Making Ganoderma lucidum bonsai

1. The selection of materials should be based on the type, color, shape, size, etc. of Ganoderma lucidum to choose different types of pots, generally dark ceramic pots are better. If it is red ganoderma lucidum, pine fir ganoderma lucidum, brown, purple basin is ideal, can make tonal coordination, simple and elegant. If it is black Ganoderma lucidum, black Ganoderma lucidum, white porcelain basin should be selected to highlight the morphological characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum in strong contrast. It is not advisable to use pots with the same or similar tones as Ganoderma lucidum to avoid a single tone. Ganoderma lucidum material, can be collected wild or artificial cultivation. During artificial cultivation, artificial control of temperature, light and air can cultivate Ganoderma lucidum materials with various shapes and various postures. Such as in the case of high temperature or hypoxia, can cultivate a slender stalk or branch coral-like Ganoderma lucidum. The cap was deformed when the light was reduced.

2. The production of bonsai ① with quartz sand or other sand congestion, so that Ganoderma lucidum shape born in sand, but pay attention to the sand not higher than the basin surface. Weave fine iron wire into a net and put it into a basin. Insert the ganoderma lucidum handle into the appropriate mesh, and then fill it with gravel.② Use latex, glass glue, etc. to bond Ganoderma lucidum and other accessories in place.④ Fix Ganoderma lucidum and accessories in the basin with gypsum. In addition to sand in the basin, but also foil dried moss, branch-like lichen, Selaginella and other non-fragile plants, so that bonsai appears natural. There is also a kind of Ganoderma lucidum with short or sessile stems, which has a large cap and is more convenient to make bonsai. When making it, the base of Ganoderma lucidum can be flattened and bonded in the pot. These Ganoderma lucidum because of the large and flat surface, can be written on it poetry or painting landscape figures, but also carved a variety of patterns. When placed in the basin, it can be placed singly or several inlaid or overlapped together. Its surface is coated with transparent paint, which can be preserved and viewed for a long time.

3. The naming of bonsai gives a proper and profound name to the bonsai, which is one of the artistic techniques in making bonsai. The name plays well, can play the role of "painting dragon point clear"; otherwise, it gives people the feeling of "painting snake and adding feet". The name may be written according to a predetermined theme, or it may be determined according to the morphology of the material used. If it is a single Ganoderma lucidum, strong growth, shape Ruyi, can be named "auspicious Ruyi"; if two intact Ganoderma lucidum and connected together bonsai, can be named "concentric phase" or "forever knot concentric"...

4. The preservation of Ganoderma lucidum bonsai ① should pay attention to moisture and insect resistance. Good ganoderma lucidum bonsai should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to prevent moisture regain and mildew; put appropriate amount of pesticides such as camphor balls in the pot to prevent pests. If insects are found, they should be fumigated, frozen or dried, or exposed to sunlight. If Ganoderma lucidum has damage or insect eyes, seal it with paraffin or adhesive tape to prevent pests from invading and breeding. Ganoderma lucidum mycelium is most likely to produce maggots or eggs, alcohol can be injected or wiped with alcohol cotton balls. But be careful not to spray alcohol on the surface of Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise it will damage the surface and lose luster.② Pay attention to painting and dust prevention. Because ganoderma lucidum bonsai can be placed for a long time, the surface is easy to pollute dirt and dust and lose luster. In order to prevent pollution and maintain brightness, the surface of Ganoderma lucidum can be painted with varnish, which can prevent insects and moisture, maintain the original luster, and avoid pollution (even if it is stained with dust). However, the paint should not be too thick, otherwise it will crack and affect the appearance. In order to prevent the invasion of dust and pests, glass covers can also be used to cover bonsai.
