Modeling method of Narcissus Bonsai

1. Pot culture: it can be divided into soil cultivation, sand cultivation and water cultivation, and 40 or 50 villages with smaller bulbs can be selected (the main bulb diameter is below 22cm). When planting flower balls without carving, 2-5 in each basin, planted in the soil or sand, often pour clear water, keep moist, ensure adequate sunshine, the temperature is kept at about 15 degrees Celsius, after 35-45 days, the leaves are green, and the kiosks bloom; if raised with water, first protect the mud from the flower head and clean the withered roots, peel off the brown skin of the bulb, put it vertically into the basin, feed it with clean water, and change the water every 2 days to prevent rotting roots. The bottom of the basin is covered with fine sand or Yuhua stone, small white stone, shells and so on, to stabilize the roots and embellish beauty. Cultivated by this method, its plant type is upright and towering, robust and luxuriant, with a long flowering period and a penholder shape, so it is called "penholder daffodil" or "enterprise daffodil".

2, engraving water education: the engraved flower bulb due to the loss of part of the bulb, nutrition loss, if the use of small balls, lack of nutrients, will cause not flowering or florescence shortened, affecting its ornamental value, so the general carving bouquet should choose more than 30 villages (the main ball girth is above 22cm). Carving hydroeducation is a unique method in flower cultivation modeling, and it is a unique ornamental art of Zhangzhou narcissus. According to the different shapes of bulbs and the author's intention, careful conception, ingenious effort, carving layout, meticulous water culture and gradual trimming, it can become a beautiful work of art full of variety and vitality. Such as: "Golden Rooster announces dawn", "flower basket offers longevity", "jade pot Shengjin", "Azure Dragon spits beads" and so on.

3. Mosaic composition: with several or dozens or even hundreds of different varieties, bulbs with the same flower shape, which are carved and cultivated, are fixed on the pre-designed pattern frame one by one, which can be spliced into a variety of large-scale artistic models. such as: "Narcissus Tower", "galloping Horse", "Green Dragon playing Pearl" and so on. This method has the advantages of novel shape, strong three-dimensional sense, majestic momentum and fragrance, which is suitable for flower shows and public furnishings.

DIY Narcissus bonsai auspicious daffodils

It is said that daffodils are the incarnation of Emperor Yao's daughter E Huang and Nu Ying. They both married Shun, their elder sister is the queen, and their younger sister is the imperial concubine. Shun died during his tour to the south, and the Emperor E and Nu Ying both died in love in the Xiangjiang River. God had mercy on the two and turned their souls into riverside daffodils, and they also became the flower gods of the December daffodils. Cao Zhi's Fu of the God of Luo and the Fu before and after the daffodils in the Song Dynasty all praised daffodils. If we sum up their descriptions, the beauty of daffodils is "purity".

Although this is a legend, daffodils are among the top ten famous flowers in China, and they are invited by Chinese folk for the New year, which means to ward off evil spirits and eliminate filth, implying good luck for the family. Narcissus alias Jinzhan Silver platform, flowers, such as its name, green skirt, green belt, graceful and graceful on the Qingbo, plain and clean flowers are otherworldly, elegant and fragrant, just like Lingbo fairies treading on the water. It is said that "the number of daffodils in the world is Zhangzhou", so most of the daffodils in Guangzhou come from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and the more popular daffodil carving skills also come from this place.

I'm afraid it's a little difficult to learn to carve. However, it is relatively simple to DIY a Narcissus bonsai as a New year flower. Let's get started!

Flowers: several daffodils, open flowerpots, white stones, colored glass beads, buckets, clear water.

DIY steps: 1. Wash the flowerpot clean and set aside, the flowerpot had better be large caliber, shallow and deep.

two。 The number of daffodils depends on the size of the flowerpot. If you want to have a shape, at least 5 or more.

3. Single valve is easy to solve, peel off the blackened dead skin. If it is multi-petal (the reporter chose and bought the daffodils cultivated by the old master in Zhangzhou, which generally reach more than 8), you can take an even number, break off the front and rear excess lobes, and remove the dead skin and set aside.

