Cypress cuttings are only used as seedlings, but it's a pity that they are best used to make fingertip bonsai.

With nothing to do, the director chatted with friends from Taiwan who loved bonsai and talked about miniature bonsai. It seems that it has gradually become a new favorite in the flower market and is widely favored by the consumer market.

The director is no exception. He prefers this little bonsai art to the cute succulent potted plants on the market.

This gadget is beautiful in things and beautiful in price!

A small pot of cypress miniature bonsai is asking for two or three hundred. Alas, it can be said that "I am art, I can call whatever price I want"!

Hurry home, open "planting on the balcony", and continue to discuss "fingertip bonsai" with Taiwan friends. In this article, let's study how to insert the branches of a plant into the soil to make it take root and sprout, and then make fingertip bonsai.

Take the cultivation of cuttings of cypress as an example:

Fingertip bonsai preparation material

Cuttage seedling

Pot container (No. 4)

Soil (cultivated soil)

Plant activating agent

Essential tools for fingertip bonsai

Scissors

Tweezers

Saucer (a large container for soaking cuttings)

Buckets, or large-volume containers (for soaking potted plants)

Steps of making fingertip bonsai

One: prepare to cut branches and seedlings

1. When preparing to cut shoots, the buds at the front of the cuttings (the brightly colored part of the tip) are fragile and easy to get hurt, so take two or three old branches with you.

two。 Spare the blade at the end of the removal.

3. Put the activating agent into the saucer, dilute it with water (here it is diluted according to the ratio of 100 to 1), and soak the cuttings in it for a few hours.

Second: prepare the soil

1. Put the mixed soil into a basin.

two。 Fill the bucket with water and soak the bowl into the water so that it begins to absorb water from the bottom of the bowl.

3. The state in which the soil absorbs water.

Three: implant cuttings

1. Poke holes in the soil at moderate intervals with tweezers.

two。 Insert cuttings into the cave.

The director suggested that the interval should not be too large or too small for planting cuttings, and it is appropriate to be in a position that does not touch each other.

If the interval is too large, the cuttings may fall askew because of the strong wind.

3. Tweezers were used to strengthen the soil at the root of the cuttings and fix them.

Restaurant: flooding

Put the treated seedlings into a bucket so that they can fully absorb water.

Wu: put it in the shade.

One week after the completion of the cuttings, place it in a shady position to prevent direct sunlight.

Lu: complete

Cypress seedlings will take root within a year, after which they can be used as fingertip potted seedlings.

The Taiwan director asked his Taiwan friends a question: we cannot pull up the cuttings to confirm that they are rooting smoothly. How can we confirm that the plants are rooting smoothly?

Remember a rule of plant growth: for all plants, rooting and budding are closely related. If we find that the plants have sprouted, then we can basically confirm that the seedlings have taken root.

I don't know if what the station director said was clear and detailed. For those Taiwanese who do not understand it, the director has written a hidden poem for you. It may not be well written, but it can help you find the director.

More wonderful articles are found in a Tibetan head poem:

The breeze caresses the flowers

Wander through Nanshanyang

Sou Qi Qiao Bronze Sparrow platform

Plant red plants on the green clouds

-- to challenge: four poems with hidden head and tail, the first word is connected with the last word, you can get the eight-character motto and summon the head of the stage to be real! Remember to say when you come: "Director, I have cracked your secret."
