Elm bonsai

The old piles of elm trees that have just been excavated should be planted in plain sand or planted in tile pots to "raise piles". It is generally carried out from late autumn to spring (the survival rate is the highest in the two or three months before sprouting). Before planting, the roots and branches should be pruned first, and the viscous sap often flows out at the cut. If the liquid exudates too much, it will seriously affect the survival rate. Use paint, wax seal in the cut, you can also apply a layer of erythromycin ointment or sulfonamide ointment, and then sprinkle with fine sand. Compact the soil as much as possible after planting, but you don't have to water it. You only need to spray fresh water on the branches twice a day, and then water it again 4 days later. It is forbidden to accumulate water in the soil if it is not dry or watered in the future.

Secondly, according to the basic shape of the old pile, the elm bonsai should be made into different forms of bonsai, such as straight dry type, curved dry type, oblique dry type, water-facing type, cliff type, wind type, jungle type, stone-attached type and so on. Modeling time can be in the dormant period after falling leaves, but also in the growing period, but to avoid the budding period.

The formed elm bonsai is planted in a fine basin such as purple sand basin before germination in spring, and it is suitable to be planted in sandy soil with loose air permeability, good drainage and rich humus. It is usually maintained in a place with good ventilation and sufficient light to keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water. When it is hot and dry in summer, it can sprinkle water on the ground around the plant, but it is not suitable to spray water directly to the leaf surface, so as not to make the leaf bigger and lose its sense of beauty. Apply mature rarefied liquid fertilizer every 20 days or so.