4. Wash the white stones with clean water and lay a thin layer on the bottom of the basin.

5. Four flat daffodils were implanted into the basin along the edge of the basin.

6. A daffodil ball implanted in the center

7. Fill it with water

8. Finally, with stained glass beads, a beautiful Narcissus bonsai New year flower is born.

Reporter's notes

DIY Narcissus bonsai has three difficulties. First of all, the choice of flowerpots, if it is Chinese style, there are many on the market, but if you want to choose modern simple style, only glass pots, and large-caliber daffodils pots are difficult to find. As for the European style, there doesn't seem to be any. It is said that daffodils have long been famous all over the world, but there are no European-style daffodils pots in Guangzhou. I wonder if Europeans want to put a pot of daffodils bonsai at home. What style of flowerpots do they use? I'm looking forward to it.

The second is the choice of bouquet. Daffodils can be divided into multi-petal and single-petal, and industry experts warn that many daffodils that look beautiful on the market cannot actually blossom. When choosing and buying, gently pinch the joint between the rhizome and the foliage, and those with a sense of bulging will generally blossom.

Finally, there is styling. According to the master's skills, the wide, flat, fan-shaped ones are suitable to be placed on the side, and the daffodils in the middle had better be slightly round, and the height is higher than the surrounding daffodils. If you have skills, it is not difficult to put on a rising pose.

How to carve Zhangzhou Narcissus Ball

Narcissus is a bulb flower, the bulb root has stored a lot of nutrients and completed flower bud differentiation, timely water culture to meet certain environmental conditions can make Narcissus pot blossom. The purpose of the carving of daffodils is to dwarf, bend, orient and shape the leaves and flowers of daffodils by knife carving or other means, grow vertically or horizontally, and maintain and fix the bulb or lateral corm according to the modeling requirements. Next, the editor will take Zhangzhou daffodils as an example to introduce the unique carving techniques of daffodils.

First, it is the choice of Huatou:

(1), fixed shape to choose flower head: that is, we determine a certain shape, and then go to choose daffodil head. This generally refers to the master who has mastered the art of daffodils carving. In order to participate in the competition or to hold an exhibition, it is necessary to have a specific shape, so it is necessary to choose a flower head with a basic shape in order to carve a satisfactory work. For example, if you want to create a festive flower basket, you must choose the flower head with symmetrical foot buds, otherwise, where will the handle of the flower basket come from? If you want to create mandarin ducks playing in the water, you must choose a small spherical foot bud of the right size. Only after carving can a matching figure be cultivated. The shape of peach and plum for spring is to choose a large and small bulb growing on a bulb plate, the big one is peach and the small one is plum. Without these basic shapes, no matter how good the carving technology is, it is difficult to create lifelike works. To borrow an old saying, "a skillful housewife cannot make bricks without rice". The basic elements are: imagine the basic outline of the work you want to create, so that the structure of the bulb or bulb can basically match it. Just like a painter painting, the outline is always shaped in the first few strokes, and then played in the details. After the sculpture and modeling is the play of the details, the combination of the two can achieve accurate contours and rich details. A work can perfectly show the artistic conception that the creator wants to express, and it may be a work with life.

(2) look at the fixed shape of the flower head: this is what you encounter when watching at home. You only have a few daffodils from your distant relatives and friends, or a small amount of flower heads from your own leisure flower market. At this time, you can't create whatever you want. But the principle is still the same. Look at the daffodil head in your hand and imagine what its basic outline looks like. In fact, the carving of daffodils is so magical, similar to traditional Chinese painting, pay attention to artistic conception, whether it is characters or landscapes, do not seek lifelike appearance, resemblance is more important. Everything is between elephant and non-elephant, which is the charm of daffodil carving art. Specific flower head selection examples are: symmetrical bulb foot buds, suitable for carving into flower baskets, faucets, double snakes, and so on. Asymmetrical can imitate birds and animals, landscape bonsai. Use your imagination and you can find the right look. Really can not think of, as long as carved crab claw daffodils, natural placement, appropriate bowl loading, is also a very good natural scenery.

