How to raise the bonsai of hammer elm? how much is the price?

Hammer elm is very suitable for bonsai, it is very good-looking, as soon as you see it, there is a classical charm inside, how to raise bonsai? How much does it cost per pot?

How to raise the elm bonsai:

Hammer elm is small leaf elm, but not elm, its shape is more elegant, the biggest feature is bark and trunk mottled, autumn leaves will change color, belong to deciduous trees.

1. Pile selection

When buying nut elm bonsai, you must look at the pile carefully. The more fresh the pile billet is, the better. Don't think that the decaying pile has more charm, and some even the root system is not growing well. Novices should let the nut elm survive first and do the modeling slowly.

2. Pre-planting treatment

First of all, the care of the wound and cross-section should be taken care of carefully, and some of them will not be dealt with, resulting in a large amount of pulp running when the wound touches water.

After the pile blank is trimmed, the section and its wound must be trimmed and smooth, and the large section had better be trimmed into a 45-degree slope of leather and xylem. It can not only prevent bacterial infection, but also be conducive to wound healing and root as soon as possible.

3. Dry the wound

The treatment of the wound can not be put on the basin immediately, put the treated pile in the shade for a few hours, and after the wound heals and leaves no juice, a protective film will be formed on the surface, which can ensure a higher germination rate of planted elm, which is also ignored by beginners!

4. Clean up the tree stump

Those mottled hammer elm piles will have many holes, and you need to clean up all the debris in the holes, which is easy to hide insect eggs (termites, etc.). If you want it to grow healthily, you must clean it up if you want it to grow healthily.

5, the basin soil chooses the elm to like to be dry, afraid of moisture, it is best to use the earthen basin as the container, and the medium had better be made of humus soil, pine needle soil and loess at the proportion of 4:3:3, this kind of soil can not only permeate but also retain water, and will not accumulate water.

6, watering tips basin bottom more than a few layers of tiles, pebbles and so on, and then a layer of coarse sand, on good soil, first shake a few times, and then compacted down along the edge of the basin, in case a hole is formed under the pile root, affecting the hairy root.

Note:

After watering the root water thoroughly, cover it with a plastic bag (this step is the most important step for root sprouting), put it in a relatively fixed place, do not move it often (warm and cool, shaded, ventilated), so as not to touch the pile root and break the root bud. Control watering, spray more water on the branches, the basin soil had better keep dry.

Just planted piles do not apply fertilizer, do not use base fertilizer, generally wait for a few months after survival to give a little bit, after autumn can give a little!

Price of bonsai of elm

The price of hammer elm bonsai mainly depends on the shape and size of the tree. Small saplings can buy a large handful of saplings for 10 yuan, but they need to be molded after planting good elm bonsai.

Bonsai investment is getting better and better.

Flower bonsai network guide: today, the flower bonsai network editor brings you an article about bonsai investment getting better and better. Let's take a look!

"alternative bonsai" is just around the corner! In the field of investment in the art market, today's bonsai market has sent investors a small number of cheap invitations to classics. ]

By Wen Shanshan, reporter of "well-off Caizhi"

As early as the dawn of dawn is Gao Shengbao, a bonsai master who lives in Chaoyang District, Beijing. His hundreds of square meters of courtyard is filled with different kinds of bonsai.

When summer comes, Mr. Gao will water his yard of bonsai twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. In addition to watering, pruning, crown trimming and fertilization must be done every day. These bonsai have been with him for more than 30 years. Mr. Gao said with a smile, "some bonsai are older than my children, and I spend more time with them than with my children." Mr. Ma Yiqun, a good friend in his circle, told reporters: "the most common bonsai in Lao Gao's family is at least tens of thousands, and tens or millions of excellent products will not be in the minority."

