What is a rotten bonsai? Introduction to the characteristics of decaying bonsai

As a modeling form of tree bonsai, withered bonsai can have withered tip type, withered branch type and withered type (shelli dry) in practice. Let's learn more about rotten bonsai.

1. Withered tip

Withered tip type is also called withered top type. This kind of bonsai has luxuriant branches and leaves, but the top of the trunk has been bald, like green pines standing tall in the mountains, proud frost fighting snow, there is a tendency to grow old and strong. In ancient temples and temples, old pine and cypress trees are naturally formed. The Japanese call the withered tip the "god of heaven", which is very popular with people. The withered tip modeling program is divided into four steps: pruning, flat binding, peeling, cutting and peeling. According to the number of plants, there are single-dry type, double-dry type, jungle style and so on.

To make withered tip bonsai, the withered shoot must have a certain thickness, and the withered tip is too thin, which is not only not beautiful, but also out of harmony with the branches and leaves below. When the trees grow to a certain thickness, cut off the treetops.

Withered tip features:

The main results are as follows: (1) morphological characteristics: the two trees carry each other, luxuriant branches and leaves, although the crown withered, but still fight against frost and snow, proudly stand tall.

(2) main points of modeling: tree trunks stand upright and branches droop, with the meaning of wind and snow. The withered part of the top of the tree should be natural, and it should be processed into a natural decaying form by peeling, sharpening or truncation and tearing. After the xylem water evaporates, the stone-sulfur mixture should be smeared to prevent decay, which can increase the natural beauty.

(3) matching basin: it should be equipped with shallow round basin.

(4) Note: withered shoots should be made naturally and artificial traces should be avoided. The branches should not be raised, otherwise the strength of the tree will be weakened.

2. Withered branch type

Withered branch characteristics

The main results are as follows: (1) morphological features: luxuriant branches and luxuriant leaves, whirling shadows of trees, and a dead branch protruding from the green cover, showing the charm of honor despite death.

(2) main points of modeling: keep the main and secondary veins of the branches for peeling processing, and the stiff branches should not be made into dead branches, so as not to be unbeautiful and unnatural.

(3) matching basin: shallow oval basin or rectangular basin can be used.

(4) Note: if there is carelessness in the maintenance of the branch support, withering and death, or if the pile billet marries the dead branch and is not suitable for making the branch support, there is no need to rush to cut off the branch support, but can make the dead branch and turn the decay into magic according to the modeling idea.

3. Dry type (Shelly dry)

Dry type, also known as withered peak type, because some trees in the mountains, after a long period of wind, sun, rain, coupled with repeated felling, the trunk gradually becomes decayed and mottled, revealing holes in the wood, bare roots such as claws, like a rugged peak. But there are also some tree trunks and branches that can send out green branches and green leaves, which are full of vitality but not withered, and have the interest of Hu Mu in spring and rejuvenation, giving people a positive spiritual inspiration. The use of the Hugan style basin depends on the specific shape of the tree stump. But there is one thing in common, that is, in order to set off the dry and strange posture, the pot should not be too deep. It is better to use a purple sand basin of medium depth or shallow depth. If it can be equipped with a special pot to make the tree pot integrated, it will make the artistic conception more far-reaching.

Dry type features:

The main results are as follows: (1) morphological features: the tree body is ossified and hard in a large area, showing grayish white, and the lines tend to be in line with the waterline texture of the tree, bend and twist, and drift oblique and extend. The green cover of the middle tail is like a cloud, reflecting each other with Shili Gan, showing a kind of clean and refined spiritual realm.

(2) key points of modeling: pay attention to the dryness of the pile blank itself and its texture trend, supplemented by technical processing and waterline treatment. Generally, the waterline (the cortical belt that keeps the tree alive) can be seen on the viewing surface and extends to the root. The waterline requires bending and walking along the wood texture. The width of the waterline should be determined according to the size of the tree, combined with modeling images and visual aesthetics.

(3) allocation of pots: according to the shape of the tree, it is generally appropriate to match the middle round basin.

