The turning of the bonsai of trees

Generally speaking, the small bonsai turns the basin every 1-2 years, the medium bonsai turns the basin every 2-3 years, and the large bonsai turns the basin every 5 years. If it is an old tree pile scene, it can be turned over every few years.

Tree species that grow vigorously and like fertilizer have more pots turning times and shorter interval years, while slow-growing trees that need less fertilizer can turn pots less times and interval years longer. The old pile scene of pine and cypress should not be turned over more.

Trees with luxuriant branches and leaves and well-developed roots should turn the pot frequently. Turning the basin can be determined by the growth of the roots. when the soil is not dry or wet, turn the basin upside down and beat the bottom of the basin with hands, so that all the trees with soil roots are poured out to check the soil block consolidation and root distribution. if the soil block is hardened and the root system is densely covered with the bottom of the soil block, it means that the basin must be turned over.

The best time to turn the basin is to choose the dormant period of trees, mostly in early spring or late autumn. If you retain more of the original soil, you can turn the basin at any time, not limited by the season. If you need to replace most or all of the land, you should strictly choose the appropriate period of turning the basin.

Placement and protection

The placement of the tree stump bonsai should also be determined according to the characteristics of the tree species, and should generally be placed in a ventilated and transparent place with a certain space humidity, insufficient sunlight, poor ventilation and no certain space humidity, which can make the plant yellow and dry, leading to the occurrence of diseases and insect pests and even death. However, some tree species like shade, and some stumps need more sunlight, so measures such as shading or shading should be taken. For example, some evergreen broad-leaved or non-broad-leaved trees, such as yellow poplar, rhododendron, camellia, etc., mostly like shade, while crape myrtle, ginkgo, begonia and other Xiyang, so it should be determined according to the specific situation. Some tree stump bonsai is also cold-resistant or non-cold-resistant, and the non-cold-resistant stumps generally have to enter the greenhouse maintenance and management in winter, such as banyan tree, Fujian tea and so on.
