How to shape and raise the triangular maple bonsai

Triangle maple, this is a tree, generally ornamental, can grow high and high, triangle maple can also be made into bonsai, triangle maple bonsai how to shape? How to raise a triangle tree:

How does the triangle shape:

Generally, it is better to design the shape in the growing season, so that the appropriate time can be selected according to the elasticity and toughness of the branches. Also because the triangle maple itself grows relatively fast, so when the branches grow should be set, otherwise grow to a period of time, the branches will be hard, and then set, it will be easy to tear off.

If you set the shape in the summer of vigorous growth, you will encounter cracked branches. At this time, its wounds will heal faster, so you can also set the shape at this time, trim and pull so repeatedly, set the shape of the branches to your favorite shape, put it in the shade for maintenance, and wait until the middle of July and August. After the leaves grow, they will have a very beautiful effect.

How to raise a triangle tree:

1, triangle maple bonsai is generally placed in a place where ventilation should be good, light transmission, and relatively humid. If it is in summer, it should be placed in a shady or shady place to prevent sun exposure and wither; in winter, it should be placed indoors for maintenance.

2, because the growth of triangular maple is strong, so it is necessary to regularly prune, maintain the shape of triangular maple, to the winter can only prune shaping once.

3, pests are a major natural enemy of plants, so in the spring to carry out the spraying of pest control dosage.

About triangle maple bonsai modeling method and breeding method introduced here, hurry to come to a plant at home.

All the knowledge of triangle maple bonsai has yo

Triangle maple, we can see that the name must be shaped like a triangle maple, and there are many humorous netizens said triangle maple looks like duck palm, really very similar, so the name duck palm maple was born. Acer triangular stem stout, feeling is a year, there are stories of plants, experienced a lot of weather-beaten feeling. Because it has a story shape attracted the attention of many friends, then how should the triangle maple bonsai be planted and maintained? Don't worry, I'll tell you.

Transplanting and pile-cutting

Acer delavayi has strong bud force and fast rooting. It is best to transplant from November to Qingming Festival in the following year. It is relatively easy to manage the stumps transplanted at this time. The survival rate of anti-seasonal transplantation is also higher. The relative management is more complex. The same is to require moist environment, reasonable soil structure and reasonable illumination.

Before transplanting, carefully analyze the transplanted piles, select the root plate well, excessively ideal, wild and natural, and grow vigorously. According to the size of the root plate, dig far away from the root plate, try to retain the root system, and leave a large space for the first pile cutting, conservative. It is inevitable to hurt roots and branches in transportation, and then cut piles according to the idea in mind after arriving home. The transportation time of purchasing piles in other places is long, so it should be the same. This time, the stump is still not completely in place. One or two more bud points should be reserved than envisaged. Because the position of stump bud point is not obvious, it is very likely that the first bud will die after a long winter. It is necessary to keep one or two more bud points. Coarse roots, old roots in place at one time, try to retain the finger thick youth roots, its hair fine root ability is strong, survival germination depends on it.

After cutting off the root rod, we should do some treatment to the kerf, find a sharp chisel to trim the wound, in order to over-naturally eliminate the traces of artificial sawing, thick root kerf should also be inverted. After dressing, apply healing agent or white glue once or twice. After drying naturally, stick the wound tightly with sticky tin bowl paper. Practice proves that the wound healing speed after pasting tin bowl paper is improved a lot. This method can also be used in other tree species, and the effect is obvious. After trimming thick roots, apply erythromycin ointment, the purpose is to prevent thick roots from cutting big, easy to infect bacteria, after coating protective effect, relatively early rooting.

Root treatment in place for survival, growth rate, critical. I hope you don't mind the trouble, do your work home, and lay a solid foundation for future training.

Planting and maintenance

Planting methods include potted plants, ground planting, brick building pool planting, all kinds of planting methods have their own characteristics, each person's situation is different, should be treated separately.

Select some dry fine river sand, you can buy enough pearlite substitute, some dry pastoral soil or rotten leaf soil, a small amount of coarse river sand to be used. Here to explain is that the soil varies from place to place, to maintain a good ratio of loose, breathable, rapid infiltration as the key. Because triangle maple is not strict to soil structure, the soil that does not stick commonly, do not harden soil completely OK.

There are many people living in buildings in cities. Generally, pots are used. Large pots and deep pots are used for unformed ones. In practice, large potted maple trees grow at an ideal speed. In 2007, I conducted experiments. I selected reasonable soil. Water and fertilizer management were in place. The new top branches were 2.7 cm thick in the first year, and the lateral branches ranged from 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm. This data cannot fully explain anything, but it is certain that urban residents can play from tree embryos. Small and medium-sized potted Acer buergerianum can be basically shaped after 3-5 years.

Pot with tile or net top pot hole, prepared with a layer of coarse sand top, thickness according to the depth of the pot flexible control. Then spread a layer of fine river sand and pastoral soil after each half uniform mixed soil, put on the treated tree stump, set the angle, with mixed soil to fill the root space can be. In this link, attention should be paid to using dry mixed soil to facilitate complete contact between roots and roots, and slowly poking with bamboo sticks to avoid voids. The soil buried to the original exposed position a little deeper, but to have 1-2 cm space from the pot surface, to prevent the soil is too high, resulting in future water and fertilizer loss.

