Small potted plant

Small bonsai water should be used by Rain Water. If tap water is used, it is best to store the chlorine in the water for two or three days and use it after volatilization. Small bonsai should not be watered directly like large and medium-sized bonsai, generally using the following two methods.

1. Immersion method. Is to soak the whole bonsai into the water, let the air bubbles out, and then take it out after completely soaking into the water; you can also soak it with a tray. Bonsai can maintain a water supply for a day or two in a tray filled with water. Several bonsai are placed in a large tray, which is easy to create a humid microclimate environment and promote growth.

2. Spray method. Is to use a special sprayer to spray water on the leaf and at the root. Spring and autumn season, every morning and evening watering; Meiyu period, to avoid heavy rain to prevent lodging and affect growth; summer and autumn season temperature is high, when the air is dry, to prevent heat and cool down, increase the number of spraying and watering.

Key points of small bonsai management 1. Timely fertilization small bonsai due to small pots, if not fertilized in time, it will cause premature senescence or branch withering. Foliage bonsai application of nitrogen-based fertilizer liquid; flower and fruit bonsai more phosphorus and potash fertilizer; pine and cypress bonsai, base fertilizer can be applied once a year. In summer, due to the suitable conditions of temperature and humidity, the pot plant is easy to send out new technology and tender leaves and grow very fast. properly replenishing the fertilizer of the pot plant can maintain the branch and leaf growth of the small bonsai. In addition, fertilization should be carried out when the basin soil is dry in sunny days, so that the fertilizer is not easy to be lost. Second, scientific watering of small bonsai water is appropriate to use Rain Water, such as tap water, it is best to store two or three days to let the chlorine in the water volatilized and used. Small bonsai should not be watered directly like large and medium-sized bonsai, generally using the following two methods. ① immersion method. Is to soak the whole bonsai into the water, let the air bubbles out, and then take it out after completely soaking into the water; you can also soak it with a tray. Bonsai can maintain a water supply for a day or two in a tray filled with water. Several bonsai are placed in a large tray, which is easy to create a humid microclimate environment and promote growth. ② spray method. Is to use a special sprayer to spray water on the leaf and at the root. Spring and autumn season, every morning and evening watering; Meiyu period, to avoid heavy rain to prevent lodging and affect growth; summer and autumn season temperature is high, when the air is dry, to prevent heat and cool down, increase the number of spraying and watering. Third, reasonable light small bonsai plants are generally shady, in addition to flowering and fruiting varieties, the time of direct sunlight every day can not be too long, only about an hour in summer, 2 hours in other seasons is enough; generally, as long as it can be raised under scattered light. Small bonsai plants can not be stored in the study bedroom for a long time, and there is no daylight all day. They should usually be moved outdoors in half a month or so, and then moved indoors after being maintained in a ventilated and cool place for a week. You can also put small bonsai plants indoors during the day and outdoors at night to moisturize the rain and promote growth. Fourth, pruning summer, is the growing period of small bonsai, plant growth is fast, strong germination, often affect its perfect shape, therefore, it is necessary to pruning and coring work. Especially strong germinating plants, such as June snow, sparrow plum, elm, etc., should be pruned five or six times a year in order to maintain their graceful posture; Luohan pine is pruned about once in June and October respectively; when five-needle pine changes new leaves in April, not only the overdense shoots should be cut off, but also the new buds should be removed by picking the new buds. Black pine and Huangshan pine can pick all the main buds and stay the new secondary buds. After the germination of Populus tomentosa and Pinus elliottii, leave 1 or 2 sections to pick the heart, make it sprout more, and then pick the heart. In this way, it can make its branches many and short, and maintain a beautiful shape. How to scientifically make co-planting bonsai

The so-called co-planting refers to the cultivation of more than three individual trees in flat or shallow pots to show the forest pattern.

Some even as many as dozens, and with the increase in the number of dried plants, the feeling of lush is more powerful. When planting, each pot is mostly based on the same tree species, because, in this way, it is not only conducive to cultivation, but also looks more natural as a whole. In addition, it is best to select tree species with the same leaf and dry muscle in order to show a unique flavor.

(1) choose to plant trees

The general distribution is as follows: main wood, auxiliary wood, and foil wood. If it is a small co-planting, in addition to the main wood, other cutting seedlings can also be used.

When shaping the co-planting type for the first time, the 7-stem co-planting is the best. Because the less the number of stems, the easier the cultivation.

(2) shaping the main points

The first way is to plant the main wood to the right or left, followed by auxiliary wood, and then accompany the lining wood. Use the length and thickness of various trees, tree shape, etc., to emphasize the sense of distance and the beauty of coordination. In addition, if it is dry for a long time, several paths can be created to show the shape of the forest.

For co-planted branches, the basic types of straight, curved and oblique stem shall prevail. The sound cultivation of all kinds of trees is the focus of the co-planting type. Because the closer to the outside of the basin, the easier it is to take root, and the roots of most of the trees located in the center are slow, so we should pay attention to the above problems when fertilizing and watering.

At the same time, the development of the root will influence the maturity of the main branch. Therefore, when cultivating, it is best to stretch the root out of the basin.
