The latest maple bonsai farming methods

Maple is a famous scenic tree, tree-shaped whirling, beautiful and moving, is an excellent material for making bonsai, making maple bonsai in addition to processing methods, what is more important is the choice of tree shape and the original natural form, and it takes a certain amount of time to shape, each pot of maple bonsai should have its own characteristics, let's take a look at the maple bonsai culture method!

Maple bonsai tree shape making

There are many wild maple trees, and many bonsai trees are made in the mountains to dig old stakes or young trees. the new branches are long and soft, which can be tied into a variety of bonsai styles, such as straight dry type, oblique dry type, curved dry type, double dry type, water-facing type and jungle type, with pruning as the main shape, flat binding as a supplement, and large leaves, which are not suitable to be made into clouds or clouds, but the branches and leaves are often trimmed into a natural style with coordinated height and density, and the maple leaves turn red after frost. It is dazzling and lovable.

Maple bonsai planting pot

1. Planting: Maple trees should be planted from February to March before sprouting in spring. Before planting, the branches and roots should be trimmed once, at the same time, half of the old soil should be removed, the new soil should be replaced, and the rotten bean cake should be applied at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. Maple trees like loose, fertile and moist soil, and grow poorly in barren land. Maple trees can be planted with a mixture of humic soil of 2 and 3 and sandy soil of 1 of 3.

2. Pots: the leaves of most maples change from green to red after frost in late autumn, so be careful not to use red and green purple sand pots or glazed pottery pots. The jungle type maple bonsai can use white marble or marble shallow basin to process the basin soil into a rugged natural mountain shape. If a few pieces of tortoise stone or Yingde stone are placed in the appropriate part of the basin, dotted with a few characters or animals, it will make the life flavor of the bonsai thicker.

Maintenance and management of maple bonsai

1, the site: Maple trees like shady and cool environment, avoid strong direct sunlight, so bonsai should be placed under the shade or other trees for maintenance, such as placed in strong light or balcony, often appear scorched leaf phenomenon. Due to poor indoor ventilation, maple bonsai should not be placed indoors for more than a week, otherwise it is disadvantageous to growth. In winter in the north, the maple bonsai should be moved into the low-temperature room, and in the south, as long as the pot is buried in the leeward soil, it can survive the winter safely.

2. Watering: Maple leaves are large and water evaporates quickly. In the growing season, water should be often watered. When the weather is hot, water should often be sprinkled to the ground to keep the microclimate moist. The winter maple enters the dormant period, should water less, as long as the basin soil is wet, it can not be watered.

3. Fertilization: before sprouting and spreading leaves of maple in spring, the organic liquid fertilizer should be applied once, but not in rainy days, from August to September, and not in winter dormancy period.

4. Plastic surgery: Maple trees have strong germinating power and often grow new buds on the trunk. Buds and over-dense branches that are not needed in modeling should be cut off in time, which can not only save nutrition, but also facilitate ventilation and light penetration. The best viewing period for maple trees is when the new leaves are just unfolded. If all the leaves are removed at the end of summer and a dilute liquid fertilizer is applied, new leaves can grow in about 20 days, which adds another best viewing period.

5. Disease prevention: the common diseases of maple are brown spot and powdery mildew. When the disease occurs, 50% carbendazim wettable powder 800-1000 times is sprayed, once every 10-15 days, 2 times in a row. The main insect pests are Huang Xi E and Anoplophora glabripennis. The control of Huang Xie is generally eliminated in late autumn to early spring combined with ploughing the soil and digging pupae, or 1000 times of fenitrothion emulsion is sprayed at the initial stage of larval occurrence. Bare-shouldered longicorn beetles can spray the larvae of tree cadres with 50% fenitrothion EC 150 times the solution to the eggs and xylem, cut down and burn the seriously harmful young trees from the base, or inject 40% dimethoate EC 100 times 200 times into the hole, and then plug the hole with soil, the effect is better.
