Come and learn the four modeling skills of bonsai.

No matter any plant has a root, the root is the initial state of plant growth. It provides enough energy for plants, which is also the main part of absorbing energy. This is because the root of the plant has some absorption layer, it also has the function of filtering and protection, can filter harmful substances. Natural bonsai is also inseparable from the root, but according to the different types and styles of bonsai, the root treatment methods are also different. There are roughly the following ways.

The first is to repair the main root and promote the lateral root.

When making bonsai, prepare the clothes and soil you need. Then there is the preliminary pruning and styling design of the bonsai, which is not just the exposed part of the plant. The roots of plants also need to be designed. Usually, the shape of the root is designed to be trimmed and ligated. When pruning, not only those roots that are dead or eroded by diseases and insect pests should be pruned carefully. It should also be noted that the lateral root of the bonsai root should not be pruned during pruning, because the lateral root grows slowly due to gravity to make the lateral root grow rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to prune the main roots of plants. Inhibit the growth of main root and promote the growth of plant lateral root. The reason for doing this is out of one consideration: flowerpots. If the root of the plant grows downward, when it touches the bottom of the flowerpot, the root of the plant will grow in a staggered and disorderly manner, which is not conducive to nutrient absorption.

Second, grow on stones.

Bonsai is different from other plants because it pays attention to the special flavor and temperament of plants. So when making bonsai, we also need some external accessories. For example, when making landscape bonsai, you also need to lay a layer of moss or grass. When making bonsai with stones and landscapes, an important accessory is stone. The reason for using stones is to show strange shapes in nature. Of course, when making this kind of bonsai, some flower friends may find that the roots of some plants grow in cracks in the soil. Therefore, before making, it is necessary to find the cracks in the selected stone and then plant the roots of the plant in the cracks in the stone. Of course, in order to keep the plant stable, a layer of soil needs to be sprinkled in these gaps. On the one hand, it plays a stabilizing role, on the other hand, it provides energy for plants.

The third is to use qi to promote root.

There are many ways to promote the growth of plant roots. However, the root growth of some Arbor bonsai plants depends on natural gas. This method not only produces roots in nature. Artificial methods can also promote root growth. This is based on the water-soluble growth of plants to prevent the roots from bending prematurely during growth. Therefore, when the root of the plant is just produced, the nutrient channel under the plant is first cut off. Then wrap the wet towel in the position where the passage under the plant line is cut off, which can promote the humidity into the plant body and promote the rapid growth of the plant root at this temperature. However, when cutting off the transport passage of plants, care should be taken not to damage the xylem and other organs of plants.

This is to prevent plant roots from being damaged, which can easily lead to root rot. It will not only affect the growth and development of plants, but also indirectly affect the beauty of plants. This will reduce people's appreciation of the feasibility of plants, thus losing the essential meaning of bonsai.

Fourth, bare roots.

In the production of bonsai, one style of bonsai is exposed bonsai, because the roots of this bonsai are exposed. People can see with the naked eye, and some exposed bonsai roots should be exposed because the exposed images of the root cognitive objects are more specific and have the original smell.

However, the roots of the exposed bonsai were not exposed from the beginning, but were slowly pulled out the day after tomorrow. Bonsai plants also grow in the soil at first, and then slowly put their roots in the soil as the plants continue to grow. Pull out of the soil surface, but not at once, at least three times. After pulling out part of the root each time, wrap the exposed root with soil to prevent the newly pulled root from being infected by bacteria on the one hand and to prevent water from evaporating from the root on the other. After a period of time, the roots of the plant adapt to the external environment of the soil, when the wrapped soil can be removed. Then, the roots on the side of the plant are put into the soil, and only the front and back are exposed to increase the appreciation value.

These are all about the treatment of bonsai roots. I hope this will be helpful to flower lovers who like bonsai.
