What are the cultivation and maintenance methods of tree stumps?

The stump should be planted immediately after digging, and the necessary items, such as nutritious soil, flowerpot, branch shears, etc., should be prepared before planting. Tree stump bonsai generally requires soil with good drainage, good air permeability, rich nutrition and rich humus. Planting new piles and forming bonsai can prepare their own soil. The method of making basin soil is as follows.

(1) take 5 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of rotten bean cake residue, 2 parts of rotten cow dung, 2 parts of plant ash, 2 parts of yellow sand or river sand, mix well and use.

(2) under the pine and cypress tree (2) under the pine and cypress tree, the coniferous soil has been decayed for many years (figure). The coniferous soil is slightly acidic soil, loose and permeable, which is beneficial to plant growth, and can be mixed with some garden soil after digging back.

(3) it can also be made of garden soil and leaves. A layer of soil, a layer of leaves, a layer of human dung and urine or cow dung pile up, turn cold in winter, and sift next spring.

The blank is best planted in a mud basin (figure 2). The basin takes the mud basin as the top, and the mud basin is breathable and permeable to facilitate the survival of plants. The size and depth of the mud basin should be determined according to the size of the blank. Pruning according to the shape of the stump before planting, cut off the unnecessary branches in the upper part, in order to reduce its water evaporation and improve the survival rate. At the same time, cut off the injured and diseased roots of the stump, and disinfect the roots, and rooting agents can be added under conditional cultivation. Cover and bind the large wounds on the trunk with plastic sheeting, or apply wound glue to prevent the trunk from losing water. The method of planting is the same as that of general potted trees: first put tiles on the basin bottom hole, then add a small amount of nutritious soil to the basin bottom, then put the tree stump on people, add soil around the roots, and constantly press them with their hands until the roots are buried in the soil.

After the new pile is planted, it is watered thoroughly so that the soil is in full contact with the root system. Then put the stump in a semi-shady environment. Water it thoroughly the next day. Later, the soil should be watered after the soil is dry, but the stump should be sprayed or sprinkled several times a day to reduce the water evaporation of the stem and prevent it from being drained. Pay attention to the amount of spraying water can not be large, try not to make the basin soil too wet, to prevent the soil too wet rotten roots. Too wet pot soil is not conducive to the growth of new roots.

Because the blank will lose some water on the way of excavation and transportation, it should be kept alive at the beginning of the pot. After the growth of new leaves, it can be moved to a place with suitable light for maintenance, and the stump can be gradually moved to a place with better light for cultivation. At the same time of the growth of the new pile, the branches can be left according to the modeling needs, laying the foundation for the future bonsai production.

In addition to the maintenance and management of water and fertilizer, special attention should be paid to the following points.

(1) Cold protection this is the key to the survival of the stump. The stump currently planted in autumn and winter has been damaged and lacks cold resistance. If you do not pay attention to cold prevention, it will be extremely difficult for the stump to survive. The ways to prevent cold are put in the greenhouse, build scaffolding or bury the basin in the soil to cover the buried soil to keep warm, as long as the basin soil does not freeze. Because of the strong water absorption capacity of the root system of the newly planted stump, the newly planted stump can not be placed in the greenhouse with higher temperature to prevent the stump from losing water and draining. If the ambient temperature is high, we should pay attention to spraying water on the branches to reduce the water evaporation of the stump.

(2) to prevent the phenomenon of "fake living" as soon as the newly planted stump sprouts, some people think that it is already alive, so they relax their management. in fact, this is the phenomenon of "fake living". Because the plant itself is nutritious, as long as the environmental conditions are suitable, even if the new root has not yet grown, the branch will grow new bud. At this time, attention should be paid to management to ensure water supply and prevent the stump from losing water. "fake living" is the first step in real life, because these new buds, leaves and branches can carry out photosynthesis, promote early rooting and produce nutrients to improve survival.

Suitable for watering bonsai trees

(1) Tap water most families use tap water. When watering bonsai trees with tap water, it is best to use the water in buckets and tanks for one day.

(2) the domestic water used by residents in remote areas of rivers and lakes and in mountainous areas is mostly river or lake water. When watering bonsai trees with river and lake water, be careful not to water them with polluted river or lake water, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to the growth of trees and may lead to their death in serious cases.

(3) groundwater is used by residents in some areas to extract groundwater, because the temperature of groundwater varies greatly. When watering bonsai trees with groundwater, it is best to put groundwater in buckets and tanks for one day and then use it.