At this time a fixed root irrigation water, to irrigate thoroughly. Winter on the pot culture need bagging insulation moisture, put a few days should check once, not before germination soil water demand is very small, wet both can, and so on sprouts should go after the bag, spray water 3-5 times a day on the pile body can, soil to maintain normal moisture, a friend asked me how to need watering, simply said, some white soil surface can be watered. Acer triangle water demand, normal growth of potted plants once a day is needed, the same is true of cloudy days in summer, except for rainy days. Regular foliar spray water, water-deficient triangle maple growth slow, thin branches.

Growth exuberant into the end of May on the test fertilizer, pot fertilizer is better, fertilizer varieties, organic fertilizer 10 times, choose evening watering a few float, the next morning watering a permeable. Every 10-15 days throughout the growth period, combined with good weeding, loose soil, believe that the growth must be very vigorous at this time. Potted to pay attention to is a reasonable soil structure, light, water and fertilizer, large pots must change soil for 2 years, small pots change soil every year to repair roots is to ensure rapid growth of the premise.

Cultivate bonsai to have a friend to add wings, choose higher terrain, flat plot, soil half sand half soil best. After loosening soil, digging and planting, the method is the same as that of potted plants, and the management is also the same, but the growth rate is better than that of potted plants, and the amount of watering is obviously reduced. The difference is that small and medium-sized piles are planted underground, which is inconvenient for future pruning, the bottom branches are too close to the ground, the ventilation conditions are slightly poor, and cliff-type bonsai cannot be cultivated. When herbicides are needed, they are easy to spray on the branches, causing phytotoxicity. Land planting and potted plants have their own merits, and they should be adapted to local conditions.

At present, in addition to potted plants and field cultivation, there is still a method used more. The brick pool planting method completely absorbs the advantages of the former two, and avoids the disadvantages. For friends who have land, this method is an extension of the value.

Build a pool with standard bricks on the flat ground. The size depends on the pile foundation size. It is better to enlarge it by more than half. The height depends on the height of the pile. Generally, it is 40-60 cm. It is better to leave a space of 2 meters around the brick pool and another pile pool. The bottom layer of the pile pool can be put with relatively rich soil. If there is pond mud or farm manure, put some. Put a layer of culture soil in the middle. Use mixed soil containing sand for the upper part of the pile planting. Before planting, the middle and lower layers of soil should be compacted to avoid sinking after planting the pile. Change the angle of the pile.

The advantages of the brick planting method are shown in the following aspects:

1 new pile mining with this method will not be base water, of course, the old pile also do not need base water.

2 and direct planting ratio, increased height, easy to observe, pruning can take some of the accurate.

3 is also because of the increase in height, good ventilation, good lighting, the bottom branches can be better fine collection of light and heat, growth speed will be faster.

4 When spraying herbicides, they will not be sprayed on tree stumps. When planting in the ground, they will often be sprayed on branches because the branches under the piles are too close to the ground.

5 to plant exposed roots to artificial soil, with this method is not needed, as long as the removal of a layer of standard bricks can be, a long time naturally exposed roots, a layer is not enough to take two layers.

6 Practice found that the root of the pile first to grow around, and so on quickly hit the brick down, so it does not affect the beauty of the root after the problem.

Disadvantages:

1 increase the cost, a standard brick to more than 2 cents. The first medium-sized stump costs an additional 20 yuan and can be used repeatedly for several years.

in that first year, we should irrigate more wat than planting in the ground, and when the root grow underground, it will be exactly the same as planting in the ground.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the popularization and application of value.

pruning and pruning

The normal growth of the pile into late May branches have a meter long, at this time according to the needs of the future modeling can be fixed branches. Before setting branches, carefully observe, conceive, ponder more, ask friends for reference, cut off absolutely useless branches, and then set branches step by step from bottom to top. Because triangle maple grows fast, branches grow straight upward, lateral branches that need to be horizontally long need to be artificially pulled to an ideal angle with aluminum wire or rope. After branches change angle, the tips of branches should be fixed upward with bamboo sticks, and branches droop or grow horizontally will slow down, which is related to the advantage of plant top. Entering June is plum rain days, strong winds and heavy rain weather sometimes occur, the new branches at this time thick has been faster than one cm, but not completely lignified, at this time the strong wind to break the branches is very likely to occur, it needs to be fixed with wood bamboo reinforcement, can be combined with fixed branches to complete.

For useless branches and buds to be regularly cut off, concentrated nutrition supply needs branches, the lack of branches can be connected, triangle maple healing ability is fast, only need to peel the mother stake, rely on new branches, tied tightly wrapped, a month to heal together, through a year of growth, the second year can cut off the mother branch. The same method can be used to find some small old trees to join.

