The production method of Sabina vulgaris bonsai (with cypress bonsai modeling and maintenance)

Ground cypress, also known as cypress, climbing cypress. Because of its short shape, it has become the main variety of bonsai. So, how to make cypress bonsai? Let's take a look at the production method and maintenance of cypress bonsai with the editor of Huinong Network.

1. Material selection

There are two main ways to obtain the materials for making cypress bonsai.

(1) artificial propagation

Striping, cutting or grafting can be used, mainly by cutting.

(2) go to the flower bonsai market to buy

Buy 2-3-year-old seedlings or potted cypress with many years of age and a certain beauty, and then process the shape according to your intention.

2. Bonsai modeling

Ground cypress is suitable to be made into cliff type, oblique dry type, curved dry type, horizontal dry type and so on. Generally speaking, cypress ligation takes about 2 years to be finalized. If the ligature is removed prematurely, the branches will bounce back to their original state; if they are removed too late, they will injure the branches, affect their growth, leave traces, and are not beautiful.

3. Bonsai maintenance

(1) Light

When the sun is not too strong in spring and late autumn, cypress bonsai can be cultivated in places where the light is sufficient and moist. In summer and early autumn, the sun is relatively strong and the temperature is high. Sabina vulgaris bonsai should be placed under a half-shade and half-sun awning. Winter in Beijing area should be moved to low temperature room to survive the winter. If you pour water through the early winter in the south, you can safely survive the winter by burying people in the leeward and sunny places. Jishan Huayao

(2) watering

The cypress likes to be moist and should often water the basin during the growing season, but no water can be accumulated in the basin. In hot weather, in addition to watering to the basin, but also should often sprinkle water to the ground and spray water to branches and leaves, so that the local microclimate has a certain humidity. Water less in winter.

(3) fertilization

In the growing season (except hot summer) about 30 days to apply a rotten thin organic liquid fertilizer. Don't fertilize in winter.

The above is the arrangement of Huinong net Xiaobai about the production method and maintenance of cypress bonsai, have you learned it?

Maintenance methods of Sabina vulgaris bonsai

Ground cypress, also known as cypress, cypress, evergreen shrubs, dense branchlets. Leaves spiny, three leaves alternately whorled. The trunk of young trees is smoother, and the trunk bark becomes rough as the tree grows older.

I. material selection and cultivation

1. The main sources of Sabina vulgaris bonsai materials are cutting propagation and market purchase.

The main results are as follows: (1) from March to April in spring, the top tip of the robust lateral branch, which is about 12 cm long, is selected as the cuttage, the lower branchlet is cut off, and its 1 beat 2 is inserted into the plain sandy soil to keep the soil moist and can take root in about 3 months. Cuttings can get more seedlings at one time, but they are so small that they need to be cultivated for many years before they can be shaped in pots.

(2) in order to obtain the wood with a certain thickness of the trunk as soon as possible, the potted cypress with more than 10 years old can be purchased in the flower market.

2. The seedlings survived by cuttings were planted in pots in the following spring. It can be used as miniature bonsai in about 3 years and miniature bonsai in about 5 years. According to the shape of the young tree, it is necessary to make a preliminary shape in the cultivation. Buy more than 10-year-old potted cypress, make up the composition after watching the tree, cut off the branches that are not needed for modeling, plant them in a more fertile culture soil, and carry out preliminary flat modeling while cultivating. Generally cultivated for 2 to 3 years, medium and large bonsai can be made.

Second, the upper basin shape

1. The bonsai work "Azure Dragon exploring the Sea" (see figure 1), the curved trunk is 23 cm long, the trunk is 2 cm thick, and the drooping branch is 58 cm long. it is shaped by the seedlings of Sabina vulgaris after being cultivated on the balcony for more than 10 years. The branches and leaves of the cypress are luxuriant, and the lower hanging branches are longer, which makes the trunk too thin and not beautiful enough. A piece of rock with a certain height is placed behind the trunk with a relatively beautiful shape. This rock not only makes up for the defect of thin tree trunks, but also makes people feel that Cypress was born on cliffs and cliffs, showing the momentum of "rock waterfalls" in the face of danger.

2. The bonsai work "Spring Shepherd" (see figure 2) is the transformation of the bonsai of "Azure Dragon exploring the Sea" mentioned above. Cut off half the length of the hanging branch of the bonsai "Azure Dragon exploring the sea", then cut off all the twigs on the branch, and then use a knife to remove the bark to expose the xylem, becoming a sacred branch. According to the new idea, the cypress was transplanted into a rectangular shallow purple sand basin, and the twigs left on the cypress were trimmed and bound. After 2 years of cultivation, it became a dry bonsai with a height of 39 cm. After the transformation of the bonsai, most of the branches are new, the color is green, giving people a feeling of prosperity. In order to increase the interest of bonsai appreciation, a suitable-sized cattle riding shepherd boy is placed on the left side of the bonsai, which makes the picture richer and more poetic, and improves the appreciation value of the work.

III. Maintenance and management

When the spring and autumn sun is not too strong, put the cypress bonsai under the sun for maintenance. When the summer weather is hot and hot, the cypress bonsai should be placed in a semi-shaded place or in a shade shed. The winter room temperature is about 5 ℃ to survive the winter safely.

