Daily maintenance management and pest control knowledge of Tamarix bonsai

Introduction to the knowledge of maintenance and management of Tamarix bonsai

Fertilization: Tamarix likes fertilizer, in addition to winter and plum rain season, can be applied two or three times a month mature cake fertilizer water, oil meal can also be used alone.

Pruning: Tamarix is very resistant to pruning, new buds are unfolded during the growing period, and unnecessary parts and excess buds must be removed. In July and August, the branches and leaves grow luxuriantly, and the branches and leaves that are too dense can be thinned to facilitate ventilation and light. Usually, the top of the branch should be removed more, and the lower part should be removed appropriately. In addition, a plastic pruning can be carried out after defoliation in autumn to before germination in spring.

Turn the basin: the basin needs to be changed once a year, from late February to early April. When changing the basin, the roots are trimmed to replace 1: 2 old soil and cultivate fertile new soil to facilitate growth.

Pest control: the main pests of Tamarix are aphids, which can be sprayed with 40% dimethoate solution.

Place: Tamarix should be placed in a place of ventilation and light and moist air. Able to withstand the cold in winter, you can generally survive the winter outdoors and bury the basin in the sunny place to take shelter from the wind. It is appropriate to keep it in the shade in summer to avoid the hot sun.

Watering: Tamarix likes to be wet, usually to keep the basin soil moisture sufficient, but should not be stagnant water. High temperature in summer should be watered sooner or later, must not make the basin soil dry, otherwise it will cause the branch tip to wither. After defoliation in winter, the basin soil should also be kept moist.

Production and maintenance of Tamarix bonsai

Flower bonsai network guide: today the flower bonsai network editor introduces an article about the production and maintenance of Tamarix bonsai. Let's have a look at it if you like it.

Tamarix, alias Sanchun willow, red willow, sand willow, is a shrub or small tree of the genus Tamarix of Tamarix family. It is one of the main representative tree species of Zhongzhou bonsai. It can grow well under almost any conditions, with strong germination, easy to live and fast to form. The leaf shape is novel, the flower color is beautiful, the florescence is long, has "the flower does not fall" the laudatory name.

The modeling of Tamarix bonsai

1, the hanging branch type should first choose the suitable trunk, such as oblique dry, crooked dry. The second is to cultivate the first, second and third grade main branches. in order to simulate, the main branches should be raised oblique and upward, and the flat branches should be cultivated as few as possible, because weeping willows in nature rarely have large flat branches. After the main branch skeleton is cultivated, when the new buds grow to 3 cm, leave the strong buds needed for modeling and erase all the useless buds. When the remaining buds grow to 15 cm, that is, after the lateral buds are born, cut off 10 cm of the main bud branches and retain only 4 cm and 5 lateral buds. When the retained lateral buds grow to 20-25 cm, remove too weak and too short branches, and cut off too thick, too long and too dense branches, that is, remove the "five over" branches and leave enough suitable branches for modeling. Then pull the branches that are not in place with wire, or use heavy objects to fall for 6 or 10 days to set the shape.

2. Imitation pine and cypress Tamarix not only bark is similar to pine and cypress branches, but also leaves are similar to its leaves. Imitation pine and cypress shape, first of all to choose the trunk is tall and straight, vigorous and aggressive. Then pay attention to the cultivation of flat branches or oblique floating branches, the main branch near the trunk properly leave the length not to do leaves, in order to show that it is old, so that its skeleton is similar to the pine and cypress skeleton. Finally, the production of leaves, each piece of high and low scattered, there are pieces in the film, there are flowers in the flowers, and strive to be similar to the leaves of pine and cypress.

3. The natural style leaves twigs too short, 10 to 15 centimeters. No external force is needed to make it grow naturally, and its branches and leaves droop slightly, which is similar to parabola.

Management and maintenance

1. Potted soil. Tamarix is tolerant to salt and alkali and likes to be moist, so the basin soil should be neutral or saline-alkali, breathable and soft sandy soil, turning the basin, pruning roots and replacing new soil once a year. The new soil is mainly rotten leaf soil and honeycomb cinder, and some fertilizer and lime cinder can be added appropriately.

2. Fertilization. Tamarix has a well-developed root system and likes nitrogen fertilizer, so it is usually necessary to apply light alum fertilizer and water every half a month. When the growth is exuberant, it should be applied more frequently, and when the growth is not good, it should be applied slowly and less. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be applied before defoliation at the end of autumn to promote branch aging and store nutrients and prevent branch shrinkage in winter.

3. Watering. Although Tamarix is drought-resistant, it likes to be moist. The basin soil should be wet rather than dry, and the basin soil should be kept moist frequently.

4. Pruning. Although Tamarix is resistant to pruning, improper pruning is easy to cause shrinking and dead branches, and pruning should be carried out in spring and summer. Autumn pruning, aging of new shoots and insufficient nutrition storage will cause branches to shrink to death after overwintering. Do not prune in winter, prune after sprouting in spring, cut off dead branches, excess branches and thin branches to maintain the tree momentum. In addition, after each flower fade, the residual flowers should be cut off in time.

5. Light. Tamarix is a strong positive tree species, not shade-tolerant. It should be placed in a well-ventilated and sunny place, but it can be shaded slightly when the sun is too strong in summer.

6. Pest control. Tamarix disease is mainly powdery mildew. Pay attention to ventilation and spray methyl topiramate or chlorothalonil once a month to prevent it. The pests of Tamarix are mainly red spiders, scale insects and white lice, which can be controlled by enemy killing, methamidophos, propargite and other drugs.
