Notes on Metasequoia bonsai

Growing environment

Metasequoia glyptostroboides like light, like warm and warm climate, its root system is very developed, very easy to grow. We can put more balconies and other places with better lighting conditions, which is conducive to its growth.

Proper watering

Metasequoia must be watered regularly after planting, and the new roots that have just been planted have not yet grown, so they are unable to absorb water, which will cause metasequoia to wither. So in the morning and evening, we can use flower spray to wet its branches, leaves and bark, which will help it grow new roots and make it grow healthily, but be careful not to water too much.

Fertilizing and topdressing

When the metasequoia begins to grow slowly, we can fertilize it. Many people think that the newly planted metasequoia can not be fertilized, and that early fertilization will lead to indigestion, but practice has proved that as long as it develops well, it should apply some light fertilizer after it grows new roots. only in this way can it grow better branches and leaves.

Above, we have made a brief introduction to the living environment, watering and fertilization of Metasequoia glyptostroboides. Then let's take a look at the reproduction of Metasequoia glyptostroboides.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Metasequoia bonsai

Metasequoia is known as the living fossil of the plant kingdom. It is said that it appeared as early as 2.5 million years ago. Now other plants of the genus Metasequoia have become extinct, leaving only one species of Metasequoia glyptostroboides. Its value in the flower market is particularly high. After being made into potted plants, they can be placed and cultivated at home, but how can this precious and ancient plant be cultivated well? In a moment, I will write down its metasequoia culture method and tell you.

Culture method

1. Use flowerpots of the right size

When raising metasequoia bonsai, be sure to use flowerpots of the right size, which should not be too small, otherwise it will make its roots fail to grow normally, cause roots to rot, and prevent its new roots from growing, and metasequoia will die slowly over time. If the Metasequoia glyptostroboides plant is very small at the beginning of cultivation, you can choose a small flowerpot and change the pot in time next spring, when the flowerpot will grow larger as it grows.

2. Timely ventilation

Metasequoia glyptostroboides this kind of plant likes the breeding environment with good ventilation conditions. When cultivating Metasequoia glyptostroboides potted plants at ordinary times, it must be placed indoors with good ventilation conditions, and wood must be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot, and it cannot be put directly on the ground. Otherwise, it will be due to poor ventilation conditions, resulting in leaf shedding or root damage, so that the metasequoia in the pot can not grow normally.

3. Pay attention to pruning the root system

When cultivating Metasequoia glyptostroboides potted plants at ordinary times, we must pay attention to the pruning of the root system, because the root system of this plant develops very fast and will form a staggered density in the flowerpot. When people change pots in a single pot of water supply every year, they should take out its plants and remove all the decaying and aging roots from its roots, and then transplant them into new flowerpots. Only in this way can we promote the growth of new roots and make the growth of metasequoia more exuberant.

4. Appropriate watering and fertilization

Aquaculture metasequoia pot must pay attention to appropriate watering and fertilization, although it is a water-loving plant, but watering must not be excessive, can not let stagnant water in the flowerpot, otherwise it will also affect the normal growth of metasequoia. In addition, Metasequoia glyptostroboides this plant has different requirements for fertilizer, usually do not need regular fertilization, fertilization every two months, and the fertilizer must be thin liquid fertilizer.

Metasequoia bonsai growing environment how to raise metasequoia bonsai

Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a gymnospermous deciduous tree of Taxodiaceae. Metasequoia glyptostroboides, as one of the national key protected trees, needs special care. Today, the editor briefly introduces how to grow metasequoia bonsai.

Before introducing how to grow metasequoia bonsai, let's introduce its growing environment.

Growing environment of metasequoia bonsai

1. Metasequoia bonsai likes warm and humid climate, cool summer, snow but not cold winter, extremely lowest temperature-8 ℃, extreme highest temperature about 24 ℃.

2. Metasequoia glyptostroboides has strong cold tolerance and moisture tolerance. It can grow into a light-loving tree species in light saline-alkali soil, the root system is well developed, and the growth rate is often dominated by soil moisture.

3. Metasequoia glyptostroboides can not tolerate barren and drought, purify the air, grow slowly, and transplant easily.

How to raise Metasequoia bonsai

1. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a precious tree species in the State of Wu. the conservation of metasequoia bonsai is generally considered to be suitable for survival in sunny places.

2. It takes patience to preserve Metasequoia glyptostroboides bonsai correctly. Before planting, base fertilizer should be applied first, so as not to harm the roots of Metasequoia glyptostroboides.

3. After planting, it should be irrigated regularly and thoroughly.

4. When the metasequoia begins to grow slowly, we can fertilize again.

5. Metasequoia glyptostroboides needs proper pruning at seedling stage, and Metasequoia glyptostroboides can be easily preserved.

Fertilizer and water treatment

1. It is generally believed that the newly planted metasequoia bonsai can not be fertilized, especially early fertilization will cause "indigestion" at the end of the stump.

2. However, practice has proved that this is not the case. as long as we can grasp the development of the stump, especially after the new roots grow, we should strive to apply appropriate thin liquid fertilizer in time, which can promote the growth of fibrous roots and the growth of branches and leaves.

Watering treatment

1. The newly planted bonsai of Metasequoia glyptostroboides has no new roots, but the original roots are injured and fail to absorb water, so the branches are easy to dry up.

2. Spray the branches with a sprinkler in the morning and evening to make the bark moist.

3. The newly planted metasequoia bonsai should not be drenched with water, otherwise the stump will sprout too much and the root will grow too slowly to supply the evaporation of the bud, which will cause the stump to wither.

4. Therefore, the amount of water must be controlled as much as possible, and after the occurrence of new roots and buds, the right amount of water should be drenched according to the number of buds.

Matters needing attention

Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a large deciduous tree of Cunninghamia lanceolata of Taxodiaceae. Originated in China, it is a relic plant and living fossil in ancient times, and it is one of the key trees protected by the state. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is sunny, cold-resistant and shady; it has strong adaptability and grows best in deep, fertile and humid acid soil; it can withstand high temperature of 40 degrees and severe cold of minus 30 degrees, is not resistant to drought and barren, and is not afraid of waterlogging.

If long-distance transportation is needed, the seedling root should be soaked in water before planting to make it absorb enough water and promote survival. Dig big holes and apply basic fertilizer before planting, so as not to hurt the roots. After planting, it should be fully watered, watered and thoroughly. Topdressing fertilizer can be applied during the growing period, and the seedling stage can be pruned properly. Do not prune after 4-5 years, so as not to destroy the tree shape.