Bonsai investment is getting better and better. Bonsai business has existed since ancient times. As early as the Neolithic Age from 10,000 BC to 4000 BC, our ancestors planted plants into utensils for ornamental purposes. According to the existing archaeological and literature records, during the excavation of the Hemudu Neolithic site in Yutao County, Zhejiang Province, a piece of five-leaf pottery was found, with a square pottery basin engraved on it, and plants resembling evergreen were planted on it. Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters: "the bonsai of our country has had considerable development as far back as the Northern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, and it has been exported to neighboring countries or ethnic groups such as Turks at that time." In China, with the development of bonsai, bonsai investment has different temperatures in different historical periods. In modern times, for example, from World War II to the Cultural Revolution, bonsai was in a period of depression. After the 1970s, the development of bonsai in China gradually recovered. In 1979, the State Administration of Urban Construction hosted the first national "bonsai art exhibition" in Beijing since the founding of the people's Republic of China, displaying as many as 1100 bonsai pots. Since then, the Flower Bonsai Branch of the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture will hold a "Chinese Bonsai Evaluation Exhibition" every few years. Similar bonsai art exhibitions are held irregularly all over the country, which objectively promotes the continuous innovation and accelerated development of Chinese bonsai art on the basis of inheriting the tradition.

The 1990s was the heyday of Chinese bonsai art. Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters: "after the World Flower Expo, the scale of the fourth bonsai art exhibition has been very large. At this time, Chinese bonsai began to be exported." In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, Chinese bonsai always had the problem of immunity-in the customs, because the problems of plant quarantine and soil quarantine of bonsai could not be solved, Chinese bonsai has been kept in boudoir. After the 1990s, the development of soilless cultivation in China solved this problem. Mr. Gao introduced to the reporter: "every year, many tree species such as banyan and elm in Lingnan are exported to the Netherlands, the United States, Germany and many other countries." It can be said that up to now, China's bonsai can definitely be called world-famous. "

In the environment of the virtuous circle of bonsai development, bonsai investment is getting better and better. Such as Lingnan bonsai master Kong Taichu, Mo Mian Fu, Su Ren, Lu Xueming; Suzhou bonsai master Zhu Zi'an; Shanghai style bonsai master Yin Zimin and others have made varying degrees of innovation on the basis of inheriting the tradition of this school. In addition to appearing in the "Bonsai Art Exhibition", it is also sought after by buyers after the exhibition. Mr. Gao Shengbao won the gold medal in the bonsai competition for a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus bonsai. A South Korean buyer offered 580000 yuan. Mr. Gao said: "the development of bonsai is getting faster and faster in recent years. When I first entered the bonsai collection industry, this price was unthinkable."

The temptation of "value depression" Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters: "which financial crises have a great impact on the art market, and bonsai is no exception, but it is also for this reason that the overall value of the bonsai market is generally undervalued." it's a good time to invest. "

Compared with traditional calligraphy and painting, porcelain and other fields, the bonsai market has been in a relatively "blank" period. Due to the lack of extensive appreciation basis and professional skills to protect bonsai, the risk of bonsai investment is aggravated. Mr. Gao told reporters: "A friend of mine bought a bonsai worth more than one million yuan at a bonsai exhibition. Because he couldn't raise it, he died less than a month after returning home." Although the bonsai market was really popular in the 1990s, in view of this risk, many bonsai experts believe that contemporary bonsai art is relatively cheap, and there is no lack of room for appreciation.

Are there many bonsai artists nowadays? Are there many people playing bonsai now? Is the price of contemporary bonsai high enough? When we throw out these questions, the answers we get are basically no. These answers not only reveal the embarrassing situation of contemporary bonsai, but also send us a cheap invitation to enter the bonsai investment market. As we all know, history always belongs to the category of time. Art history also inspires us again and again: some of today's so-called unpopular arts are likely to become the traditional classics of tomorrow.

Mr. Gao Shengbao introduced to the reporter: "Chinese traditional culture divides bonsai into 'four products', that is, excellent, divine, exquisite and wonderful. The price of bonsai varies with different degrees. "

Although there are traditional criteria for measuring the quality of bonsai, according to personal preferences, if you pay attention to personalization when collecting investment bonsai, it is sometimes more likely to appreciate than mechanically. Mr. Gao told the reporter: "I think as long as it is a tree species that can make bonsai, if it has ornamental value in proportion and tree shape; it can also be put on the pot; after artificial processing, it can fully show the author's personal thoughts and feelings." it is an alternative bonsai that is really worth investing in by investors. "

