When a novice buys plant pile embryo, how to distinguish bonsai between raw pile and ripe pile?

Bonsai is one of the traditional Chinese arts, which is deeply loved by people by putting trees, sand and stones in nature into an ornamental basin and seeing the whole through a small part. Potted friends who have bought plant pile embryos should have heard of the raw and cooked piles of bonsai. As we all know, the survival rate of mature piles is much higher than that of raw piles. When a novice buys a plant pile embryo, how to distinguish between a bonsai pile and a cooked pile? let's take a closer look.

There are two kinds of piles, one is just dug from the mountain garden, this kind of billet is called downhill pile, downhill pile is often well-developed root system in the original place, mining is necessary to cut off most of the root system, after excavation in order to ensure its survival, and the subsequent modeling, and cut off most of the branches. The survival rate of this kind of green wood which has not been artificially cultured can not be guaranteed in the planting process.

The other is that after excavation and transplantation, after a period of artificial maintenance, the truncated root wound begins to heal, some new roots grow out, and new leaves grow out of the truncated branches. This is a harbinger of the initial survival of the downhill pile. But at this time, the pile is still like a newborn baby, relatively delicate, the growth is not stable. Once transplant, there is still a great risk of dead pile, so this kind of blank is also a raw pile.

Mature pile means that the green wood of bonsai has been cultivated in the pile period, the new root system has been sufficient for the nutrition supply of the plant itself, the root stem section has healed, the new branches are luxuriant, and some new branches can be lignified. Transplantation on the basin can also grow well.

Novice basin friends in the purchase of material, the material is often wrapped in the root of the earth ball or on the basin. Some unscrupulous businessmen often use raw piles to plant in pots or soil balls and pretend to be ripe stakes. We can't see the state of plant roots and cultivate them with cooked stakes, resulting in losses.

The following editor will introduce how to see which kind of mature pile is from the branches and leaves of the plant:

1. Looking at the pole, it was mentioned earlier that part of the branches will be cut off after the pile goes down the hill in order to ensure the survival rate and the subsequent modeling trend. After breeding, the plant section will slowly heal, and healing tissue will grow on the edge of the section to wrap around the edge of the section. Some varieties with faster growth can even completely wrap the small section. This kind of nodule appears on the pole, which proves that you are buying a mature pile. (the picture shows a section that has grown for many years and has formed a horseeye.)

2, look at the branches, after the piles germinate, the new buds continue to grow and become new branches, which is the performance of the survival of the piles. After the branches continue to grow, the green branches slowly become thicker and lignified, which is the realization of ripening, so if you see this kind of Lignification in some branches of the material pile, it means that the pile has been cultivated for some days. The growth has stabilized.

3, look at the leaves, if the stump retains some branches and leaves, from the above two points, it seems to be satisfied, then it has to be combined with the leaves. When the stump goes down the hill, the root system damage is certain. Once the plant root system is damaged, the first manifestation is the leaf, which will be dim in a few days. If the leaves of the whole plant are dim, please proceed with caution. If the above two items are satisfied, and the leaves are fresh, there are new and old leaves, you will not be disappointed to start at this time.

Of course, when you encounter a pile that suits your eyes, it is also possible to start, but you should take strict and careful care to put an end to the loss.

Start with piles, the first step is to disinfect the roots, potassium permanganate or some root disinfectants are fine. Slow-growing tree species can add some nutrients conducive to rooting (less rather than more) in the disinfection process. Plants and people, if you have a wound, you have to prevent infection. The soil matrix used for cultivation should also be sterilized by sun exposure to prevent bacteria or fungi in the soil from infecting plants again. Second, the section of the branch should be sealed with tin foil or sealing glue, which is to prevent the loss of water from the plant itself and to isolate harmful bacteria in the air. Third, the branches that leak out of the pot soil should be wrapped in plastic wrap, because before the roots grow, the stems of the plants will be exposed to the air and there is a risk of dehydration. Finally, it should be noted that the roots should be raised first. In the link of root cultivation, do not let the basin soil get too wet for a long time, which will lead to the decay of the old roots, which is basically hopeless.

The above is the bonsai maintenance experience summarized by Huinong net editor for many years. Will you distinguish bonsai between raw pile and mature pile this time? If you want to know more about agricultural technology, please follow Huinong School!

