Bonsai production: skillfully using the connection method to supplement the root of Acer truncatum

Bonsai masters are a group of paranoid perfectionists. If there is a little defect in the bonsai, it will make them feel like a pain in the throat and make them uncomfortable, so they have to make it perfect according to their own wishes. This triangular maple sketch is a typical Japanese sketch bonsai, a tapered trunk and a triangular crown. This kind of sketch is mass-produced in bonsai gardens in Japan. It is estimated that this tree was also transported from Japan, or it may have been made by the bonsai master himself. The whole tree is fairly regular, but the root is not perfect, and there is a lack of root in one position on the left. This is unacceptable in the eyes of the bonsai master, so make it up.

So I found a triangular maple from the nursery.

Such a thick triangular maple has been growing for two or three years.

Clean up the position where the root needs to be filled, dig a slot longitudinally, and cut the bark.

Find the right place to repair the scion

Then stick the two together to form a good layer, then nail them together and fasten them tightly together.

Then use plant sealing glue to seal around the fitting part.

In this way, the root system is closer to perfection.

Then you can put it on the pot, put it on the basin normally, and maintain it normally. After about half a year, the two trees can be organically combined to cut off the scion.