(4) precautions: dry texture processing and waterline flow direction should be integrated, and cross-cutting should not be avoided; waterlines should make a detour along the trunk texture to make the lines smooth.

The method of making bonsai with withered and dry tips

Flower Bonsai Network Guide: today, the editor of Flower Bonsai Network shares an article about the method of making bonsai with withered and withered tips. Let's take a look.

Dry type, also known as withered peak type, because some trees in the mountains, after a long period of wind, sun, rain, coupled with repeated felling, the trunk gradually becomes decayed and mottled, revealing holes in the wood, bare roots such as claws, like a rugged peak. But there are also some tree trunks and branches that can send out green branches and green leaves, which are full of vitality but not withered, and have the interest of Hu Mu in spring and rejuvenation, giving people a positive spiritual inspiration.

In part, according to the modeling requirements, remove the appropriate long section of the bark at the top of the tip, then sharpen the peeled top with a knife to make it naturally from thick to thin, and scrape the peeled branches out of wood with a knife and apply erythromycin eye medicine green to prevent bacteria from invading and rotting.

Withered tip type bonsai, whether single plant, double plant, or jungle type, it is better to use rectangular or oval bowls of medium depth. The withered tip of more than two plants should be primary and secondary. If several trees are of the same height, thickness and shape, the bonsai shape is not beautiful enough.

A brief discussion on the cultivation techniques of Bauhinia withered and regurgitated bonsai

Bauhinia is a very good potted plant, but also a good wood, because it is difficult to grow into wood, and the appearance is beautiful. People often use it as a material for making bonsai or as a green tree species. So how can we cultivate a creative bonsai of Bauhinia? The following editor will analyze and analyze with you.

Dry bonsai is a bonsai made of some partially withered, decaying but still partially vital tree parts, such as roots, so that this decaying material can grow new branches and leaves and coruscate new vitality in the bonsai. The image of the old, sick and disabled shows a kind of artistic implication and spirit that has gone through the vicissitudes of life, time is long and tenacious. In bonsai technology, withering and relapse is a special technique, but due to the limitation of materials, such works of art are rare in the market, but the artistic value of good withered bonsai is generally high, and some high-quality works are sought after by people.

(1) Select the material, select one or all of the stems, branches or roots of the Bauhinia tree, and choose to be used according to the potential.

(2) in the modeling, the Bauhinia profile with a certain ornamental shape is made by bending, carving, hollowing out, chiseling and so on, while retaining a small amount of bark.

(3) withering treatment, soak the Bauhinia profile obtained from step (2) in the withered solution for 1-2 hours, pick up the withered base material, and the withered liquid is prepared by stirring and mixing the following materials and proportions:

Starch 10-15g

Vinegar 20ml

Chrysanthemum juice 20-30ml

Humus 5-15g

Humic acid 10-20g

Water 1000ml

Iron powder 3-6g

(4) the withered base material of Bauhinia was transplanted in the flowerpot to grow new branches and leaves to become bonsai.

The modeling work of step (1) should be completed within 24 hours, otherwise the survival rate of resurgence of transplanting substrate will be greatly reduced.

In the modeling operation of step (2), the bark retained by each wood should be continuous from bottom to top, and the area of the bark left should not be less than 5% of the total area of the whole bark.

The withering liquid in step (3) had better be used on the same day to avoid the failure of the liquid.

The ratio of the unit volume of the dead liquid to the total surface of the treated profile is 1-5m2 per 1000ml. With the use of the withering solution, the content of the effective components in the liquid will gradually decrease, and the withering solution needs to be replaced after soaking the profile with a total surface area of about 5 square meters, otherwise the profile can not be withered effectively, affecting the technical effect of withering.

The transplanting of step (4) is conventional cuttage transplanting, as long as the root is kept facing downward and upside down, and must not be inverted, otherwise the substrate can not be germinated again.

The soil used in step (5) is loam, black soil, loess or laterite, but does not include alkaline soil such as yellow soil.

The transplanting of step (6) is carried out in the natural environment, and water is watered every 5 days after transplanting until the substrate grows new buds.

