After more than ten years of transformation, there is a long queue of people who want to buy a hundred-year-old Luohan pine.

If you want to raise a fine bonsai well, you can't raise it for more than ten years. Even if it has an old pile head that is hundreds of years old, it is also a dead wood like waste firewood if it can not be properly taken care of. A Luohan pine Qiu branch started in 2006. At that time, it was visually observed to have a history of more than a hundred years. The curve of its panning is quite strong, and it is now ten years old without losing its magnificent posture. There is an endless stream of people who want to buy bonsai after rebirth!

The original stump of this bonsai is very large, and when I bought it, there were few leaves, few fine roots, and only two thick roots. The experience of raising bonsai told me that the stump could survive. After it was bought at a high price, the stump was transported home for planting, wrapped in gunny bags, wet with water, and kept indoors for half a month. Later, a wooden box was made, and the original pile was transplanted into the coarse sand mixed with loess.

After being planted in a wooden box in this way, it was cultivated for a year, during which there was no fertilizer, and only clear water was poured at ordinary times to ensure sufficient light and suitable temperature. A year later, I finally saw that the stump was alive, and it was only slowly that I began to apply very thin rotten rapeseed cake water. After two years of simple cultivation, the stump survived in this one-meter-long wooden box, and the branches and leaves began to grow luxuriantly and produce a lot of fine roots.

The stump was fed, but the shape of the main root was not very beautiful, so the root of a basin was truncated and too many fine roots were cut at the same time. I don't know how to deal with the lack of roots in the roots of those who like bonsai. After the root is cut off, after careful care for a period of time, the original root is not only fuller, but also no scar. After that, he nurtured patiently in 2023, and the long and thick branches will trim and shape the bonsai, which has been repeated for three or four years, and the bonsai has finally come close to the desired effect.

Half a year later, when the bonsai became more and more robust, it was planted in a purple sand basin, and then began a more elaborate shaping process. It took another three or four years to get such a strange, smooth and wonderful shape. Of course, it still has a long way to go before it finally matures. If everyone who keeps bonsai has been raising a beloved bonsai for more than ten years, then even those who want to buy in line will not change hands.
