The key points of making mountain pine bonsai have achieved a high survival rate.

Mountain pine is a relatively common tree, also known as Masson pine, but there are very few materials that can be used as bonsai, because although it is common, it grows slowly, and it is very troublesome to make and maintain. so owning mountain pine bonsai can be regarded as a treasure.

The production of mountain pine bonsai is mainly divided into four parts: pile picking, planting, management, and modeling. In the process of picking stakes, we must pay attention to time, because too early or too late, the resin in the stump will flow, if the bark damage is caused in the process of stump picking, then the resin will seal the wound, and then it will not be conducive to the survival of the stump. So it is best to choose before and after the Beginning of Spring, when the value of the stump is relatively stable and has not yet germinated.

At the same time, after the stump is finished, the stump must be pretreated, the wound and the root head must be sealed, and there are soil masses and intact fibrous roots, and the branches and leaves should also be decided according to the condition of the root. The final planting is best to choose a wide basin, the choice of soil is also best to use loose soil, which is conducive to root growth; in terms of water needs to be watered properly.

In terms of light, potted plants that have just finished planting should pay attention to shading measures, because excessive light that does not completely grow in the roots at the initial stage of planting will cause the plant to lose too much water, and it will not matter after it has completely survived. Of course, it is best to put it in the vent and pay attention to the soil moisture. In the process of modeling, it is necessary to combine grafting and cutting, and pay attention to its growth period, otherwise it will cause damage to the plant.

There are also a lot of details to pay attention to in the daily maintenance process, otherwise it will affect the growth and appreciation of mountain pine bonsai. Mountain pine is a kind of plant that likes the sun very much. if the light time is not long enough, it will have side effects on its growth; unlike other plants, it does not have broad leaves, and its needles should be treated regularly. Some dead and aging needles are removed to avoid competing with new needles for nutrients; they are also fastidious about the location of potted plants, which should be placed in places with light and ventilation and cannot be moved for a long time. Of course, pay attention to the protective measures in the windy and rainy weather.

It is also very noteworthy that in the process of planting, the potted soil selected must not be disinfected. Many people think that disinfection can avoid microbial damage to the plant, but because of the particularity of Pinus elliottii, because it is a mycorrhizal tree species, it will also have a great impact on its roots in the process of disinfection, and in serious cases, the new roots of the plant will not grow, resulting in the death of the plant. Therefore, there are certain skills for the production and maintenance of mountain pine bonsai, otherwise it is difficult to feed.
