The latest method of making miniascape of Buxus tomentosa

Buxus microphylla is an evergreen shrub or small tree of Buxaceae. It likes warm, semi-shady and humid climate. It is drought-tolerant, cold-resistant and pruning resistant. It belongs to shallow root tree species. It grows slowly and has a long life. It is an excellent tree material for making bonsai.

Bonsai material is the first use of sowing or cuttage propagation, but the cultivation time is long, and it is difficult to get packing exposed claws, vigorous good material. Second, dig out old piles. Old pile digging is best in summer, followed by spring and autumn, and worst in winter. After digging, the pile blank can be wrapped in plastic bag to keep moisture at the root. When planting, remove the descending taproot and cut off most of the leaves to prevent water loss and ensure survival. Can be first open field blank, can also be directly on the pot, but to cultivate more than two years before modeling production.

Yixing purple sand basin or light-colored glazed pottery basin can be selected for basin selection. The shape and size of the basin can be determined according to the size and shape of the pile body. In principle, cliff-style should use square or circular thousand-barrel pots, inclined dry, curved dry, jungle type, etc., round, oval, rectangular pots should be used.

Potting soil is fertile sandy loam, potting soil is fertile loose, ventilated and permeable sandy loam is better, can also be used slag 40%, humus soil or vegetable garden soil 40%, river sand 20% mixed preparation.

The best time to put on the pot is between spring and summer. When planting, too long and dense roots should be cut off, and the roots can be corrected according to the needs of modeling, so that the roots can naturally stretch in the pot. The planting depth should not be too deep. After covering the soil with water, put it in a semi-shady place, keep the pot soil moist, spray water frequently on the leaves, and wait for the plants to grow for about 30 days before turning to normal maintenance.

Modeling should be based on the plant's basic tree phase, along with its natural trend, artistic modeling. Modeling techniques can be cut, can tie, but climb tie in summer, autumn is the best, at this time the branches are more flexible, easy to bend; pruning should be carried out in spring. Buxus microphylla germination force is strong, but "no leaves, no hair", so whether it is modeling or daily pruning, the branches can not be in place by "leaving leaves segment by segment, short section forced bud" method, so that it gradually downward germination in place, can not blindly pursue one step in place.

Maintenance management of small leaves Buxus wet, need regular watering. May to August is the growth of boxwood exuberant period, can be combined with watering several times topdressing thin decomposed cake fertilizer. Pay attention to pruning excessive branches, overlapping branches and redundant branches that affect the tree shape at any time. To timely pick off the fruits of small leaves Buxus fruit, so as not to consume nutrients. The time of changing pots of sunflower seeds and boxwood is generally 2 to 3 years for small and medium-sized pots and 5 years for large pots. The plants with weak growth should be turned over in time. Combined with pot change, cut off some old roots that are too long and too dense, replace new culture soil and replant.
