The most common style of Lamei bonsai is "natural", which is characterized by prominent trunk and distinct layers, usually with direct branches in the shape of hedges, and adheres to the principle of frequent application and re-watering of fertilizer and water. Bonsai modeling mainly lies in pruning, modeling should follow the following four principles.

1, the theme is clear, the idea is clear, choose the appropriate raw material according to the bonsai theme.

2. Pruning has a clear purpose: cut branches and excess branches decisively. In the first year, we intend to cultivate branches and strong roots (strong roots), and then prune the new branches in the second year after a long period of pruning.

3. Lamei belongs to the bonsai plant of viewing flowers and leaves. It pays attention to more branches and flowers, so don't prune it wantonly.

4. In order to root and claw exposure, the root treatment method is mainly divided into two kinds, the first is artificial planing, which is fast, but easy to hurt the root, and the second is watering erosion. This method needs to be washed many times, it is not easy to hurt the root, but the speed is slow.

Preserved plums like to sprout, and kidney beans can remove excess roots and buds all the year round. After the Spring Festival, after the two leaves of Lamei leaves pair of leaves, combined with plastic surgery began to pick leaves. After the leaves germinate, the leaves can be picked for 2 or 4 times.

1. The knife cuts and breaks branches. According to the habit of rapid healing, brittle wounds that are easy to fold and unfold, the design can be carried out during the growing period, but preferably when the bud is just budding and the leaves do not spread. When the knife is cut, the vertical axis of the branch is 45 degrees, and the depth can reach 2 to 3 of the diameter. Generally speaking, according to the size of the bearing angle, the angle is small and the angle is large, so the branch can be disconnected and the shape is needed. After folding, it can be fixed with wire. The incision can be wrapped with plastic tape. After the incision has healed, it can be removed.

2, Panza. When the growing period is going on, you can use a knife to cut the branches. The effect is achieved slowly after banding.

3, trim. Generally in the late flowering stage, combined with trimming modeling. The branches incompatible with the main branches were cut off and the 0.5-1cm was tilted 45 degrees in front of the leaf axils. Special attention should be paid to the budding of leaf buds.

4, pick the heart. This is an important modeling method. Generally, there are 2-3 pairs of leaves, which can be taken out of the heart, 2-4 times a year, so that the main branch can be rapidly formed.

There are four ways to trunk:

The main results are as follows: (1) Upper branch type, also known as deer horn type. The main branches and branchlets are mainly upward and downward, growing from less to more, forming more naturally, mainly through pruning and coring.

(2) horizontal branching, the main branches and branches grow horizontally, and the branches can be upward and slightly upward. They are formed by banding, pruning and coring.

(3) Vertical branches, main branches, branches and branchlets are all downward. They are mainly composed of flat piercing and knife cutting.
