Bonsai dew root, dew branch have you ever seen bonsai with exposed seeds?

Unexpectedly, some Taiwan friends say that the planting technology presented by the director of the station recently is not new enough! Qi! Special!

Well, for senior Taiwan friends, the director always has to be square and "right"! After the director patted the head three times as usual, the idea came.

Taiwan friends who grow on the balcony are no longer surprised by potted plants as small as thumbs. What about the small potted plant that "exposes the seeds"?

In this article, the director will talk about the production methods and planting techniques of "seed exposure" potted plants. Again, as the old saying goes, this article is wonderful and can not be missed.

What the director introduced this time is the thumb pot plant in which the seeds of the seedlings are exposed outside the soil and appreciated as part of the tree shape.

This is a unique type of thumb potted plant.

"seed exposed" refers to pot cultivation of thumb.

Production steps

One

Select the starting point where the root is exposed

The observation of the plant determines the starting point of the exposure of the plant root (that is, the dividing line between the part of the plant root exposed outside the soil and the part that is placed in the soil).

The steel wire is wound from the starting point where the root of the plant is exposed.

The director tips: keep a longer steel wire below the starting point to fix the plant when the production is finished, so reserve a longer steel wire.

II.

Bind the root with a steel wire

Use bundled steel wire to bind the root and then set aside.

The zigzag effect of root system is made by bundling steel wire, and the shape is shaped.

Three

Bind a branch with a steel wire

Similar to the treatment of the root, the branches are bound with steel wire.

Tie the steel wire to a slightly lower position of the blade.

Keep the appropriate length of bundled wire, and then use the wire to cut off the excess by mistake.

Finishing and styling

What the roots and branches of a plant look like after being bundled with steel wire.

Bend the roots and branches of the plant according to the steel wire, and adjust the overall shape.

Director Tip: let your feelings determine the way you bend the shape can be freely chosen. But the only thing to pay attention to is that in order to avoid the shift of the center of gravity caused by the tilt of the pot, it is necessary to pay attention to the overall balance on the basis of modeling design.

Wu

Planting into the container

The seedlings after shaping are shown in the picture.

Put the bundled wire reserved at the beginning of winding into the container.

The steel wire will be tied through the hole at the bottom of the container.

Pass the bundled wire through the bottom of the container as shown.

Remember to reconfirm the overall balance between the plant and the container.

Land

Fix the seeds with bundled wire

Bend through the bundled wire at the bottom and roll up.

While adjusting the tree shape, the seedlings are fixed with bundled steel wire.

Cut the excess bundled wire with wire cutters.

Seven

Plant plants

Put in the right amount of soil and compact it with tweezers until the soil is fully filled to a slightly lower edge of the container.

Cymbal

Cover with water moss

Prepare a small amount of chopped water moss soaked in water and cover the soil with water moss.

Jiu

Dotted with moss

Plant moss with tweezers in three different positions on the water moss.

Pick up

Complete

Soak the potted plants in water to make them fully absorb water. Before the seedlings fully fit with the soil, put the potted plants quietly in the semi-shade for 7-10 days and take good care of them by watering every day.

Maintenance essentials

1. Pay attention to prevent the root from drying.

"seed exposure" means that the roots of potted thumbs originally need to be deeply implanted in the soil, so the roots exposed outside the soil are more likely to dry and wither than the branches of plants.

When the climate is relatively dry, it is necessary to put on a plastic bag seal in order to feel more at ease.

two。 Take out the thumb pot every 2 to 3 days and let the steam out.

What is very interesting is that the thumb potted plant we made in this paper is not only a kind of potted plant that can watch the seeds, but also a "root potted plant".

The so-called "root-viewing potted plant" refers to the kind of potted plant that places part of the plant root system outside the soil for people to watch.

The landscape of "root-watching potted plants" is very similar to the landscape of cliffs or coastal plants that have been exposed to wind and rain for a long time. Its most popular pleasure is that the roots of the twists and turns, spiraling and exposed soil match the branches of the plant.
