Beginners look at the basic tree shape of bonsai.

For many beginners of bonsai, when they get a seedling, they don't know how to do it, what should they do? One of the important reasons for this is that there is no basic tree concept of bonsai in mind.

The basic nature of bonsai is "nature". Fruit trees blown by the breeze in the mountains, strong pines standing on the cliffs, and miscellaneous trees growing in pursuit of sunlight. Bonsai condenses these scenery on small flowerpots and uses the characteristics of various tree species flexibly to create a free and easy tree shape. It is very important to observe and summarize the natural world.

Now give a brief introduction to the basic tree shape of bonsai:

You can write it down and compare it with the natural tree. Only when you have a big tree in your heart can you have a tree in your hand.

The straight stem does not bend on the stem and is straight from the root to the top of the tree. Roots are also important, and in this case it is generally believed that octagonal roots are the best. It is generally said that this potted plant thrives under favorable conditions.

The top of the sloping trunk tilts to the left and right. Although it is generally straight, it is still bent, and as a whole, it looks like the feeling of being blown aside by the wind. The point is to have roots in the opposite direction to provide a sense of stability. It would be even more interesting if there were branches sticking out downwind.

The appearance wood bends from the top of the rhizome to the left and right, and forms a certain appearance at the same time. The front and rear bends are best slightly forward, and are purer if there are bends on the branches. However, extreme bending can sometimes seem artificial. Something roughly between the shape of straight dry and the appearance of wood is called "standing wood".

A cliff that hangs down from the rhizome is called a "cliff". If it is a drooping branch, it is called a "semi-cliff". Because the stem of the cliff is generally lower than the edge of the basin, there should be a platform when decorating. The treetops should face straight ahead.

The slender stem of the literati wood is accompanied by interesting bends, with few branches and leaves, but one of them grows very tall, emphasizing the thinness of the stem. In order to show a little dry flavor, it is better to tilt the stem slightly.

The feeling that the wind moves the branches downwind to one side is very similar to the oblique stem, except that the branches of the blowwood are all fixed to one side.

The situation in which more than 2 stems grow above the double stem and other rhizomes is called "multi-stem". One is called "single stem", two is called "double stem", three is called "three stem", and more than five are called "multi-stem". (2) if there is little difference in size between the stems, it is called "husband and wife"; if there is a big difference, it is called "parent-child work"; if there is a big difference, it is called "grandson and grandson work".

Even root, planting even root is only one root, and planting is several trees which are independent of each other.

The flat stem is extremely curved near the root.
