A bonsai material, innate can not be perfect, can only be acquired through some skills to make up for congenital deficiencies. For example, there is a lack of roots on the surface, which is too common. There are many ways to make up for it, and today we use an example to see how piercing works.

This is an European Hawthorn tree picked from a mountain, and the downhill stump has a common feature: it has a very strong and long main root, which tries its best to grow downward so that the tree can be fixed on the ground, and then grows a lot of lateral roots. the function of the lateral root is to absorb water and minerals. In bonsai modeling, the main root is of no use to us, usually across the board, what is needed is the lateral root. Lateral roots are best able to form a circle of octagonal roots, but natural roots are often unsatisfactory. This Hawthorn tree is like this.

After the mountain was harvested and raised for three years, there is a very thick root, next to the space, looks very incongruous, this situation either cut off the root to let it send a new one, but it is a bit risky. This root is not suitable for pinch. So the bonsai master is going to graft a small root on this root.

Put it in the basin first.

And then find a little seedling.

Find another electric drill and drill a hole in the right place.

Like this

Then put the seedling through the hole.

Let the brown roots touch the tree roots.

Bury the roots.

And let this little seedling grow like crazy.

The more prosperous, the better.

After growing to a certain thickness, you can cut off the branches, and get such a result, is the effect not bad?
