Experience of transplanting and maintenance of bonsai pile

I. determination of transplanting time of bonsai piles

The determination of the transplanting time of bonsai piles has always had its own opinions. According to my own experience of planting piles, it is generally necessary to vary from time to time and from place to place, and should not be treated rigidly. The transplanting time in southwest China should generally be free of rain, snow and frost, and deciduous tree species and cypresses can be transplanted before the Waking of Insects in the early winter to the following year. Evergreen tree species and cold-resistant tree species can be warmed up in spring, and the best time is from early March to late April. When transplanting, attention should be paid to preserving the fibrous root as much as possible, which is the lifeline for the survival of this pile and the normal transport of nutrients. Therefore, the key to the survival of the new pile is to understand the ecological habits of various tree species and the selection of local climatic conditions.

II. Work before the planting of new piles

After all the transplanted new piles and the mountain piles purchased from the farmers on the market are returned, the first thing to do is to put the new piles in a pool or soak them in a water tank for about 24 hours, which can reduce the probability that the new piles will die due to dehydration. In the process of soaking, the whole pile must not be submerged under water, which will cause the pile head to suffocate completely. It is OK to submerge 2/3 of the lower part of the new pile, and it should not be soaked for too long so that it can fully absorb enough water. Small and medium-sized pile heads can be soaked in a solution with a certain amount of medical potassium permanganate (usually the water color is light red), which plays a role in disinfection and sterilization of new piles with bacteria. The large pile head can be sprayed with a hand-pressed spray can to wet the whole pile.

3. Necessary treatment of new pile, branch and root system

To take out a new pile that has been soaked for a day to replenish enough water from the pool, it is necessary to put down the pile, cut the root, leave branches and other processes, which is also a crucial step for the success or failure of this pile, and it is also the key to the quality of this bonsai after shaping. The first is to examine the pile, in mind to draw the shaping of the pile, so that the bamboo in mind (beginners can ask the teacher to guide). After making a draft, you can put down the pile boldly and meticulously, strive for one step to be clean and clean, and don't drag the mud. After putting down the pile, be sure to cut the cut flat, make sure that the pile body is uneven and the sawing point is smooth, and that there are no cracks in the bark and xylem. After flattening the pile wound, apply it evenly with white latex or wound healing agent, and then cover it with black plastic film to ensure that the water in the pile does not flow out of the wound, prevent the retraction of branches and prevent the invasion of bacteria. The excess injured root, broken root and rotten root should also be removed, and the fibrous root should be retained as much as possible. If possible, you can apply the wound healing agent to dry, put the root into the prepared mud mixed with crushed soil, potassium permanganate, clear water, and then add appropriate amount of rooting powder to soak for a few minutes. Then choose a suitable purple sand basin or general plain burning mud basin to plant or pile soil pseudo-planting, the basin can be a little larger, which is conducive to the root system to stretch and survive.

IV. Construction of the surrounding environment of the new pile

It is necessary to create a best adaptive environment for the new pile which has just been transplanted into the basin, so as to promote the pile head to come back to life as soon as possible, germinate, sprout, branch, take root and turn into the normal metabolic growth process. It is necessary to maintain a moist and gentle space in the surrounding environment.

1. The new piles of potted plants should achieve the following points:

The new pile should be sprayed with a spray can more than ten times a day until the pile sprouts and the branches are completely Lignified, so as to achieve the purpose of non-dewatering and shrinking branches.

Spray or sprinkle water around all the new pile basins to fully maintain the humidity of the air so as to facilitate the early survival of the pile head.

It is best to place the new pile in the shade where it can naturally come into contact with some scattered sunlight; if there is no such condition, you can set up a sunshade net and grass curtain to shade the sun properly, the new pile can not be placed directly in strong sunlight.

The transplanted new pile must not be placed on the tuyere to let the strong air flow blow directly, which is easy to cause dehydration and branch shrinkage and death.

