A quick method for bonsai modeling of Tripterygium

Stick stem begonia flowers and colors are beautiful and pleasing to the eye, the branches are vigorous and oblique, hard and powerful. Just in the soft, the most Rao ancient fruit mature in October, golden yellow, but also quite ornamental value, is an excellent flower and fruit bonsai tree species. Generally, it takes about five years for the bonsai to grow from cuttage to shaping. In addition, the hard branches are easy to grow, and it is difficult to bind, trim and reshape. Through five years of practice, we have explored a set of quick modeling method of bonsai with pedicel begonia, which is introduced as follows:

First, cultivate plant shape: for ground or potted begonia, cut off diseased and weak branches, dead branches, so that the cluster is hollow, conducive to ventilation and light. And select the unique branches for careful pruning, pruning 3-5 times in the same year to make the branches bend and extend, and the last pruning should be completed before the end of July, otherwise the flower bud differentiation will be affected and the number of flowers will be rare in the coming year. At the same time, strengthen fertilizer and water management to ensure that flowers and leaves are luxuriant.

Second, high-altitude crimping: after pasting the stem begonia flowers, you can carry out high-altitude crimping. First, the selected twigs were girdled with 1?1.5cm, and if smeared with 50?100pp root powder, it could take root 5-10 days ahead of time. Then take the square clean plastic film with long 15?25cm on the side, drill a small hole in the center, just pass through the tree trunk, and cut it to the center in the middle of one side, put the plastic film around the 10cm below the girdle, tie it up, and irrigate the prepared culture soil. The cultivated soil is light in quality and good in passage. vermiculite or rotten leaf soil, mature sawdust and a small amount of garden soil are generally used, mix evenly and sprinkle with appropriate amount of water. The culture soil in Neisheng is 0.25 kilograms, and then the plastic film is bound at the top of 5c of the ring. Daily management and protection should pay attention to maintain the humidity of the culture soil in the plastic film, such as the culture soil is white, you can use a needle to inject water, and pay attention to plastic surgery.

Third, cut off the mother plant culture: one month after high pressure, white tender roots can be produced one after another at the ring peeling place. When the number of roots exceeds 10, the total length exceeds 50cm, and the root color turns yellow, the mother plant can be cut off. According to the rooting situation, the shoot size and trunk thickness can be cut off for 1-3 times. At present, the plastic film can be removed and cultivated in flowerpots slightly larger than soil balls. at the same time, some branches or leaves should be cut off to maintain the balance of transpiration and water absorption. After two weeks of maintenance in a shaded place, you can enter the routine maintenance. Because the sticking stem begonia takes root quickly, it has to be changed once in that year. In winter, flowerpots can be buried in the ground to spend the winter outdoors. The following year, it became a bonsai with quaint posture, luxuriant flowers and leaves, and numerous fruits. The characteristic of this method is that the modeling time is short, it takes only one year, and the root system is uniform, and the root can be curved slightly; the root is small, suitable for planting in various landscape pots; the flowers are luxuriant, the posture is quaint, and can be produced in large quantities at one time. According to the experiment, the high pressure on the 10-year-old branch can still be a success. The deficiency is that it is not easy to expose the root, it needs to be raised for more than 2 years.
