Hanging fruit bonsai for appreciation and planting

People who like flowers and trees and bonsai are all romantic people!

There are some difficulties in hanging fruit bonsai culture. if you choose fruit trees that are native to your area, it may be a lot easier to cultivate. For example, apples are produced in Shandong, so it will be easier to grow apple bonsai and blossom and bear fruit in Shandong. In the south, it becomes very difficult to bear fruit.

Be patient when planting bonsai trees. Although some bonsai trees grow fast, don't expect to harvest fruit in a few months. Some trees may take about five years to bear fruit.

Preparatory work

First of all, choose a kind of tree that is suitable for your local blossom and bear fruit.

You can start with seeds, seedlings or cuttings, but it will be slow.

Seeds and seedlings can be purchased from local nurseries.

Choose a suitable container.

Placing rocks in the soil will force the roots to split. The split root is weak, which helps to miniaturize.

The selected soil can consult the local nursery or Baidu to find out which kind of soil is best for your trees.

Plant trees

Make sure the basin has a drain hole. If not, you can drill some holes yourself and put on a water pad to prevent soil erosion.

Before planting a tree, make sure its roots are not tangled, remove any brown or rotten roots, then find the main root and cut it off. Handle the roots as gently as possible.

Cover the bottom of the pot with a thicker plant, and then put in the wood.

Spread the roots and cover them with more soil until it is flush with the basin.

Pour water thoroughly and let the excess water drain.

Cover the basin soil with moss to achieve an aesthetic effect.

Maintenance

Trees need a lot of light, so make sure they are in a place where there is plenty of light.

When the soil is almost dry, it should be watered.

Initially, trees are allowed to take root in their new environment and grow slightly before starting pruning. This may take several months, but it will greatly improve the overall health of the trees.

Keep the tree in shape with scissors and choose the right time to prune.

Fertilization should be carried out regularly. In winter, use low nitrogen fertilizer. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizers in spring and balanced fertilizers in summer.

Shaping

Reshaping to give the wood a more beautiful appearance.

Use aluminum wire to control the growth direction. The aluminum wire should not be wound too tightly and needs to be replaced regularly as the tree grows.
