How to raise fire thorn bonsai culture method

Firethorn bonsai is very popular because of its green leaves and beautiful tree shape, which can watch leaves, flowers and fruits, so it is very suitable for being placed at home. Next, I will tell you about the method of bonsai culture of firethorn.

1. Watering:

The firethorn stump in the first pot is watered at 8 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and all the branches are sprayed with water each time. After the new buds grow 5cm~6cm, you can water once a day, pay attention to the basin soil is not too wet, so as not to affect the normal growth of new roots. After the new buds grow out of 8cm~10cm, the new roots have been basically formed at this time. It can be seen that the basin soil is not dry or irrigated, and then poured enough until the basin bottom is running water.

two。 Fertilization:

Due to the limited space of the pot, less soil and insufficient nutrients, in order to make potted firethorn grow vigorously, it is impossible without fertilizer, but we must grasp the time and quantity of fertilization. In order to give full play to the efficiency of fertilizer and meet the needs of the growth of firethorn stump, the new pile is generally not fertilized from March to April, and 0.2% urea solution is sprayed on the basin soil and leaves every 10 days from May to June. From July to September, rapeseed cake water was applied every 10 days, from October to December, once in 15 days after being diluted with 10% chicken manure, and stopped from January to February of the following year.

With the above fertilization methods, the new branches can grow thick 1cm-1.5cm in the same year, and the shaped firethorn bonsai will also blossom and bear fruit year after year, and the fruit is many, big and bright, which can fully reflect its ornamental effect.

3. Change the basin:

Fire thorn bonsai fruit every year, the consumption of nutrients is very fast, generally large and deep pots change soil every two years, small and shallow pots need to change soil once a year. The best time to change the basin is from late February to Qingming Festival. Before the new buds germinate, remove the leaves and fruits and change the basin with nutritious soil with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. When changing the basin, take the plant out of the basin, then use a small shovel or bamboo to remove 1/3 of the old roots and old soil around and at the bottom, and then put gauze or broken tiles on the water holes in the basin to facilitate ventilation and drainage.

Lay a layer of nutritious soil, and then put the plants into people, fill the soil on the one hand, and tamp the soil with small sticks or bamboo slices on the other. The soil must be lcm~2cm lower than the basin mouth to facilitate watering. After the change of soil, the first time the water should be fully watered, and then it will be managed normally. Do not move the firethorn bonsai that has been changed frequently, so as not to harm the growth of new roots and change the orientation of the plant, affecting the ornamental effect.

4. Pruning:

Pruning in time and promoting the hanging of fruit branches are very important for the next year. The branches of Hippophae rhamnoides grow very fast, so they should be pruned in time to promote the twigs that hang fruit. Especially in autumn, it is necessary to cut the branches in place and maintain a good tree shape, because as soon as the new branches grow in the next year, they will blossom and bear fruit. If they are not cut in autumn, the flowers of the following year will bloom on the branches at the front end, and then cut off the hanging fruit branches.

So the tree type in late autumn is basically the tree type that hangs fruit in the following year. The new branches that grow after hanging fruit on the branches can be cut off at any time to keep the crown width of the plant unchanged, and the hanging fruits are all in the outer layer of the crown width. After ripening, the ornamental effect is the best.

5. Disease prevention and pest control:

Due to environmental factors, Pyracantha is easy to get powdery mildew, harming leaves, twigs, flowers and fruits. This is due to lack of light, poor ventilation and long shading time. Spraying Bordeaux solution, stone sulfur mixture or carbendazim can be used for control. There are mainly two kinds of pests that harm the growth of firethorn: one is the piercing shell insect, which can make the stump growth decline, or even the whole plant die. The shell insect has a waxy layer, so it is difficult for drugs to enter the insect body.

Prevention and control methods:

You should observe it frequently. If you find a shell worm, you should immediately remove it with wire, stick or knife. The medicine can use 0.1% oil floating agent, spray the tree body, bury carbofuran according to 1 ‰ of the basin soil, and kill the insect through internal absorption. Second, aphids are easy to occur in spring and autumn. Aphids harm the tree stump and distort the new shoots and tender leaves, and the feces excreted by aphids fall on the leaves and fruits to form small black spots, affecting the ornamental effect of firethorn bonsai. All aphids can be killed by spraying 1000 times of omethoate or 800 times of dichlorvos twice in a row.

The above is for you to introduce the firethorn bonsai culture method, I hope it can help you, more household knowledge please pay attention.
