Pruning

After the plant really survives, it needs to be trimmed and styled. In the first year, you don't need too much pruning, just cut off the extra branches, and remember not to cut them in a hurry. During this period, you can bend or twist each branch according to your own needs, so that it can be shaped in the future. When the plant grows to a certain height and thickness, it can be pruned. The focus of the six wood bonsai is flowers and leaves, so the pruning of the branches should be based on the shape of the plant as far as possible, not too deliberate modeling. After pruning, regular maintenance and inspection should be carried out, and long branches, weak branches and residual flowers should be subtracted in time to maintain the ornamental effect of the plant.

Daily management

Liudaomu likes the sun, usually maintenance must pay attention to ensure that it has sufficient light, try to put it in the place where there is sunshine all day. Watering should be paid attention to in summer, and the amount of water is more than in other seasons. In other seasons, watering can be carried out in accordance with the principle of "watering until dry, watering thoroughly". The six trees should be fertilized with organic fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer must be sufficient before and after flowering, which can be carried out a few times at ordinary times, and there is no need to apply fertilizer temporarily after stopping growing in winter. Bonsai should take into account the problem of changing the basin, generally 2-3 years to change the basin, the time to change the basin as far as possible in spring or summer, after changing the basin should be equipped with new soil, soil moisture and fertility should be guaranteed. In addition, the daily management of six wood bonsai should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, the most common diseases and insect pests are aphids and coal pollution disease, once found, immediate measures should be taken to use drugs to eliminate diseases and insect pests and maintain the health of bonsai.

Bonsai wood for foliage and flowers, six trees

Liudaomu, a good bonsai wood for viewing leaves and flowers

Flower bonsai network guide: this is the flower bonsai network editor to bring you about the bonsai design principles should be grasped the article, let's take a look at it!

Six-way tree, belongs to honeysuckle family, six-way tree genus, shrub. There are about ten varieties in China. Several varieties, such as lobular wood and southern tree, are suitable for bonsai materials, distributed in the central, southwestern and southeastern regions. The height of the six trees is generally 1m. The leaves are ovate and the leaves are smaller. Flowers white or pink; Cymes solitary or forming panicles; Corolla campanulate, with a longer flowering period; calyx can stay on branches for 1 to 2 months after flowering, which is also beautiful. The bark is thicker and the trunk looks old. The root is Qiu qu and changeable, and the root shape is beautiful. Liudaomu is a good material for making foliage and flowering bonsai because of its lax requirements on soil, easy survival and extensive management.

First, mining six trees can be dug all the year round, the Spring Festival mining is easy to peel, mining and transportation should pay attention to protection. Liudaomu is generally more directly dried, and the pile billet formed after repeated felling or human and animal trampling should be selected when mining. After many times of felling, trampling, mountain torrent washing, stone extrusion of the pile billet are generally twisted trunk, protruding protruding, beautiful root shape, peculiar pile shape. Better piles can be found on both sides of the mountain path, on the edge of the ditch and in the stone crevice. Be careful not to damage the road and the edge of the ditch when picking piles in these places. Pile blanks can carry soil is better, can not carry soil can also survive, to retain more fibrous roots, without soil pile blanks dug up, do not let pile blanks lose water, pile blanks can be placed in shade and damp places on the mountain or shaded by grass and leaves. The stem, branch and root of the pile billet should not be cut at once on the mountain to prevent the necessary branches and roots from being damaged during transportation. The pile billet without soil should pay attention to moisturizing during transportation so as not to make the pile billet lose water. Second, after the billet pile billet is collected, cut the pile billet in place according to the requirements of planting, repair the cut of the stem and branch, seal it with clean yellow mud and wrap it with black plastic film to facilitate wound healing and prevent water loss and cracking during sun exposure in the future. it can also be sealed with wax or other materials. The root incision is smooth and easy to take root. Piles without dirt can be soaked in clean water for several hours before planting. The six trees are not strict with the soil, as long as they are planted with loose and breathable garden soil or cultivated soil. The pile billet can be planted on the ground or potted, which is formed quickly and is easy to manage. Potted plants can be planted in tile pots, cement pots or wooden cases. When planting in a pot, the soil should be inserted, and the roots should not be suspended. Pour enough water to fix the roots at one time, cover and moisturize with transparent plastic bags and piles, and keep them in a place where the wind is facing the sun. The pile billet dug in the hot season should be shaded when planted, the soil should be moisturized, and the pot soil should be kept moist for a long time. After the new buds grow, choose to remove the plastic bags on cloudy and rainy days to practice seedlings. Before the pile billet fully survived, do not put on the roof maintenance, the air humidity on the roof is small, maintenance is difficult, pile billet is easy to die in the sun. Third, after the pruning of the new pile has completely survived, only the excess branches will be removed in the first year, and do not rush to cut them. The branches grow to a certain thickness and can be bent according to the needs of the shape, and then be trimmed until the required branches are long and thick. Six-way wood bonsai is mainly to watch the flowers and leaves and the base, so the shape of six-way wood bonsai is generally pruned according to the natural tree design, the first branch is mainly pruned, the transitional branches are thickened and then pruned, and the second and third branches are pruned mainly. The branches of six trees grow faster, and after the plants are formed, they should be diligently pruned. Cut the new branches that grew in the same year in spring, cut off the steep long branches and the branches that destroyed the tree type in summer, stop cutting the branches that watch flowers in autumn, keep the branches to blossom, and make a heavy cut after flowering in winter. cut off the residual flowers, steep long branches and weak branches, reduce the crown width, and maintain the basic tree type. Fourth, the maintenance of six trees like light, slightly shady, maintenance in the all-sunny place is better. Watering: after the complete survival of the plant, it can be watered according to the method of non-drying and watering thoroughly. It is necessary to increase the amount of water properly during summer and flowering, and insufficient watering during flowering will shorten the flowering time. Fertilization: six trees like fertilizer, usually thin fertilizer can be applied frequently, before and after flowering to appropriately increase the fertilization density, fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, do not fertilize after the plant stops growing in winter. Change the basin: the shaped plant changes the basin once every 2-3 years depending on the number of the basin soil, and the time is chosen in spring and summer. When changing the basin, you should wait for the basin soil to dry a little bit, first, it is good to take off the basin, and the other is that the soil ball is not scattered and operated well. After taking off the basin, shovel off 2/3 of the old soil, cut off the fibrous root near the edge of the basin bottom, replace it with loose and fertile new soil, and pour enough water. Pest control: aphids are the most common pests in Liudaomu. Stone sulfur mixture can be used to control aphids. 2000 times of 3% Quick killing EC or 8000 times of 20% Kangfuduo are sprayed on aphids. The disease is coal fouling. Coal pollution is caused by the excretion of aphids. When coal pollution disease occurs, the diseased leaves are removed quickly, and stone-sulfur and fungicides are sprayed to prevent the spread of the disease. 2 ○○ November 10, 2004 [published in the third issue of Bonsai 2005]
