Before making bonsai, we should choose suitable boxwood seedlings, it is suggested that we can choose cutting propagation or grafting propagation, sowing propagation of boxwood, regardless of the tree type, and the disease resistance of the plant is poor, which will affect the production of bonsai.

Boxwood, which is used to make bonsai, is usually more than 5 years old, and you can also directly choose the stump of the old tree. Trim the branches of Populus tomentosa slightly, and dig out the soil around the boxwood as far as possible when selecting plants. The whole rhizome of Populus tomentosa only needs to be about 5 cm smaller than the flowerpot.