The cypress likes to be wet, but there can be no stagnant water in the basin. In addition to watering the basin, it is also necessary to sprinkle water to the maintenance site appropriately, and less water should be watered in winter. The bonsai of Sabina vulgaris which has been formed should not use too much fertilizer, but should be applied once a month in the growing season. (reporter Ma Wenqi)

The conservation of Sabina vulgaris, also known as Sabina vulgaris and Sabina vulgaris, is an evergreen shrub of Sabina vulgaris, with low plants, no upright trunk, creeping parallel oblique branches or growing close to the ground, and the trunk epidermis is smooth when young, but becomes rough for a period of time. Its branchlets grow densely, leaves spiny, apex pointed, leaves about 0.8 cm long, three interactive whorls. The bonsai made with it has the characteristics of dense branches and leaves, green color, evergreen four seasons, clear hierarchy, chic posture and so on. The propagation of Sabina vulgaris can be done by cutting 1-year-old strong branches for cutting from March to April, or by pressing propagation in the growing season, all of which are easy to survive. The surviving seedlings should be cultivated for 2 to 3 years, and then modeled after they grow to a certain thickness and height. In addition, you can also buy Sabina vulgaris seedlings cultivated for several years on the market to make bonsai, and every spring, summer and autumn, there are Sabina vulgaris seedlings cultivated for several years for sale, and some even go through simple styling, but this modelling is rough and stereotyped. Artistry is not high, so it is necessary to re-shape and create for the second time. Sometimes the garden department carries on the green space transformation, will eliminate some old cypress plants, can choose the one with the best shape to make bonsai. The old piles of bare root Sabina vulgaris or other sources should first be planted in larger tile pots, and erythromycin ointment, burn ointment and other drugs can be smeared on the wounds of thicker branches and roots before planting, so as to avoid bacterial invasion and affect survival, wait for its stability, and grow new roots before modeling. The common types of cypress bonsai are cliff type, waterfront type, horizontal dry type, curved dry type, oblique dry type and other different forms, as well as a variety of birds, animals and other animal forms. For the seedlings that have grown for 2 to 3 years, the branches are soft and can be banded with wire or brown wire first. After the general outline is completed, the branches that are not needed for modeling can be cut off. On the other hand, the old Sabina vulgaris with ideal branch shape should maintain its original shape and bind only the finer branches and new branches. In order to increase the sense of vicissitudes of bonsai, some branches can also be treated as "Shili stem" or "divine branch". The processing should be carried out along its texture, not affectation and loss of natural interest. The canopy can not only be processed into regular clouds, but also can be made into chic natural style. Summer and early autumn are the peak season for the growth of Sabina vulgaris, when the sap flows quickly, it will cause sap overflow during pruning, which is disadvantageous to plant growth, so styling pruning is best carried out in late winter or early spring. The branches of Sabina vulgaris can not be fixed until two years later, and should not be released prematurely, otherwise the branches will rebound and return to their original state. However, the wire should be removed as soon as possible after shaping, so as not to put the wire into the branch skin too deep for too long, which is not only disadvantageous to plant growth, but also leave scars and affect ornamental. After about 2 years of maintenance, the shape of the plant is fixed at the base, and then it can be moved into the ornamental basin. The cypress likes a sunny and warm and humid environment, and it can be maintained in an outdoor sunny place in spring and autumn, while it should be properly shaded in summer to avoid hot sun exposure, which can be placed in a semi-shady place without direct sunlight, or where the sun can be seen in the morning or evening, and where there is no strong light at noon, and pay attention to good ventilation. In winter, the northern region moves into a low temperature room of about 5 ℃, while the south can take a basin and bury it in an outdoor shelter from the wind and the sun to overwinter. The growing period is often watered to keep the soil moist, but there can be no stagnant water in the basin. The cypress likes the moist air, and when the air is dry, it should spray water to the plant and the surrounding ground to form a local humid environment, making the leaf color green and pleasant, full of vitality. After stereotyped juniper bonsai, mature thin liquid fertilizer is applied every 20 days in the growing season, fertilization should not be too much and too often, so as to avoid excessive growth of plants and affect the beauty of the tree shape. Fertilization should be stopped in summer and winter. Cypress bonsai sometimes grow very long branches in maintenance, which should be cut off in time so as not to destroy the beauty of the tree. During the growing period, it often picks the heart to control the extension of branches, promote the growth of lateral branches, and make the branches and leaves short and dense. The bonsai in the vigorous growth period can be turned every 2 to 3 years and can be carried out before sprouting in spring. if the original flowerpot is too small, you can change the larger flowerpot and change the shape according to the need to improve the appreciation of the bonsai and make it look new. The old pile cypress bonsai can be turned once in 3 to 4 years. When turning the pot, the root system should be trimmed, part of the old soil should be removed, and the new culture soil should be replanted. The basin soil is required to be rich in humus, fertile and moist, loose and permeable, and has good drainage. It can be mixed with 2 parts of humus and 1 part of fine sand, and rotten animal horns and bones should be put into the lower part of the flowerpot as base fertilizer. If it is a deeper barrel basin, granular coal ash should also be put at the bottom of the basin to increase air permeability.
