It is sweet and refreshing to eat, which is really a good gift. Let's take a look at the production and maintenance of apple bonsai.

Variety selection

When selecting materials, apple bonsai should have the characteristics of dwarfing, thick roots, short branches, small leaves, large and colorful fruits, late maturity, early flowering and early fruiting, high fruit setting rate and self-pollination, strong disease resistance and strong ability to adapt to pot environment.

Selection of basin to match soil

Apple bonsai is made of tile pots, buckets and wooden boxes with a diameter of 40 cm, bottom diameter of 35 cm and height of 30 cm. The nutrient soil formula is 6 parts of fertile ripe soil, 2 parts of river sand, 1 part of rotten sheep dung, 1 part of retting leaves and horseshoe fermentative fertilizer, which are evenly mixed and screened according to proportion.

Put on the basin at the right time

The seedlings with strong plants, full bud eyes and no diseases and insect pests were selected to be planted in the pot in the first and middle of April. When planting, the roots were soaked and disinfected with 5-degree stone-sulfur mixture, and the necrotic roots were cut off. First, a small amount of nutritious soil was loaded into the bottom of the basin and put into the seedlings. The root system will be evenly distributed, buried firmly, and watered in time to ensure survival.

Fertilizer and water management

0.2% quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer was applied before and after apple bonsai sprouting, and liquid fertilizer was applied every 10 days from May, mainly 200 times liquid organic cake fertilizer, supplemented by 0.2% inorganic liquid fertilizer, such as urea, diammonium, ammonium sulfate and so on. Foliar fertilizer spraying is carried out during the fruit expansion period, which can be sprayed with 0.3% 0.5% urea and 3% plant ash leaching solution. The autumn shoot grows vigorously, and the fruit is close to the ripening period. 200 times organic liquid fertilizer is applied once every semimonthly. New shoots stop growing, fruit ripening period, according to plant growth, topdressing once every 10 days or so, mainly 200 times organic liquid fertilizer, combined with 0.2% inorganic nitrogen fertilizer. The soil should be dry and thoroughly irrigated, and water should be replenished in time during germination, flowering and fruit expansion. In order to promote flower bud differentiation in June, water should be properly controlled, and less water should be watered in the rainy season from July to August.
