How to make the latest hibiscus bonsai

The method of making bonsai with hibiscus flower

First, the hibiscus seedlings were planted in a large mud basin or maintained in the ground, and its growth rate was very fast. The seedlings of striping and ramets were planted in the same year, and the seeded seedlings could be banded and bent in the second year. At the same time, pay attention to the head and heart, control the height of the plant, and promote the thickening of the branches.

In addition, you can also choose the old piles of hibiscus trees that have grown for many years, short plants and strange shapes to make bonsai. You can transplant in spring, first "raise the billet" in the ground or in a larger tile basin to ensure its survival, wait for the branches and buds to begin to grow, and make sure that the plant has survived before modeling.

Because the young trees and the big branches on the trunk generally grow straight, there are few branches, so they can grow freely and truncate when the thickness of the branches meet the requirements to promote lateral branches. During the period of "raising billet", we should give it sufficient sunshine, apply thin fertilizer frequently to promote its growth, and remove the useless buds in time, so as not to let it grow into branches and consume too much nutrients and affect the growth of other branches.

Modeling and pruning of hibiscus bonsai

Hibiscus can make many different forms of bonsai, such as direct dry type, double dry type, facing water type, oblique dry type, curved dry type, exposed root type, stone-attached type and so on.

Hibiscus tree is not suitable for too much pruning, but the branches are longer, so it is necessary to carefully tie them and leave more branches when they are made. When they grow up, they will cut off the excess branches and cut short the overlong branches to form a plump and compact crown. The banding of hibiscus bonsai can be carried out at any time, usually in combination with pruning after flowering.

The hibiscus tree has smooth branches. When making bonsai, it should appear with its natural appearance, highlight the characteristics of the tree species, and at the same time show its graceful and sturdy appearance, without the need for deliberate pursuit.

The "simplicity" carves the tree trunk riddled with holes.