Let's look for your alternative bonsai plan from the following scene. SCENE 1: price bonsai is a very artistic variety, because bonsai has not yet entered the auction company, the value of contemporary bonsai is very vague, pricing is naturally very difficult. But for the artistic value of bonsai, there are also the most basic traditional criteria. Mr. Gao Shengbao introduced to the reporter: "first of all, pile wood, that is, tree species, which is the most basic factor that determines the price of bonsai." For example, it is also pile wood, one is elm and the other is pine. When plastic arts are equal, the price of pine must be higher than that of elm. " The south pays attention to pines and cypresses, the north pays attention to goose-eared juniper, elm, bauhinia and so on. At present, the most valuable pile materials are Taiwan hazelnut and yew. Because several kinds of trees are rare, the price of the tree species itself is very high. If you add in the artificial modeling and cultivation, the price at the time of sale is of course even higher. The second is pile age and basin age. The so-called pile age is the natural growth years of the tree species before the pot, and the basin age refers to the artificial growth years after the stump is put into the basin. Mr. Gao told reporters: "A pile that is a hundred years old cannot be compared with a pile that is a thousand years old. But no matter how long the pile age is, it won't be too valuable without it. For example, a 20-year-old bonsai is 80 years behind a 100-year-old one, and the artistic value of the two bonsai is of course very different. In this case, the price of bonsai will be very different. " The third is styling. The so-called bonsai modeling is to artificially create the growth characteristics of bonsai itself. In general, the shape of bonsai is cultivated naturally and artificially. Mr. Gao said, "for example, a bonsai shaped like an immortal must be better than one that looks like a stone, and the price will be higher." The development of bonsai modeling also keeps pace with the times. the contemporary bonsai is very different from the traditional bonsai in ancient times. at present, the more common and loved by investors are jungle bonsai, oblique dry bonsai, hanging bonsai and exploring sea bonsai. Finally, there is the scarcity of bonsai. Mr. Gao said: "for example, some scarce resources, coupled with the pot age and pile age are very long, such bonsai can be regarded as scarce resources, of course, the price is high." SCENE 2: investment advantages compared with the excessive hype in many categories in the art market in recent years, bonsai is a real unpopular art. In this case, it will certainly attract a lot of attention. Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters: "with the continuous development of the 'bonsai exhibition', the market prospect of bonsai in the future should be very good." Bonsai is more popular in the south than in the north. "there are many large bonsai museums in the south, but they are relatively rare in the north, especially in Beijing," Mr. Gao Shengbao told reporters. " At present, bonsai is still a potential market in the north. With the increasing popularity of the return of Sinology, some works of art loved by ancient literati are more and more favored by contemporary people. Bonsai art is a unique plastic art that combines ink painting and garden landscape. it not only represents the sentiment of literati, but also becomes an ideal miniature "paradise" in contemporary urban life. As there are only a few artists engaged in bonsai, there are very few excellent artists' works. In this case, if you have a discerning eye, you can buy excellent artist works, and under the premise that the collector's personal skills are relatively high, it is not a problem to double the price of bonsai.

SCENE 3: the appreciation space is different from many art categories, and the collection and investment of bonsai have certain particularities. Mr. Gao Shengbao told the reporter: "like calligraphy and painting, all you have to do is to protect it after you buy it home, such as moisture protection, sunscreen, etc., which is a very simple way of maintenance, such as porcelain and furniture." as long as it is done to maintain its integrity, do not touch, do not deform. But bonsai is different from them, it is a living work of art, if you can take good care of this kind of life, its appreciation space is unpredictable. " Collecting and investing in bonsai is actually a process of participating in bonsai creation. It can also be said that a good bonsai is a combination of the objective conditions of bonsai and the alternative creative spirit of collectors. Take Mr. Gao's "Harmony is precious" as an example. When he bought it for 30,000 yuan in the 1980s, it was just a bonsai of average artistic value. After 20 years of cultivation, Mr. Gao "grafted" his personal aesthetic taste to "harmony is precious". This kind of "grafting" of personal interest has directly increased the economic value of "harmony is precious" by nearly 20 times. In the process of bonsai investment, it is quite necessary to pay attention to personalization. The value of alternative bonsai investment must be more interesting and have more room for appreciation than fawning on the public.

