Dongfengju, commonly known as Shanju, belongs to Shanju of Rutaceae. It is an evergreen species. Its leaves are green and do not wither all year round. Shade-tolerant, drought-resistant barren, strong vitality. As a medicinal plant name is wine cake tendon, alias mountain orange tendon, and we usually say mountain orange in the same family different genus, but not Qu Yuan "orange song" described in the "Zeng branch Shan thorn, stop fruit Tuan Xi" orange tree. Because it grows mostly in the gentle slope area near the coastline in the south, in recent years, the status of mountain orange in Lingnan bonsai has risen sharply. Like Podocarpus, it is loved by more and more pot friends. Oranges gradually developed into one of the characteristic tree species commonly used in Lingnan bonsai art forest.

Let's first look at the gold medal works.

Huang Jitao (Leisure Elegance, Mountain Orange 120×120 Gold Award 86.71 points)

This work is no stranger to us, as early as in the hands of Mr. Zhu Bennan had won the gold medal bonsai exhibition.

This is a potted plant with double inclined poles. The work must first be completed in years. Even in Lingnan, mountain orange also has the personality that it is not easy to grow branches, and the branches grow slowly, so it takes a long time for bonsai to form. This work is full of branches and old trees, which cannot be achieved without years and months. Works such as foot fist song dragon claw, tamp the whole tree foundation, size two trunk thickness dependence, high and low phase support, vivid and interesting. The branches of the works are evenly distributed, and the allocation is moderate. Each branch naturally extends, and the branches are deep and straight. The dense branches of the trees are luxuriant and abundant, but there is no miscellaneous feeling, as if everything is born like this, and the branches and branches are explained, and the wonderful skill of Lingnan branch storage can be perfectly embodied.

Little knowledge of mountain oranges:

The best digging time of mountain orange is after the beginning of spring and before Qingming. Mountain orange is afraid of cold. Before the beginning of spring, planting should be kept warm with film bag. After Qingming, the temperature gradually rises, which is unfavorable for survival. The root of Murraya paniculata could not be soaked for a long time, but it could be soaked in rooting agent for 24 hours without harm, but the root formation was rapid and the germination was neat.

Below is a description of the conservation methods of mountain orange bonsai.

Transplanting time of downhill piles: It is suggested to excavate in March-April before and after Qingming. After May, it is not suitable for downhill. High temperature, exposure and other problems are easy to sunburn buds, shrink branches and even die. After digging back, do not rush to plant, can be soaked with rooting agent after planting is conducive to growth. Mountain orange is mainly not rotten roots can basically feed, so early is very important.

Selection of piles: due to the slow growth rate of mountain orange, thick branch support is difficult to cultivate, so when selecting piles, it is best to select stumps with small cross-section.

Cutting piles: cutting piles and killing roots at one time before planting. It is better to balance the roots without occupying the basin. The root mouth is cut with a sharp knife at 45°. Increase the incision area of the root skin to make the root skin of the root mouth smooth as much as possible. The cut of the rod is sealed with self-adhesive tin foil.

Soil: choose coarse river sand soil, also said that sea sand can also (should be related to the original plant with the growing place) did not try not to recommend, fill the root 2-3 cm can be covered, the soil for replanting can be mixed with sediment, pond soil + sand 8:2 ratio, planting, planting good in the light but can shade the place, avoid direct light, affect growth. But it can't be all yin, all yin is easy to lead to rotten roots.

Watering: Mountain orange itself is drought-resistant, many new planting is because too much watering rotten roots lead to plant death, so after planting, spray water soil surface wet can be. Keep the moisture level at about 2 cm above the soil surface. Increase watering frequency after germination. Works shaped about 20 days can be watered once, watering once drenched.

Light: shading in the early stage, when the leaves become thick, dark green and shiny, it means that the new roots of the stumps have grown well. At this time, the light can be strengthened, and the thin fertilizer can be applied. After the growth is stable, it can be routinely managed.

Fertilization: thin fertilizer is applied to spring germination, fertilizer and water are gradually increased after temperature rises, decomposed farm manure + solid cake fertilizer is applied to pot surface, water and fertilizer are applied once a week, which can make new branches grow healthier and thicker more obviously.

other considerations

If the water bud leaves dehydration does not grow should be timely pruning, do not be reluctant. Keep the growth position of three or four leaves. This can reduce dehydration and nutrient loss to not consume nutrients, if the mountain orange blossom and bear fruit will be removed in time.

Pot change: the growth and recovery of mountain orange is slow. Generally, it is necessary to change the ornamental pot after about 3 years of growth recovery. It is beneficial to the rapid recovery of growth in the later stage when the pot is changed. At the same time, pruning and re-cutting the root system shall be carried out. The shallow pot shall be replanted. After about 30 days, the strong buds shall be selected and appropriately shaped.

Pruning: Mountain orange is re-pruned once a year in spring, and the top is picked once as needed after new germination. 15-20 Day or so pick the mouth part will have secondary germination, a year can get 2 speed. Generally in the 6th year, stumps reach the basic shape of 8-section works. After molding, just short cut. The young branches will increase slowly with time, and the works will become more and more vigorous and full, reaching the best viewing period. In addition, after the formation of mountain orange leaves can be retained on the stump for 3 years, good protection, non-essential circumstances do not pick.