Second, the carving tools of daffodils:

As the saying goes, "if you want to do good work, you must first sharpen its tools." A good daffodil carving knife makes it easy to carve daffodils. The tools used to carve daffodils vary from place to place, but they are more or less the same. The traditional carving knives in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province can be divided into:

(1) the main cutter: the length of the knife is 18 cm, of which the handle is 10 cm, the edge is 8 cm, the shape of the knife is long triangle, the widest is 1.5 cm, the blade is straight, and the back is 3 mm thick. Used to lift the knife and open the lid, it is the most basic daffodil carving knife, and some masters can complete all the carving tasks with this knife.

(2) oblique carving knife: it is the main tool added to the fine carving with the traditional carving knife. Used for peeling, cutting, scraping, shoveling and shaping and other processes.

(3) right-angle cutting knife: generally made by the sculptor himself, the end of 2mm steel plate is sharpened and bent into a right angle, which is used to dig holes, and it is very convenient to carve similar teapots and gourds.

(4) small scissors: the ideal is medical stainless steel scissors. The blade is long and thin, with a pair of pointed and curved scissors. Used for trimming leaves and scales. Apply when cooperating with carving. In the process of water culture, cut off moldy scales, leaves, roots, stamens and so on.

(5) tweezers: a tip and an elbow, medical stainless steel tweezers are ideal. Used for cleaning carved fragments, finishing leaves, pedicels, stamens, with deep carving and cotton cover, cleaning.

Third, the basic steps of daffodil carving:

(1) purify the flower ball: break off the root protection mud, use the bamboo board to remove the withered root and rotten impurities, be careful not to hurt the bulb, peel off the brown dry outer bulb skin of the flower ball, so that it can be cut with a knife.

(2) cutting scales: in the past, it was called opening the lid, which means cutting off about half of the bulbs longitudinally to expose the bulb buds. The method is to cut an arc 1 cm upward along the root disc with a cutter, and then peel off the scales layer by layer inside the bulb with a knife along the line until all the buds are exposed. The technique is that when the knife cuts in, the index finger presses on the scale to follow up, and when exiting, the scale is taken out together. The bulb can only be cut in half.

(3) sparse scales: in order to facilitate the carving of leaves and pedicels, cut off the scales sandwiched between the buds.

(4) peeling off the bracts: the bracts are plucked from the end of the bud and then peeled off toward the base.

(5) cutting and deleting the leaf edge: according to the modeling requirements, determine the position and width of the cutting leaf, first open all openings at the end of the leaf, and then peel along the leaf edge to the base. Peel the leaves carefully and do not damage the bud.

(6) carving pedicels: according to the modeling needs, determine the amount and orientation of the cut pedicels, cutting from the end of the pedicel to the base. If you need to cut to the bulb, you can also use a sharp triangular knife to pierce the bulb along the thin skin of the pedicel. If carved in November to December, the pedicel has not yet grown, it is difficult to accurately cut, it is possible to scrape off the tender pedicel, the bulb can be immersed in water to sprout, pedicel expansion and then cut.

(7) carving lateral buds: lateral buds are mostly on both sides of the mother bulb, some with flowers and some without flowers. According to the proposed shape, or do not carve the handle and bird head of the flower basket, or slightly carve the tail of the rooster or goldfish, you can also carve it into a crab foot shape and shape it into other shapes.

(8) trimming the cutting surface: trimming all the incisions, not only neatly and beautifully, but also can prevent debris and residue from mildew and pollution of the bouquet.

(9) Special knife methods:

1, vertical carving: cut vertically from the bulb directly with a carving knife, which is generally used in a large number of hydroponics. This carving only removes the constraint of the bulb on the bud and plays a role in promoting growth and dwarfing. When it begins to grow up, it looks a bit like a penguin, so it is called "Pengtou Narcissus".