Triangle maple is opposite bud, in culture will grow two opposite branches, at this time should actually remove a branch, a long time, will occur big belly branch, affect the appearance. After a growing season, the thickness should be cut short after reaching the expected range, and those with insufficient thickness should continue to be stocked. If a branch reaches thickness in the growing season, it can be controlled by topping, and cut in place in the spring of the following year. This avoids the possibility of losing branches due to unbalanced tree vigor. There are many friends who like to prune a lot after falling leaves. In fact, this is not appropriate. In southern Anhui, winter is still cold. If the germination is not in place after frostbite, it needs to be re-cultivated and the cultivation time increased. If there is a greenhouse, it is another matter.

Transplanting out of season and management of weak piles

The piles with good root system can be cultivated outdoors in normal season, and it is better to grow without shade. We should take seriously the piles purchased or dug in anti-season. After the middle of April, the temperature rises and the growth of branches has begun. At this time, the excavated piles shall be soaked in clear water with rooting powder for one night, and a little branch shall be exposed to breathe outside. The next day, according to the usual pile cutting treatment, root powder mixed with yellow mud coated in the root, with fine sand pile, buried piles deeper than usual, the deepest up to more than half of the pile, keep the sand wet, with 90% of the shade net to build a cane cover. The frequency of spraying water should be increased, and the new branches should be fully retained. According to the time of picking piles, the branches can be fixed in the middle and late August or the next year.

For those that grow very weakly, we should stop pruning and fertilizing. Before May, we should shade the cane, spray more water, not fertilize. The soil has a sense of moisture. Irrigate the rooting water. If you have the conditions, you can buy some garden maintenance solution. I believe it will help the growth and root recovery.

After reading the breeding knowledge of triangle maple, there must be a lot of friends who have triangle maple potted plants at home to get some help. Treat potted plants this small plants must be more patient than large plants, because small things are careful to raise well, not as drought-resistant as large trees. Triangle maple has its unique style, small days are green leaves, autumn is a yellow scenery, early spring will send out buds, scarlet color is very bright. There are stories, friends who like color changes will love triangle maple bonsai, you can feel the changes of the four seasons through triangle maple.

The cultivation of potted plants of Acer triangularis and the use of sacrificial branches

Today we are going to introduce articles about the cultivation of triangular maple bonsai and the use of sacrificial branches. Let's take a look!

▲ June 2013

The picture above shows a triangular maple that has been cultivated for four years. The photo was taken just after partial leaf picking and paneling. The long, straight branches at the far end are deliberately "sacrificial branches." Sacrificial branches are used to thicken the lower trunk. Since the "sacrificial branch" will not be pruned for a long time, it grows vigorously and provides abundant nutrients for the trunk below the branch to thicken the trunk. When the lower trunk reaches the desired thickness, the sacrificial branches are mercilessly discarded. This is also the origin of the name "sacrifice branch". "Sacrificial branch" can effectively shorten the time of bonsai formation.

After modeling, the ground is stocked to speed up growth.

▲ January 2015

Triangle maple vitality, under the stocking more than a year later, you can see the trunk and "sacrificial branches" are thickened a lot. The sacrificial branch had grown to almost the thickness of the trunk.

At this point, I feel that the trunk has reached the desired thickness. You can cut off the "sacrificial branch." The reason why it was not removed now was that it was winter and the plant had entered dormancy. If it was removed at this time, the wound would recover very slowly. Therefore, it is generally advocated to prune during the growing period of plants.

In March 2015, spring arrived. As shown in the picture, the triangle maple has begun to sprout and gradually resume growth. Prepare for pruning at this time. Because the "sacrificial branch" is thicker, it will leave a big scar if it is cut off at one time, the wound will heal slowly, and the tree will also be damaged, affecting the normal growth of the plant. Therefore, it is prepared to remove the "sacrificial branches" in stages. For the technique of removing large branches in stages, the article the day before yesterday specifically talked about it. Interested pot friends can go to the previous article "Bonsai School."| The little tricks to remove the big branches have to be seen!"

As shown above, only half of the "sacrificial branch" was removed. Wait until the wound heals before removing the other half.

data-s="300,640" data-type=jpeg data-src="? wx_fmt=jpeg" data-ratio=1.499267935578331 data-w=683 data-fail=0 v:shapes="_x0000_i1028">▲ End of May 2015. The leaves were picked. Let the "sacrificial branch" continue to grow.

▲ January 2016

In January 2016, the upper pot was dug out from the ground for cultivation. At this time, the "sacrificial branch" has not been completely removed. I'm going to be late.

There is still a long way to go before the final product is ready. Due to the previous continuous pruning, the top branches are short and dense, and the branch structure is reasonable, these two points are the most satisfactory places. It will be the highlight of this little stump.

The biggest advantage of using this method to maintain piles is that they are formed quickly. While keeping the trunk, you can also keep branches and layout.

Next, a sacrificial branch is re-selected at the top to increase the thickness of the top branch, making the thickness transition of the whole trunk more natural and harmonious. At the same time, raise a branch to make the crown more plump. At that time, this sketch triangle maple would be considered complete.