How to graft Platycladus orientalis stump bonsai? Techniques of making antique piles by grafting Platycladus orientalis stakes with bonsai

Walking into the bonsai garden, we can see that some large, unique and odd Platycladus orientalis stakes gather together, and with the development of social economy, the market demand for tree stump bonsai increases, and various places begin to use thick branches of Platycladus orientalis as scions and seedlings of Platycladus orientalis as rootstocks. Take a variety of grafting methods to make Platycladus orientalis stump bonsai, and then the editor will briefly talk about the techniques of making antique stakes by grafting Platycladus orientalis stakes.

1. In the early spring of every year, before Platycladus orientalis germinates, cut the branches of Platycladus orientalis according to the bonsai modeling, hide the sand in the shade, and keep the sand moist to avoid water loss.

2. When the temperature increases, when the branch germinates and the cambium leaves the bark, the spare Platycladus orientalis seedlings are grafted into the lower part of the thick branch of Platycladus orientalis by bark grafting or grafting.

3. The grafted rootstocks are fixed on the branches of Platycladus orientalis with pneumatic code nail gun, which can avoid the mutual displacement between them. Then, according to the thickness of Platycladus orientalis branches and rootstocks, several rootstock seedlings are grafted on each branch segment, which can effectively improve the survival rate.

4. The thick 6-8cm and high 15-20cm sticks are selected and fixed in the medulla of the lower part of Platycladus orientalis branches with a pneumatic code nail gun, which can effectively avoid the displacement of the interface between the rootstock seedlings and the branches during planting, and at the same time, watering after cultivation and maintenance can also prevent the pile diameter from tilting.

5. Apply the water-retaining agent of healing agent to the grafting interface, wrap the part above the grafting interface with plastic film, leave only the saw mouth under the branch and the root system of rootstock, and then cultivate it in river sand or loose and permeable medium with a planting depth of 5-10cm. After planting, the stump is fixed to avoid shaking.

6. Maintenance of potted landscape of Platycladus orientalis stump

The maintenance of Platycladus orientalis stump bonsai should spray water on the branches 1-3 times a day according to the local air temperature and wind intensity, so as to reduce transpiration.

Observe the cultivation substrate frequently to avoid drought or stagnant water

Hot and scorching sun in summer, shade in time and increase watering times

It is not suitable to fertilize Platycladus orientalis stump bonsai during the maintenance period.

7. In the spring of the following year, the stumps with healed roots and healthy growth were trimmed according to the bonsai art modeling scheme, and the bonsai blanks of Platycladus orientalis stumps were made.

What are the sources of stump materials? The main points of material selection of tree stump bonsai plants

What are the sources of stump materials? The sources of stump materials are mainly the purchase of stump market, artificial reproduction of small stump, excavation of wild stump, and the selection of stump bonsai plants is the most basic requirement of stump bonsai production, so we need to have a certain understanding of this aspect. Next, the editor will talk about the main points of material selection of stump bonsai plants.

Matters needing attention for the purchase of stumps in the market

① to see if the stump can't survive because of excessive loss of water.

Whether there are too few whisker roots in ② roots, too few are not easy to survive.

The shape of ③ stump should have the ancient vigorous posture.

2. Artificial propagation of small tree stumps

Propagation method: planting by cutting, grafting and other methods.

Third, the benefits of digging wild tree stumps

The ① mountain tree stump passes through the sculpture of nature, its posture is old and simple, and its natural beauty

② has the advantages of fast forming and low cost.

Third, the selection of stump bonsai plants

After the excavation of the old stump, the billet management is mainly to ensure survival, generally buried in the ground for maintenance, and then shape and lift the root year by year after survival, at the same time, we also need to pay attention to the following points:

Don't rush into the pot after ① survives.

Sparse watering is avoided in ②, and ensuring moist and non-waterlogged condition is the most important measure for stump survival.

③ avoid erroneous observation, the front section of cutting roots and branches caused by sudden serious injury to the plant will enter the "fake death", at this time should be properly managed to warm and wet maintenance of the pile vitality, first with the vitality of the pile to give birth to buds, into the "false life", but even if the new roots still do not reach the real life, mainly because these young roots are not enough to absorb enough water and nutrients to supply the stump, it is still necessary to continue to bury the pile to achieve real life.

④ avoid heart floating, the pile head design into pile posture must be carefully considered, frequent removal of new buds is an impetuous performance, which is extremely disadvantageous to pile maintenance.