2. Oblique engraving: the basic diagonal engraving is similar to that of "Qiantou Narcissus". It is also a carving method used by growers who cultivate a lot of water or do not want to use too much work. The method is to pull a knife from both sides of the bulb to each side to let the flower buds grow smoothly.

3, dig cup: remove the upper part of the daffodil bulb, retain the flower bud, the outer two layers of scales retain, the inner scale hollowed out to form a cup, the flower bud according to the above carved leaf margin pedicel, grow into a later shape such as silver cup flowering.

4, hollowing out: in order to retain the basic bulb shape, do not destroy the outside of the bulb, use special tools to hollow out the inner scales, release the flower buds, and let the flowers accompany the bulbs around. This kind of knife method is needed in "peach and plum fighting for spring", "gourd showing auspiciousness" and so on.

Fourth, the water culture of carving daffodils:

The carving process of daffodils has the so-called "three minutes, seven minutes", which shows that cultivation is more important than sculpture. The aquaculture of daffodils, also known as immersion, is described below:

(1) immersion: after the daffodil head is carved and slightly air-dried, the flower head can be immersed in water and bleached. However, sometimes for the neat florescence, coupled with the lack of artificial, there are also carved daffodils put aside for a few days together like water, because once the daffodils bloom into the water, the flowering process can not be stopped. If you want to have a neat florescence, you need to enter the water at the same time. The water quality of soaking is preferably natural spring water, and a small amount of water in urban life can be raised with drinking mineral water. Tap water contains bleach, which should be shelved the next day before use. (if the dwarfing treatment is also carried out at this time: soak the daffodils into a solution according to the instructions and use it as a daffodil soaking solution, which is generally matched by the dwarfing agent dealers). After carving, the daffodil head is soaked and rinsed for two days. When soaking, the flower head is carved face down and immersed in water, and the flower head is pressed lightly with heavy objects to prevent floating. After soaking for a day, take out the flower head and wash off the mucus one by one. When washing, you can hold the flower head by hand, gently wash the carved side with water, or rinse the tap water with appropriate water pressure to clean the mucus, remove the residual sludge, residual roots and withered skin of the flower head, and then soak the flower head in clean water. On the second day of soaking, the flower head still has mucus to flow out, which needs to be washed by this method. The purpose of soaking is to prevent rotting flower heads from discoloration. The transparent mucus in the daffodil bulb contains certain nutrients and is easy to be moldy by fungi; if the mucus is not washed, it will stick to the engraved flower head, and the sunburn fungus will make the white flower head brown and black.

After the flower head is picked up, it is best to spray it with clean water and touch the wound with your fingers (because the mucus is transparent and imperceptible). If there is mucus along it, you can wash it by hand. The washed flower head, soaked in water for 2 days, has absorbed enough water and stimulated root germination. In order to protect the root of the flower head from sun yellowing, make it grow quickly and induce root development, apply cotton (skimmed cotton, commonly known as medicinal cotton), or gauze (skimmed gauze) to cover the bulb disc below the bulb incision; and hang cotton or gauze into the water to absorb water for root absorption and heat preservation.

Some shapes, such as "Yuxiang Tuobao", the flower heads need to be raised by inverted water, and the cotton should be covered in the depression of the bulb above, wrapping the roots into the water; if the shape is mainly ornamental bulbs, such as "peach and plum fighting for spring", in order to keep the bulbs white, it can be covered with thin cotton or gauze to avoid yellowing in the sun.

(2), put on the pot: after the daffodil head is carved, it will be soaked, washed and covered with cotton. A large number of carvings can first be raised with a thick bowl for basin water, or with a larger area of large basins or square plates of water, and now many commercial water ones are nailed into a box with boards 10 centimeters wide, covered with plastic film, which can be big or small according to needs. wait until the daffodils are ready to bloom and then move the essence on the basin or sell it. If the quantity is small, you can raise it in fine basin water directly. The selection of pots should be in harmony with the shape, so as to meet the requirements of "matching pots". For example, the shape of "flower blue" should use daffodils in the shape of round or flowerpot, while that of "Shuangfeng Chaoyang" should be square or oval; the ornamental root system should be mainly transparent long tube or leaning on the rockery. In short, the choice of the basin should be coordinated with the shape.

