There is a new way to fix the bonsai of Phyllostachys pubescens.

As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nantianzhu was listed as the garden plant of the classical garden, and later introduced sandalwood to bonsai, which was deeply loved by bonsai circles. However, this evergreen upright shrub, with few dry height branches and extremely fierce growth in spring, is difficult to control its shape, which brings great disadvantage to bonsai modeling. After years of practice, the author summed up three posture measures for bonsai lovers' reference.

First, cut short. In late winter and early spring, the grey piles excavated will be cut short by selecting the latent bud points with moderate height according to the design requirements. It is allowed to grow in the first year, and most of the shoots of the previous year can be cut off at the same time in the second year, leaving only one or two branches in the lowest place, so that new buds can sprout from the axils of the branches. In the future, we should follow this example every year to avoid increasing the trunk year by year. This practice is also beneficial to the results of Tianzhu.

Second, acupuncture. Spring budding period, when the new bud grows to two centimeters long, pierce the stem of the bud with a needle, and the new bud is punctured once for every one centimeter of the new bud. With the thickening of the bud diameter, the number of acupuncture increased to two to four times. In this way, it can prevent the growth of new buds and promote the dry body or top to sprout again. If the method is used continuously and new buds sprout continuously, the problem of dry and less branching can be solved, the length of branches can be shortened, and the requirements of modeling and shape control can be met. It stops before the bamboo blossoms in June. During this period, the clump of bamboo seedlings should be removed in time.

Third, maintenance. In order to ensure that the posture measures are effective, the maintenance and management of Phyllostachys pubescens must be legal. In spring, Phyllostachys pubescens germination needs enough light and moist environment, so there is no need for shade; after July, it needs to be placed in a cool shade and comes back after autumn; when it comes to winter, the pot soil is slightly dry to survive the winter. In terms of fertilization, from February, once or twice a month, to July to stop; cake fertilizer and bone meal fertilizer rotation, not too much too thick. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed once at the end of May. The implementation of the above methods needs to be fully considered. This method is applicable to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