Bonsai, the Art of decorating Space-- an exclusive interview with Mr. Mojia with the recognition of Chinese traditional culture and traditional garden culture, bonsai is being accepted more and more. At the same time, it is also a full affirmation of Mr. Mo's modest contribution to the revival of Chinese traditional culture. Not long ago, the Home Map Network conducted a special interview on the creativity, artistry and plasticity of Mo Yu's artistic conception of bonsai. The following is the full content of the exclusive interview with Mr. Mo Yu. Please appreciate it. Full interview: bonsai shows the existence of a kind of scenery and an abstract reappearance of the natural landscape. Through observation and association, people make all kinds of beauty in the natural landscape gather harmoniously in the bonsai creation. But is bonsai art too high and low for us ordinary people? Mr. Mo Yu, the literati landscape designer, not only showed us his beautiful bonsai works, but also taught us how to appreciate bonsai, how to match a bonsai in space, and how to make a beautiful bonsai by ourselves. Mo Fu's bonsai: you are already very famous in the garden community, and now you have caught our eyes. The small bonsai you designed and made is very fascinating. What attracted you to start bonsai design? Mo Yu: when traditional gardens were built in ancient times, there were not as many specialized landscape designers as there are now. When people do garden courtyard design, they are called gardeners. A gardener needs to have a lot of professionalism and knowledge in various fields, such as Kanyu (fengshui), planting trees, painting, poetry, horticulture, architecture, philosophy, craftsmen, mathematics, as well as coming to the construction site to stack mountains and rivers, plant plants, and so on. Bonsai making can be regarded as a required course for gardeners. If you don't understand bonsai production, you can't understand the relationship between mountains and water. If you want to become a master, you must know how to condense the natural landscape of the earth into a small bonsai. There are two main reasons why I started making bonsai. The first reason is that when I once participated in a bonsai exhibition, I saw that the bonsai exhibited were all high-end, extremely expensive, often hundreds of thousands or millions, which meant that bonsai could not be integrated into ordinary families and could only appear on a local scale. Ordinary people could not afford to consume, so that traditional Chinese culture could not flow. In the end, it is a pity that bonsai will become an exhibit in the history museum. The second reason is that I need to improve my design accomplishment. In bonsai, the spatial relationship between mountains and water and the idea of seeing the whole through a small part and seeing the big as the small are of great help to my design. Family Picture Network: your bonsai works are very poetic and picturesque. Seeing them is like reading an ancient poem. It is like a Chinese literati painting. There are poems and feelings in the paintings. What is your creative inspiration? Mo Yu: one way to create inspiration is to find it from poetry and understand it from traditional Chinese painting. Chinese poetry is three-dimensional, vitality and four-dimensional space, while traditional Chinese painting has artistic conception. In addition, my inspiration also comes from the materials I have collected for years of sightseeing. These images have been in my mind for many years and are constantly presented in the course of my creation. For example, when I go to Huangshan, Huangshan enables me to create countless bonsai, because it has many scenic spots in my mind; for example, when I go to Huashan, and Shidu and Pinggu, which are very close to Beijing, there are many beautiful pictures that will be preserved in my mind and presented one by one when needed. Usually said that a certain point triggered inspiration, that is only for graphic design, a bonsai production of people will use all the natural beauty of the earth to express through the art form. The mountains and rivers all over the world are enough for generations to create. Bonsai connoisseur: bonsai is very particular about the pattern, for your work, tell us how to appreciate a bonsai work of art? Mo Yu: to enjoy bonsai, you should first know that there is scenery in the basin, and then appreciate the shape of the plants. The power of nature can be felt through plant modeling, and the earth creates the peculiarity of all things. Then look at the shape of the stone, some of the stone is like layers of mountains, there are distant mountains and near mountains, creating bonsai is equivalent to taking a picture of nature. In the bonsai, there are mountains and water, beaches, rocks, and even cranes, fishermen and boats, which can liven up the sense of space, and every place can connect you into it. You feel as if you are in such an environment. To empathize with the beauty of nature. Bonsai is a natural work of art, is the beauty of nature to attract your attention, you do not need to think. It is three-dimensional, let you instantly integrate into it, as if you heard the flow of water, fishermen's songs, crane song Songtao and so on, it is a dynamic four-dimensional three-dimensional works of art. Family map network: teacher Mo Jie is a landscape designer. He should know a lot about the habits