(3) placement: in general, the pot placement of daffodils is based on upside-down and upright placement. The so-called "upside-down" means that the wound is facing the sky and the root is facing forward, and "vertical" is that the wound is facing forward and the root is facing down, that is, it is also "upright". Upside down is suitable for "crab claw daffodils"; vertical placement is suitable for "jade pot spring" and so on.

The placement method of special shape can be "inverted" and "inverted" on the basin. "inverted" is the placement of the leaf body under, the root facing down, and the root facing upside down, such as the shape of "Yuxiang Tuobao", which mainly highlights the lifelike shape of the bulb and the lateral bulb. "inverted" means "inverted" wound facing down, uninjured bulb facing up, such as "crab horizontal", complete round scales facing up. Symbolizes the crab's "iron armor", while the flower pavilion, the leaves curl around, similar to crab claws.

However, where the wound is immersed in water, the scape and bulb should be prevented from mildew. The method can put the flower head high above the water surface, and only let the root droop and absorb water. If necessary, the flower head can also be disinfected with medicine after carving. Most of the daffodils are cultivated in upside-down and upper pots, and the position does not change from beginning to end. However, some shapes need to be transformed in the culture, such as elephant type and crab type, generally raised in upside-down water for 7 days, waiting for the bud to curl up freely, and can avoid the bud (especially the bud) early after the initial entry of the water is easy to mildew.

After daffodils carving, pot management is very important, because the bulbs are carved, leaves, scape peduncles, bulbs are cut, wound evaporation is large and easy to infection, coupled with new roots and growth, the need for heat preservation, at first can be placed in the shade for 3 days, plants often spray water, wait for wound healing, new roots grow out after moving to a place full of sunshine, full photosynthesis, so that the leaves turn green, will not grow in vain, is conducive to the fixation of modeling.

(4) Pipe water: pour all the water into fresh water every day and soak it under the wound. Under southern climatic conditions, the Spring Festival flowers are generally used for about 30 days from carving to flowering. In the first two weeks, the water is changed once a day and sprayed with clear water twice. In the last two weeks, the water is changed every two days. When the temperature is high, add a change of water and spray water for 1 or 2 times.

(5) Illumination: daffodils need plenty of light to grow, thrive and grow tall and straight under appropriate light. However, in the early stage of water culture, because the bulb buds have just been exposed, they are too young to withstand the exposure of strong light, so in the early stage of potting, they have to stay away from the light for a few days, and wait for the leaves to turn green before they slowly receive full-day light. Home water culture is best to the south window. Large area hydroponics can be maintained in the greenhouse.

(6) temperature: when cultivating in the south, we should pay attention to the high temperature, while in the north, it is just the opposite. Although the temperature for the growth of daffodils is between 4 and 25 degrees, the temperature between 10 and 18 degrees is the most suitable for the growth of daffodils. Proper low temperature can prolong the flowering period. Narcissus is a cold plant, not afraid of the cold, but after carving the flower head, damage half or even more than half, insufficient nutrition, callus and fragile, can not withstand frostbite, in the north should pay attention to open-air freezing. The most suitable temperature is 10Mui 18 degrees.

(7) the florescence is prolonged: the daffodils are in full bloom and wither from the beginning, which can last for 15 days. If the conditioning is poor, and the temperature is high, the florescence is shorter, the florescence is shorter, so that the ornamental low value is affected. How to prolong the flowering period and make the flowers bloom more luxuriantly? there are such records in Flower Mirror and Guang Qun Fang Spectrum. "Yu (Yu Ruoying) begged friends for three or four stalks to buy Zhai's head every year, and incense can be planted for ten days." he also said, "the forest planted by gardeners in Jinjiang, Hangzhou, grows luxuriantly with soil near salt and brine," and "the bottle should be raised in salt water." The specific method is: put a little salt in the flowerpot before the bud breaks, and the flowering period can be extended by 2 Mel for 3 days.

