to watering once every morning, it should also be properly watered in the afternoon. In order to maintain the humidity of the small environment, water should be sprayed to the ground frequently. Yingchun is afraid of stagnant water in the basin. During the rainy season, when it rains continuously, the basin should be put down or moved to a place free from rain. Low temperature in winter, less water evaporation, should be less watering.

6. Fertilization

During the spring growing period, 1 Murray should be applied twice a month to mature and thin liquid fertilizer. The period from July to August is the differentiation period of spring flower buds, and liquid fertilizer with more phosphorus should be applied to facilitate the formation of flower buds. Such as in the early stage of flowering, the application of a rotten thin organic liquid fertilizer can make the flower color bright and prolong the flowering period.