of all kinds of plants. Can you recommend some bonsai that are easier to raise? Mo Yu: there are too many bonsai that are easy to raise, such as Luohansong and Luohanzhu, and elm, cypress, asparagus, orchid, red maple, ginkgo, pomegranate and so on. The point I want to say is that all plants will be nurtured as long as you keep them with your heart, because plants and people have the same life and emotion, and if you are kind to it, it will show you a sunny spring and brilliant scenery. Bonsai and space family map network: bonsai has always been a favorite of Yashi, and it is also a good green plant for decorating the house, but Chinese bonsai is even more a work of art. What do you think is the relationship between bonsai and space? Mo Yu: bonsai is a point through which we hope to achieve the function of people's spiritual practice and self-cultivation. Bonsai can be transformed into artistic conception, which can edify people's state of mind. It is also a work of art, it is not like traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, carving, antiques, ceramics, iron, copper, bonsai this kind of work of art is vitality, is constantly changing. With the changes of the seasons throughout the year, plants will also change, for example, the leaves of the elm should fall, the leaves of the red maple sometimes turn red and sometimes green, and the bamboo is always changing. Through this ever-changing point to form vitality and transformed into space, giving people a different feeling, so that people and the scene resonate with each other within the scope of space. Family map network: many people are a little confused, bonsai is a traditional Chinese art, but now most of our home space is modern, is there a contradiction? Is bonsai only suitable for Chinese-style space? Mo Yu: this is a wrong idea. As long as people on earth will love nature, bonsai is a concentration of nature, which has nothing to do with style and space, but the difference is that they may occasionally choose their own basin in the process of choosing a basin, not in the difference of the scenery. Because people of any nation and country love nature, we just extract the beauty of nature. It is not only the product of China, but also the product of the whole world. The Taoist idea of "nature creates all things" is to depict a state of mind of doing nothing and to understand the way of nature through bonsai. Family map network: what kind of impact will bonsai have on space, and what are the benefits of putting bonsai at home? Mo Yu: putting a piece of bonsai at home will make people feel happy. Bonsai is made from a combination of stones and plants, which is good for human health. Stones emit a magnetic field, which is conducive to improving people's body and mind, while plants are positive and can regulate the aura and fengshui indoors, which is conducive to the transformation of the aura in the space environment. Its advantage is that it can change small fengshui and big fengshui, small fengshui can change indoor breath and magnetic field; big fengshui can change inner state and make people happy, at the same time, under the regulation of magnetic field and breath, people's heart can calm down. The heart born of "one should have no place to live" is meditation, purity, kindness, love and sincerity. DIY bonsai family map network: if there are conditions, can we DIY a bonsai at home? what tools and materials do we need to prepare? Mo Yu: DIY a bonsai first needs to choose a basin. There are many kinds of pots, including pottery pots, porcelain pots and so on. Secondly, we should choose stones. There are also many kinds of stones, such as green dragon stone, Yingde stone, Huangshan stone, shui Chong stone, pebbles and so on, as well as plants. Plants are divided into evergreen and deciduous ones. Evergreen plants are Luohan pine, Luohan bamboo, cypress, deciduous plants are hammer elm, pomegranate, ginkgo and so on. In addition, there are also need soil, there are all kinds of nutrient soil on the market, you can also cultivate some of your own. Do not wear gloves when making bonsai, let your hands communicate directly with the soil, which is conducive to nourishing the spleen and stomach. Family map network: teacher Mo Jie is a landscape designer. He should know a lot about the habits of all kinds of plants. Can you recommend some bonsai that are easier to raise? Mo Yu: there are too many bonsai that are easy to raise, such as Luohansong and Luohanzhu, and elm, cypress, asparagus, orchid, red maple, ginkgo, pomegranate and so on. The point I want to say is that all plants will be nurtured as long as you keep them with your heart, because plants and people have the same life and emotion, and if you are kind to it, it will show you a sunny spring and brilliant scenery. Mr. Mo Yun, named Guo Liwen, Luling person, well-known landscape designer, senior cultural person, artistic conception bonsai artist. Growing up in a garden family, he loved nature, plants and good exercise books from an early age, learned from sages and ancient craftsmen, worshiped nature as a teacher, and absorbed natural culture by the way of literati self-cultivation and spiritual cultivation. Over the years, he has devoted himself to reviving Chinese traditional garden culture and classical bonsai art, creating a life and spiritual artistic conception of bonsai with silent poetry and three-dimensional painting.