In step (7), the control of the sprouting of the substrate: the parts on the surface of the substrate that need to grow buds are exposed to the air, and the other parts that do not need to grow buds are wrapped in materials such as plastic film, and the film can be removed after the new buds grow. After that, the growth of the sprouts can be effectively controlled by wiping off the new buds on the surface covered by dead wood. Or smear the parts that do not need to grow buds with Vaseline and let the new buds of the substrate regurgitate to form new plants according to people's ideas. Generally, after transplanting for 25 days, the substrate can sprout new buds, and then form bright green branches and leaves, bonsai plants that will blossom and bear fruit.

Bauhinia is a common greening tree species. In the past, people used it to make bonsai by digging out some peculiar shapes of Bauhinia in the forest and selecting the roots and some stems to be transplanted to flowerpots in time. This kind of bonsai is no different from the natural Bauhinia plants seen in the forest, it does not produce a sense of antiquity, has no artistic spirituality, and has no particularly distinct meaning except to add some green to the interior and courtyard. Therefore, the value is very low. On the other hand, the bonsai of this kind of Bauhinia is not batch, it can only be made because of the natural plant shape encountered, and can not form an industry. If it is said that the artificial formation of an industry is bound to destroy the natural ecosystem, it may lead to a devastating blow to the resources of Bauhinia tree species in a certain region.

This bonsai cultivation technique, in the selection experiment of many tree species, found Bauhinia, a specific tree species, as the wood for withering and relapsing to make bonsai. Years of repeated practice has proved that at present, only Bauhinia can maintain a high survival rate of relapse after withering, reaching more than 99%. After carving, piercing and other modeling operations, the base material obviously shows the appearance of death. The survival rate after transplanting flowerpots is very low, mostly less than 15%, and the cost of large-scale development is high. The withered Bauhinia not only has a high survival rate of relapse, but also the material is convenient for modeling operation, and the roots, stems and branches can all be used as the wood of withered modeling, so the utilization rate of Bauhinia tree as bonsai raw material is high, and the cost of bonsai production is low. for some bonsai works of art with high appreciation, it can be standardized and mass produced to maximize economic benefits.

According to the method of the invention, the stem of the wild Bauhinia can be cut into segments, and the length and cutting method of the section can be chosen and decided according to the specific state and creative requirements of the tree stalk and branches, and then carry on the artistic modeling of the piercing material. the modeling method is traditional techniques, such as removing part of the bark, and then carving, bending, piercing, hollowing out and other techniques. Pi wood is made into mottled, broken, local decay, insect erosion, animal gnawing, bird pecking and other trace forms, so that it looks like it has a long age and experienced hardships. In such an operation, we must ensure that the bark of the wood is 5-15% intact, that is, part of the bark is intact to maintain its function of transporting nutrients and water, otherwise it will really die and lose the possibility of relapse. The modeling work of the same wood or the same section of wood had better be completed in one day, so as not to lose too much water and lose its activity, especially in the hot summer.

The molded profiles are soaked in the withering solution in time, and the immersion can be completely immersed in the withering solution or partially immersed in the withering solution, so that all or part of the solution acts on Pi wood, and the soaking time increases or decreases appropriately according to the age and tenderness of Pi wood, generally 1-2 hours, mostly 2 hours as sufficient. After soaking, the surface color of the profile will gradually become jet black, brown black, light black or iron black and other colors, and the profile looks more like the visual effect of old dead trees with vicissitudes, longevity, hardship and tenacity.

The withered wood is called withered substrate, and the withered substrate should be immediately transplanted into a pre-prepared flowerpot and managed on a daily basis, especially watering every 3-5 days to keep the withered substrate moist until the substrate resumes and new buds grow again, which is usually 15-25 days. The survival rate of relapse is more than 99%. Unless the modeling operation is improper, the skin is insufficient or the skin is not up to the requirements, it can grow new buds and become green Bauhinia plants.

Bauhinia withered bonsai has a unique appearance, and the market value is very high, because Bauhinia itself has a very good ornamental value, as long as it is slightly designed into a creative bonsai, the market value is unlimited. You can learn the above Bauhinia withered and relapsed bonsai cultivation techniques.
