Bonsai Tigen can increase the appreciation of bonsai.

"the pavilion looks at the tip of the court, and the bonsai looks at the feet." A beautiful root plate will greatly increase the appreciation of bonsai. How do you get a beautiful tigen? The three-word maxim is mainly realized from the following three steps: exposure, consolidation and promotion.

First, dew. For the large pile with good congenital conditions and developed root system, the root system is covered in all directions and shows its claws, and the root system has little plasticity. When it is raised or planted in a pot, it is planted directly in a deeper pot, and after it survives, often use bamboo sticks and knives to pry off the surface soil gently, pry a small layer shallowly at a time, or use watering to water and rinse, so that the root is gradually exposed. What we need to pay attention to is not to show too much every time, and not to show it frequently, step by step, and not to pull out seedlings to encourage them.

Second, solid. For the pile with many and messy lateral roots, we can learn from the practice of stone-attached bonsai, pruning, weaving and fixing the roots into a certain shape, and then plant them in the pot. after the root system survives, the root system will be exposed gradually.

Third, promote. For some young broad-leaved trees with rapid root growth and large root plasticity, when planting in the pot, cut off the main roots and leave some roots with the same thickness and growth to cultivate, so as to promote them to grow down, grow thick, and turn the basin every year. Intentionally add a layer of culture soil to the bottom of the basin, and then plant the pile on it to raise the plant, and then trim the root system above the basin surface, so that the foundation is exposed. In this way, the root system grows a little downward and exposed a little bit every year until the desired effect is achieved.
