Stone stage

What's the difference between a stone basin and a stone stage?

Well, the planting trough is dug in a different way.

Stone pots are used to mechanically dig holes in stones to provide planting holes for plants, while the stage of stones, AHA, is to find suitable stones and directly use the natural forms of stones to grow and shape plants.

They are all very distinctive and beautiful. It's just that the stone stage is more primitive and natural, and if it is made into a bonsai, it can show your superb bonsai skills and unusual artistic aesthetics.

Whoa, ha, ha.

In this article, let's try the planting techniques of the stone stage.

Taiwan friends should first understand that on a flat stone surface, the first thing you need is to solve the problem of fixing the root system, so that the plant can stand upright.

Over time, when the developed new roots firmly hold on to the rough stone surface, planting will be able to take this as a stage to stretch out a very different style.

"the stage of Stone" got its name!

The stage planting technique of Stone

1. Select a piece of stone with a flat surface and drill a small hole in the front.

two。 Use a small piece of aluminum wire to fold a small circle from the central part.

3. Adjust the small circle just enough to clamp the hole.

4. First remove the powder from the hole, and then fix the aluminum wire in the hole with a strong sticky glue.

5. Beginners from Taiwan had better take ferns as the first application object, because their roots are flexible and easy to deal with, and the adhesion of new roots is also strong.

6. The newly collected seedlings are not suitable to be used as materials. The Dryopteris Dryopteris in the picture has been cultivated in the basin for about 2 years. The root system has been able to hold on to the soil mass tightly, and the success rate of transplanting on the stone platform is high.

7. First remove the bottom net at the bottom of the basin, and then gently press the soil into a flat cone at the bottom, trying not to break it up.

8. Put it on the stone, the bottom should be affixed to the surface of the stone.

9. Wind the aluminum wire from the soil lump to a height of about 1 stroke 3. Do not tie a knot so as not to affect the root system development in the future.

10. After being fixed properly, even the upside-down suspension will not fall loose.

11. Use transparent sealing tape to circle a low wall like a basin wall around the stone sheet to protect the soil from loosening.

twelve。 Fill the gaps directly with fine-grained soil.

13. After the soil is filled, and then gently cover, do not roll too tight, as long as the shape can be fixed, planting soil can not leak.

Director hint: too tight will make drainage difficult, resulting in rotten roots.

14. The rhizome junction must be exposed to allow the root system to have the ability to exchange air and facilitate watering.

After completion, soak the soil thoroughly by flooding, and then supply water according to the usual care method in the future.

15. After a few months, the growth of plants can be used to determine whether they are adapted to this mode of cultivation.

If there are obvious germinating new leaves, the tape can be removed, part of the surface soil can be brushed off, and moss can be properly covered to protect the topsoil and roots.

Usually, an unconventional product can be cultivated in about half a year.

In order to let Taiwan friends understand the development of the root system after planting, the director specially removed the moss and part of the soil from the plants that had been on the stone for half a year.

The director found that the new roots had spread over the aluminum wire that used to encircle them, and some of them had grown on the stone surface.

Whether it is thin stone slices, thick stone bricks, high stone columns, plants grow on it, the most important thing is that the topsoil should not be lost.

Therefore, in addition to covering the moss to protect the basin soil, each watering should be carried out gently and gently.

Taiwan friends, please try it quickly. With the above planting techniques, you can also cultivate healthy plant roots on the stone, make the stone bonsai grow very well, and complete a basin of "stone stage" bonsai works.
