Shallow planting water wax bonsai

Water wax belongs to the water wax family, evergreen all the year round, resistant to pruning, easy to shape, is an excellent material for making bonsai. This water wax tree stump oblique trunk tree stump height of about 60 cm, from the basic part of the two roots trend is very good, the overall transition is also good, after analysis and thinking, it is concluded that this is a very good bonsai creation material, natural and generous, very lasting. In order to ensure the survival of the shallow planting, I successfully transplanted the pile into the shallow basin by using the three-step position method. The specific methods are:

In the first step of ①, I prepared a medium tile pot to plant water wax stumps, while using loose and breathable sandy loam to facilitate root growth. In my pile cultivation process for many years, the survival rate of water wax is very high. After a year of careful maintenance has been luxuriant.

The second step of ② is around Ching Ming Festival in spring, knock the wax pile out of the tile basin, try not to break the soil mass, then cut off the withered roots and surface floating soil around the soil mass, place it in a shallow basin, fill in the newly cultivated soil and press it, at the same time, transplant a small amount of moss, then sprinkle water evenly with a spray can, after a period of maintenance, confirm that the transplant survived, you can apply a small amount of mature liquid fertilizer. Artificially provide enough nutrients to plants to make bonsai leaves green and vibrant.

The third step of ③ is to trim the bonsai 2 to 3 times a year. The water wax has a strong germinating power and is easy to retain the film. The position that needs to be adjusted can be modeled with thin wire, and dilute liquid fertilizer is applied once a month to maintain proper soil moisture. After nearly 3 years of maintenance, a basin of water wax bonsai is beginning to take shape. As shown in the photo, the top piece can be removed to make it elegant, and it can also be cultivated for several years to make it grow into a big cloud. In short, it can be continuously improved and perfected in practice and exploration.
