What kind of soil does the latest bauhinia bonsai use?

There are many conditions to be satisfied for a good bonsai. In addition to doing a good job in maintenance and management such as daily lighting, water and fertilizer, pruning, shaping and turning pots, we also have to do a good job in the basic work. That is, the use of soil must be scientific and reasonable, suitable for the growth of bonsai trees. Although different bonsai tree species have different requirements for basin soil, they often need to meet the most basic soil conditions. generally, basin soil fertilizer is required to be loose, breathable and permeable, and even to have a certain effect of water and fertilizer conservation. It can be seen that the preparation of basin soil is very important for the growth of bonsai trees.

The bauhinia tree has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, the germination ability is also strong, and the requirement of bonsai soil is not high. It can meet the basic texture of soft, air and water permeability. And it is easier to survive after transplanting, but in order to improve the survival effect, it is usually recommended that people retain the persistent soil at the root of bauhinia in the process of transplanting. Since Bauhinia is not strict about potted soil, what in the end?

In view of the basic requirements that the basin soil should maintain good looseness and permeability, we can generally use sandy loam soil. of course, we can add an appropriate amount of humus to the soil to increase the nutrients in the basin soil, which is also beneficial to the growth of Vitex negundo. Because although Bauhinia is a kind of drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant and barren-tolerant tree species, it also likes the fertile soil environment, so it is necessary to add some nutrients to the basin soil. In terms of using the basin, the general bowl basin should choose mud tile basin or soil basin planting is better.

However, as a downhill pile transplanting, whether it is planting piles or transplanting on the pot for bonsai production, in addition to retaining the persistent soil at the root of the pile landscape, the new soil added when using the soil is generally inseparable from sandy soil. A more scientific soil allocation scheme is to use the mixture of garden soil, river sandy soil and humus soil. at the same time, in order to increase the amount of nutrients in the soil, we can also mix an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer in the mixed soil. Using this as a culture soil can often better promote the growth of Vitex negundo.

And it should be noted that in the process of daily maintenance and management of bonsai, with the continuous growth of bauhinia trees, the replacement of new and old branches and leaves, the nutrients in the basin will be less and less, coupled with frequent watering and fertilization, the basin soil will become more and more hardened. Therefore, the potted soil used for bonsai needs to be changed regularly, which can not only increase nutrients in the basin, but also improve the looseness of soil, which is very important for root respiration, ventilation, watering and fertilization of Bauhinia negundo. This often has an important impact on the growth of bonsai.
