Bonsai sometimes encounter such embarrassment, the pile cultivated for several years, the root plate is defective, some positions lack roots, it is almost impossible to induce it to grow on its own. Is there any way to fill the root quickly? Yes, use the leaning method. It is to use a small seedling to lean against the missing root, grow for a period of time, and then merge the two into a whole, and then remove all the branches of the seedling, but the root of the seedling is forever connected to the old pile. This method is simple, but it also takes some time. As mentioned in previous articles, the unit of time for playing bonsai is years, ranging from two to three years to twenty or thirty years. These methods and techniques can only relatively shorten the molding time, but can not be said to be completed in a short time.

This is an example of a triangular maple. From the picture, the root system of this triangular maple is good as a whole, but it has some defects and gaps. So he added some roots to him by the method of connection.

In the specific operation, first compare the height position, and then remove the skin where the seedling and the old pile come into contact, expose the cambium, and stick the cambium of the two together.

Then fasten it with tape or aluminum wire, or nail it in with a small nail. be sure to fit it tightly. If you use small nails, the effect may be better, it doesn't hurt to nail a few more, and the tie will make a mark. In my previous article, I posted some pictures of trees devouring iron railings in the process of growing in nature. The nail will eventually be swallowed up, don't worry, it may have been digested by the trees after a few years. Seal the fitting part with plant sealing glue to prevent infection and formation layer dehydration and dryness and failure.

Then put it in the pot and put it in the pot.

After a period of time, the two merged together.

After a while, if not, it may not be obvious that it has been grafted. But from this picture, the ligature marks are more obvious.
