How to make bauhinia bonsai? Introduction to the production method of Bauhinia bonsai

Vitex negundo is a small deciduous tree or shrub of Verbenaceae, also known as Vitex negundo and Maple. It grows most in the barren mountains and wild lands of the south and north of China, especially in the Yimeng Mountain area of Shandong Province. Bauhinia is light-loving, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, barren-tolerant and adaptable. Branchlets quadrangular, palmately compound. There are five lobules and at least four. Purple flowers. The stump of the old tree is dry, its skin is cracked, its tendons are exposed, and it is vigorous and simple. Old tree pile root often * soil surface, broadcast music such as dragon and snake, hole mottled and immortal, it is appropriate to view the root and the strange pile scene. Today, the editor will introduce to you the method of making bauhinia bonsai.

I. excavation pile

The excavation of bauhinia is usually carried out in March and April in spring. if the roots are kept in place, they can be dug and planted in spring, summer and autumn.

2. Planting

The adaptability of bauhinia is very strong, the requirement to the soil is not strict, potted bauhinia is better with the humus soil with loose texture and good water permeability, and the pot pot planted with soil basin or cement basin is suitable. Before planting, cut off the injured roots and overlong roots, and cut off the steep long branches and overdense branches.

III. Maintenance

Bauhinia is easy to survive, and some old stakes sprout late, but as long as the bark is green, it should be watered as usual, and new green buds will sprout in the rainy season. After survival, the Bauhinia pile had better be kept in the shade for about half a month. Then put it in a ventilated sunny place, where the flood, fertilizer and light make it thrive.

IV. Modelling

Bauhinia laozhang, very ancient, natural Shili dry, hard ossification surface, particularly eye-catching, but not long pitch, large leaves. In order to enhance our strengths and avoid weaknesses, we need to start with the following aspects:

1. Tie scissors

The author's modeling principle for Bauhinia bonsai is rough binding and fine cutting. Before pruning and pruning, according to the idea of different pile shapes, cut off all the waste branches (overlapping branches, cross branches, head-on branches, whorled branches, etc.) and carry out flat binding according to different branches. Pay attention to two points: first, do not wait for the branches to grow too thick, and the bauhinia branches are too coarse and brittle and easy to break; second, do not touch the bud eyes when flat binding, otherwise, there will be a lack of branches and leaves in the future to form a "slippery dry". After one or two years, after the branches are in harmony with the thickness of the trunk, leave one or two branches and move the first shearing, and the secondary and tertiary branches should be gradually changed in thickness, and the transition will be natural.

2. Shrinking leaves

In order to reduce the leaves of bauhinia, three methods can be used:

(1) picking leaves. It is usually held in early summer, early autumn or before the exhibition. When picking leaves, do not leave any leaves (be careful not to remove the leaf buds at the root of the petiole). After picking leaves, we should appropriately strengthen fertilizer and water management without shading. New leaves will be issued in about half a month, and the new leaves are only 1/2 of the size of the original leaves.

(2) topping

Topping is to remove the new buds from the main branch. In the growing period of Bauhinia bonsai, you should often hit the top and pick the heart.

(3) controlling fertilizer and water

The so-called fertilizer control means that the formed bauhinia bonsai is given only water but not "soup" before the exhibition or during the viewing period. At the same time, watering should also be controlled so that the basin soil is semi-wet and semi-dry.

The above measures can make Bauhinia bonsai branches small and dense leaves, beautiful tree shape, fewer diseases and insect pests, occasional aphids, can be killed by Didi solution.

Conclusion: the above is the introduction of the production method of Bauhinia bonsai. I hope it will be helpful to you.
