Mountain pine, also known as Pinus massoniana, has some shortcomings, such as slow growth, difficult to transplant, long branches, low germination rate and so on. This kind of tree species can be used to make bonsai, but in recent years, it has been constantly improved and gradually overcome by bonsai lovers. Gradually showing the advantages of mountain pine bonsai pile, now it has become a rare good material for Lingnan bonsai production.

It can grow anywhere except the north and south poles, drought, flood, heat, cold and barren, all of which are advantages that other tree species cannot have.

Main points of production:

Pile picking: before the resin germinates before and after the Beginning of Spring, take the soil mass and protect the fibrous root, the soil mass should not be loose (this is the key to survival), seal the root head and wound, remove 2/5 to 1/2 of the branch and leaf quantity, and maintain the balance between the root and the branch.

Planting: to use a large soil basin, it is best to plant in a wooden box or under the ground. In the initial stage, in order to prevent long-term rainy days, you can put a circle of plastic film around the slightly higher soil to cover the pot or tree nest. Take shelter from the wind, warm and sunny place.

Management: proper shading at the initial stage, spray more foliar water every day, maintain good ventilation, basin soil dry and wet, slightly dry. The all-day sunshine after survival is conducive to the accelerated growth of branches and leaves of Pinus elliottii and promotes the emergence of new roots.

Note:

Don't believe too much in the words of "dry pine and wet cypress". In the growing season, as long as the soil is well drained and breathable, it doesn't hurt to water it every day.

Mountain pine is an all-day plant, but it can't be exposed to the sun in summer. Lack of sunshine will lead to poor growth.

Often clean old needles and dead needles and maintain a proper amount of needles to facilitate ventilation and daylighting.

Do not move frequently relative to a fixed maintenance position.

Pruning and grafting wounds must be sealed in time and stop glue should be released.

Pinus elliottii is a shallow-rooted tree species and should not be planted deeply.

Pinus elliottii has higher requirements for soil and should be taken seriously.

Mountain pine branches are easy to shrink and die when there are no branches and leaves.
