Bonsai production and maintenance of the latest Penglai

Manufacturing method

Select basin shape

The specific shape of the basin can be determined by the tree shape of Penglai pine, can be square, can be round, generally we choose a rectangular medium-shallow basin is appropriate. If the tree is cliff type, generally choose a deeper thousand-cylinder basin; curved dry type, generally choose a drum-shaped shallow round basin. Usually choose to cultivate Penglai loose pots with purple sand pottery can also be used glazed pottery.

Select tree shape

Penglai pine has a variety of tree shapes, including straight dry type, oblique dry type, curved dry type and cliff type, all of which have their own characteristics. For straight-dry Penglai pine, tall and straight vigorous, antique; and oblique dry hovering growth like a Wolong; cliff type is like a precipitous mountain with a dragon looking at the head, it is not spectacular.

Select soil

Penglai is suitable for more soil, choose deep, loose, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, but do not choose high salinity soil. It can also be mixed with sand and soil.

Post-processing

If Penglai pine is implanted into a shallow basin, you should pay attention to strengthening the branches, tie it to the root with iron wire, be careful not to damage the root, and then pass through the round hole at the bottom of the basin. The post-processing of Penglai pine is mainly based on climbing and binding, and metal wire is selected. Select some young saplings, about 2-3-year-old saplings, and bend the dry branches of the seedlings, trim the side branches, and climb them on the Penglai pine, showing a horizontal or downward state. After a year of growth, the wire is removed and adjusted, and then climbing again, it will be finalized in a few years.

Maintenance

Temperature

Penglai pine can grow at a temperature of more than 15 ℃, so it should not be too low in winter, otherwise it will stop growing, and the suitable temperature for growth is between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃.

Light

Penglai pine should be cultured in semi-shade, especially in summer to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it will cause the leaves to be scorched due to lack of water. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation.

Moisture content

In the vigorous growth period of Penglai pine, sufficient water should be given, but it can not lead to stagnant water in the basin, otherwise it will cause hypoxia and death in the roots. In slow-growing seasons such as winter, there is no need for frequent watering, just to keep the basin soil moist.

Fertilizer

Fertilization should form the law of fertilization from January to January, especially nitrogen and potassium fertilizer is the most suitable, which can promote the growth of Penglai pine.