Fifth, carve the shape of daffodils:

Carving daffodils is actually made by using the force of nature and a small amount of artificial embellishment, which are described below:

(1) the force of nature: the reason why the art of daffodils carving is magical is that in the excellent works formed, the sculptor makes use of the force of nature to guide him according to the situation according to the predetermined conception, and there is almost no trace of artificial carving, and everything is natural. Very little artificial twist. Excellent art shaping of daffodils should be carried out by making use of the power of nature as far as possible. One of the so-called forces of nature is the use of unbalanced growth after scratching to bend and shorten pedicels and leaves. The second is the growth characteristics of the aboveground part of the plant, and the third is the downward growth characteristics of the root, coupled with the different effects of the intensity of light on the root, stem, and also, if you make proper use of it, you can get what you want. Here is a brief description of the role of these forces in the artistic modeling of daffodils:

1. In the basic steps of daffodil carving in the third section, "cutting the leaf edge" is to cut the leaf edge on one side to make it grow stagnant, the other side grows normally, and the unbalanced growth on both sides makes the leaf curl. In the same way, "carving pedicels" has the effect of bending and shortening pedicels. Through appropriate depth and shallow cutting, we can control the degree of bending and the length of flowers and leaves, and we can reasonably manipulate the position of flowers and leaves, and master the right balance, just like the painter's brush in the hands of the painter.

2. The background of plant growth is also the power that can be used in the shape of daffodils. For the manipulation of a large number of flowers and leaves, the efficiency is relatively high. The method of placing the bulb has been discussed before. By placing the bulb position, or leaning, or standing, or oblique, you can easily manipulate the direction of all flowers and leaves. For example, the beautiful tail of a peacock, the beautiful tail of a rooster and the handle of a flower basket all need to be properly placed in order to achieve their wishes.

3. The geotropism of the root can also be induced to bend and twist, and the bonsai attached to the water and stone is like a mountain waterfall.

4. with the effect of light, strong light can dwarf the plant and make the plant strong and straight. Proper shading can make the roots of daffodils dense and snow-white. The works of appreciating the roots will plant the bulbs in the grain husk carbon ash to produce roots as white as snow.

(2) artificial embellishment:

Although the art of daffodils carving pays attention to natural beauty, appropriate artificial embellishment can play the role of the finishing touch. Flower basket handle can not become flower blue without binding, goldfish can not become goldfish without finishing touch, it is also essential to use gadgets to beautify the eyes, tiara and clothing of pictographic works. Commonly used buttons, pins, headgear, etc., can also be made by yourself, give full play to your imagination, and make use of all the gadgets that can be used. the principle is to use boldly as long as it adds color to the work, and try to avoid icing on the cake.

Six: classification of art sculptures of daffodils:

(1) single-headed daffodils: the works are carved with a single daffodil head, which can only be tied, tied, not connected, and other flower heads. In general, birds and animals can be carved by a single person, such as "A singing Rooster", "Peacock opening screen" and so on.

(2) Multi-grain combination: usually several daffodils are carved and formed separately, and then combined. For example, "jade pot Shengjin" is composed of a teapot and several teacups. "mandarin duck playing in the water" is made up of two matching waterbirds.

(3) with bonsai: take "crab claw daffodil" as the basic shape, after a certain change in the position, matched with water and stone bonsai, strange stone, is a very good daffodil bonsai.

(4) Mosaic composition: with dozens or even hundreds of different varieties, the flower-shaped bulbs are cultivated by carving and fixed on the pre-designed pattern frame one by one, which can be spliced into a variety of large-scale artistic shapes, such as "Narcissus Tower", "galloping Horse", "Green Dragon playing Pearl" and so on. This method has the advantages of novel shape, strong three-dimensional sense, majestic momentum and fragrance, which is suitable for flower shows and public furnishings. The basic skeleton is steel, the outside is bound with water-absorbing material, and the root of daffodils fixed on it can go down and blossom well.

Conclusion: the above is the introduction of daffodil ball carving technology, hoping to be helpful to the majority of flower friends.
