What are the characteristics of Sheung Shui stone bonsai? what do you need to pay attention to when selecting plants?

The stone has two main characteristics. The first has the characteristics of soft and brittle, which also makes it flexible and able to create different shapes; the second characteristic is strong water absorption, which is mainly due to the fact that there are many pure natural caves in the stone, which are connected to each other. Because of two characteristics, it is often used to make potted plants, rockery and other ornamental objects, in addition, it can be placed indoors to increase the humidity of the air, especially in the dry season is extremely practical.

It is found in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other places, although there are a few differences in the quality and internal structure of the stone, but its good water absorption is their commonness. Artists and bonsai enthusiasts really use their differences and characteristics to create a variety of bonsai.

No matter how good the bonsai is, it also needs careful care, otherwise the plants attached to the absorbent stone will die, and the ornamental value of the bonsai will be greatly reduced. How to maintain a good absorbent stone bonsai key lies in mastering the habits of plants in bonsai. Some plants need sunlight, so they can't be placed indoors without sunlight and ventilation. Like plants that like shade growth, they can't give sunlight. In addition, temperature is also an important factor affecting plant growth, so the optimal temperature for biological growth should also be considered. Details like that have to be noted.

Absorbent stone as its name implies must be inseparable from water, water is also necessary for plant growth, so attention to water is particularly important. The water in the potted plant will not flow, so it needs to be changed frequently, otherwise the water quality will be polluted in the long run. Plant growth can not be separated from water, but its water requirements are also different, so according to the characteristics of the plant to determine the amount of water.

In addition to water, the growth of plants also requires nutrients, so adding nutrient solution to water is a good way, but this will also bring problems, if the nutrient solution will also attract bacteria, in the case of rich nutrients, bacteria can breed, so the bottom of the basin should also be washed frequently. The plants on the bonsai will also have normal withered branches and leaves, and the dead leaves should also be cleaned up in time. If they are not cleaned up, the first will affect the ornamental nature of the bonsai intuitively, and the second will breed more bacteria, causing the plants to rot and die. Therefore, although the water-absorbing bonsai is beautiful, it cannot be separated from the careful care of people.
