Stone-attached bonsai is a typical feature of nature stone trees, cliff upside-down trees, curl trees, stone trees, boulder trees and so on. it is a form of expression that integrates the essence of landscape bonsai and tree stump bonsai. So, how to make stone bonsai?

1. Two prerequisites for cultivating stone-attached bonsai

(1) it is necessary to have tree species with strong vitality suitable for stone-attached growth (commonly used stone-attached tree species are hammer elm, Fujian tea, fine-leaf banyan, June snow, pine, yellow poplar, sparrow plum, etc.), and to cultivate roots of sufficient length.

(2) for jointed stone, Taihu stone, axe split stone, Yingde stone, wind fossil, sand stone, stalactite, Reed stone and so on can be selected.

2. modeling forms and requirements of stone-attached bonsai

(1) cliff type

Cliff pile diameter is generally 2-3cm, attached to the 70-80cm high stone mountain, its shape is mainly dangerous and dynamic. It can be divided into big cliff type, semi-cliff type, horizontal floating type, falling branch type, etc., depending on the posture of the selected stone, the shape of the stump and the standing condition of the root. This kind of bonsai takes a long time to cultivate, and large ones take 4-5 years to take shape. As shown in the picture, it is a cliff-style stone bonsai.

(2) Tree on stone

This form of stone requires a slightly larger lower part, giving people a sense of stability. The focus of modeling lies in the expressive art of trees and roots, using more floating branches to develop the tree potential, and topping requires male and thick. We should seek change on the basis of stability and not be rigid.

(3) Rolling stone type

The root is wrapped obliquely around the stone, like a python fighting for food. Stone requirements are relatively round and thin, can be straight or oblique. We should pay attention to the smooth beauty of the roots. The main point of the creation is to regard the stone as the trunk of a big tree, and the small trees attached to the stone are the tops and side branches of the trunk. In the branch method, the falling branch method and hanging branch method can be used to take the potential and strengthen the unity of opposites of trees and stones.

(4) bouldering

The key point is to show that the roots are attached to the stone like an eagle's claw. The requirement of stone is high and big, so it can be grasped tightly by the root. The posture and shape of the tree are very important. It should have the charm of antiquity, ruggedness, weirdness and Tiancheng, and take the tree as the main body. The curved dry type, oblique dry type and big tree type in the pile scene can all be used in this form. The main point of creation is to grasp the solid mountains and rocks.

(5) dependent type

The performance is a kind of inseparable, tree and stone dependent artistic conception. Stone can be male but show, the main point of modeling is to consider the overall effect, to be male, show, clear and strange.

Stone bonsai can be large or small, easy to take materials, exquisitely carved, Baimei Hengsheng. It can be bought alone or combined in the modern bedroom, and it is deeply loved by the broad masses. It is a kind of bonsai form with great development prospect. The same tree species or different tree species can be divided into groups, and we should pay attention to the thinning, density, gathering and dispersion of the trunk. Sparse, that is, there should be space on the periphery of important and essential branches; dense, that is, tree trunks and roots should be urgent; gathering, that is, branch supports and tops should be clustered to make them airtight; scattered, that is, the independent trunk of the outer edge should have the effect of finishing and watching independently; emptiness and density should complement each other in order to produce the realm of sparse horse racing.

3. Steps of making bonsai with stone

(1) Stone selection

In addition to selecting hard stone with natural voids or natural cracks, soft stone with many holes and good water absorption is also selected, such as sand stone, rupiolite, pumice, seaweed stone and so on. It is best to choose a kind of soft stone with hard surface and loose inside, and the surface texture should be ever-changing.

(2) selecting trees

Trees should be selected with old posture, small leaves and short branches, and their habits should be suitable for stone growth, many whisker roots, drought resistance, pruning resistance and easy shaping. Commonly used are elm, June snow, pine and cypress, water wax, banyan and so on.

(3) Stone processing

Generally requires the formation of solitary stone, plump and stable, simple surface lines. The proportion of tree body and stone is coordinated, and the spirit and rhyme are connected.

(4) planting

It can be divided into two kinds: hole seed method and sticking seed method.

① hole planting method: punch holes in the stone according to the planting location, plant trees in the soil in the holes, and let them grow until the trees and stones are one.

② planting method: the root of the stone is directly attached to the surface of the stone without drilling, and the root is tightly fixed to the stone with brown flakes, making use of the characteristics of the plant root growing to the center of the earth to make it naturally deep into the stone.

Stone-attached bonsai is a kind of bonsai plastic art, in which the trees grow on the stone and the stone trees form a whole. The trees are planted between the stones, and the roots extend the cracks between the people and the stones, and the branches stretch out on the stone caves or clusters on the stones, or under the overhanging stones, or sideways near the stones, so that the strange stones and ancient trees match each other with interest.

Stone-attached bonsai can be divided into two types: water-attached stone and dry-attached stone. Most of the water-attached stones are made of cancellous stones, such as water-absorbing stones, sand stones, etc., to make holes where trees need to be planted, and to use newly formed trees with multiple forms, first introduce the roots into the stone holes, fill the stone holes with broken mud, stick the soil and roots with bamboo poles, spray the soil and stones thoroughly with a spray can, then put them in a shallow water basin and place them in a cool place. Spray water on the stone tree every day, maintain humidity, wait for the tree to sprout, let it see the rising sun, gradually adapt to the sun.

Dry attached stone type, take more hard stone materials, such as Yingde stone (various textures), take the potential shape (see photo), use Fujian tea, elm, Mantianxing and other tree species with long roots, pick off the leaves, remove the soil from the roots, introduce the roots into the stone seams according to the texture of the stone, and then tie them with iron wire rings. In order to prevent root injury, you can first put on a piece of wood covered with rubber and promote the roots to be closer to the stone cracks, and then put the stone trees on the basin soil and bury the fine roots of the trees in the soil. The initial maintenance method is like water-attached stone type, but do not let the western oblique sun shine directly on the stone root system, lest the stone burn the root after absorbing heat.

General banyan trees are suitable for boulder bonsai.

After the stone is attached to the plant, it cannot be changed, so it must be carefully considered before making, and the stone and tree with the right shape must be selected.
