The method of making bonsai of Yushu

Small leaf Yushu tree beautiful, dense leaves twigs, trunk flexibility, stems soft branches, Cangzhi Cui Ye, suitable for making bonsai. The bonsai cultivated with it is vigorous and quaint, and has unique charm.

Cuttage propagation was adopted in the cultivation of small leaf Yushu plants. Growing season cut 10 cm long branches, drying for a long time, to be cut dry inserted into the sand. Do not need a lot of watering, rooting is easy, at temperatures above 20℃, Qiao days or so can root. Rooting into seedlings can be planted directly on the pot, pot soil with fertilizer plus the same amount of coarse sand, in order to facilitate water permeability. The growth season appropriate topdressing liquid fertilizer, in order to make it as soon as possible to achieve the bonsai modeling needs. When it reaches a certain specification, it can be simplified according to its own modeling intention, deliberately cultivated, so that the cultivation of tree potential in the early stage becomes the basis of post-production modeling.

The small leaves used to make bonsai are all cuttings, strictly speaking, their modeling should be carried out in the process of cultivating pile materials. The plasticity of "pile material" is strong, suitable for making small and medium-sized bonsai. Can draw lessons from the modeling techniques of bonsai trees to shape. Because of its relatively sparse branches and leaves, soft stems and branches, full of toughness, round green leaves, sparse branches, suitable for the performance of vigorous trees sparse shadow horizontal oblique posture. It is not suitable to show the state of the wilderness ancient trees with beautiful crown, lush and dense shade. The shape of bonsai should be completed by cutting and keeping branches reasonably to cultivate the skeleton of trees, and then bending branches and tying pieces of branches and leaves with winding. Bonsai suitable for small leaf Yushu shape has straight dry type, inclined dry type, curved dry type, hanging type and root lifting type. In addition, it can also be made into mixed planting type and attached stone type. Specifically speaking, when putting on the pot, we should first take the potential according to the material, carry out shaping pruning, reserve the required branches and necessary bud eyes for modeling. At the same time, according to the modeling needs to determine the planting method in the pot (for straight or oblique or inclined planting, but also for root lifting treatment), and then planted in the maintenance pot. After a period of cultivation, into the Panza stage. Panza to aluminum wire is good, in the growing season, as long as the branch thickness of 0.5 cm can be achieved. Water should be controlled before winding, and the drier the leaves are, the better, to increase the flexibility of the branches and reduce brittleness. When winding, it should be closely attached to the bark at an angle of 45 degrees, so as not to damage the branches and leaves. After the metal wire is wound, the branches are bent with both hands and gently twisted in the winding direction to achieve the modeling requirements.

Through the above links, a pot of small-leaf Yushu bonsai has been "embryonic". After that, further strengthen the cultivation of local branches and overall crown, and constantly improve the modeling.

Conservation and management of small leaves Yushu likes sunshine, warm and dry, not suitable for direct sunlight, drought tolerance and fear of waterlogging, few diseases and insect pests, simple and extensive cultivation management. It can be placed indoors for a long time, but pay attention to ventilation and light transmission. Summer to appropriate shade, winter to move greenhouse maintenance. Liquid fertilizer can be applied appropriately during the growing season. Daily watering should be done thoroughly before watering, mainly to buckle water, to prevent excessive growth of stems and leaves, to maintain tree shape. Change pots every 3 - 4 years.