2. The new piles planted in the ground should do the following:

The suitable site space should be selected in advance, the newly planted piles can be maintained normally, and the pre-basic modeling work can be carried out smoothly.

First loosen the topsoil, and then pseudo-plant the new pile on the horizon, which can avoid the death caused by the rotten root, absorb the ground temperature and promote the early rooting and branch survival of the new pile.

It is better to do a good job of moisturizing and spraying the new pile, such as winding it with straw rope or moss, but these attachments should be removed gradually after the pile sprouts. After passing the above two major protection measures, the survival rate of such transplanted new piles can generally be guaranteed to be more than 90% to 95%.

5. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests in transplanting new bonsai piles

Most of the new piles that have just been transplanted from mountain farmers or mountain jungles have a very bad living environment, and the piles are accompanied by various harmful bacteria, insect decay, parasitic eggs, and so on, so we must take some necessary measures to deal with them:

The main results are as follows: 1. Soak in a certain proportion of medical potassium permanganate for about one day before planting piles, which plays a certain disinfection and germicidal function.

2. After pot or ground planting, 1000 times of omethoate solution should be sprayed into the pile once a week to kill young pests.

3. Spray phoxim 1000 times liquid into the basin soil once a month until there are no ants and earthworms in the basin soil.

4. Most of the newly transplanted ancient piles are riddled with holes, and there are many kinds of pests and eggs, among which heart-eating insects are the most frightening. When the flowers bloom in spring, they will go out and nibble on the piles, so they need to prescribe the right medicine in time. Omethoate solution can be inhaled with a medical syringe to find the hole where the worm is drilled out of the sawdust, and the needle is injected once or twice, and the pest cannot escape its life. You can also use cotton wool to suck the potion and stuff it into the hole with wire or bamboo stick, which will have the same effect.

VI. Thinning and shaping of new pile branches and buds

For new piles that have already shown vitality, the cultivation of people must not be careless, and some pile heads are fake work. Generally speaking, in the first two years, the stakes do not move branches and shears, so that the branches can grow vigorously and achieve the goal of growing, thickening and strengthening in the early stage. Bonsai people all know that there will be a root under the upper branch. If a branch is cut off at this moment, the root that connects the earth may die. Therefore, we must not act in haste, but be patient and treat it carefully.

However, for the new piles that are already thriving and growing, we can also properly dredge the excess branches according to the requirements of the shape, but we must leave more prepared branches in the parts of the useful branches and wait for the strongest branches to be left in the coming year and cut off the excess branches. On the other hand, for the piles that sprout too much, we can also delete some of the weak buds appropriately, and leave some more for later modeling, so that the nutrients provided by the roots can be completely transported to the useful shoots to promote their growth. In addition, the new pile branches generally avoid wire winding, only properly according to the future modeling requirements to hoist to the position, and then let its normal growth increase sturdily, to meet the best requirements of future modeling.

VII. other conditions for the survival of new pile transplantation

To improve the survival rate of transplanting new piles, in addition to the above points, it is inseparable from the soil of nature. Each new pile has its own preferences, some prefer acidic soil, and some like alkaline soil. Growers should not generalize, but should treat them carefully and correctly. However, the soil for planting new piles must have the basic conditions of looseness, air permeability and good drainage. Water is the blood of all living plants. If the new pile is not watered, it will die, but the new pile must not hurt the water. It is better to keep it moist. The best water is a river, pond, natural Rain Water, if there are no conditions, tap water can be used to precipitate in a vat or pond for one or two days. The growth of all things depends on the sun, mild sunlight will promote the survival and growth of the new pile, but strong exposure will also make it hurt, so the new pile is only suitable for recovery under low light and scattered light source at the initial stage. Nutrients are the foundation to promote the health of the new pile, but the fertilization of the new pile must be careful, and most growers generally do not apply it, but for some new piles with good roots before planting, and those who are growing well at present, they can also apply appropriate amount of thin fertilizer. this will also promote branch growth and early formation.
