Next, the editor of the net will tell you about the red sandalwood potted plant.

How to raise red sandalwood in pot and its growing environment

Lobular sandalwood root system is developed and nodule, can fix nitrogen, the soil requirements are not strict, but for high-yield forest should choose fertile land, plenty of sunshine. The afforestation is from March to May, and all localities should make corresponding adjustments according to the rainy season. The afforestation effect is good with container seedlings 30-40 cm high. If the seedlings are too high, they should be cut off and then afforested. The planting hole is 50-50-30 cm, with calcium-magnesium-phosphorus compound fertilizer as base fertilizer, about 250 grams per hole, and the plant-row spacing is 2-2 meters. 2: tending and management of young forests, strengthen forest protection, forbid grazing. Compound fertilizer was applied twice a year, each time 200 grams per plant, weeding and straightening the tree trunk before fertilization in the first three years. 3: the main pests control anthracnose and nevoid disease easily in seedling stage and young trees (the leaves turn black after discoloration). It can be controlled with 100 Bordeaux solution or 1000-fold solution of carbendazim, and trichlorfon can be used to control leaf-eating pests such as golden flower insects and beetles. In addition, lobular sandalwood likes hot and humid climate, the annual average temperature is more than 25 degrees, the extreme minimum temperature is 2 degrees, and the annual precipitation is 1100-2200MM. The seedlings are easy to freeze when the temperature is lower than 3 degrees. It is not tolerant to shade, blossom and bear fruit 6-8 years after planting, flowering from April to May and fruiting from September to October.

It likes strong light, the most suitable temperature is 20 Murray 30 degrees, the lowest can be in 2 degrees. I like to grow in a humid and hot climate. Due to the lack of bonsai soil, pay attention to go out can not cut off water. The principle of watering is to see dry and wet, and often loosen the soil. It is very important to control the size of the tree. Methods such as pinching and pruning can be used to keep the tree. Apply liquid fertilizer every two months.

The appreciation method of bonsai potted plants is similar to that of decorated natural trees, but the appreciation of potted plants is a close look. Therefore, the overall appearance of the potted plant needs to be in line with the natural tree appearance, and you can tell what kind of tree it is at a glance. Therefore, when creating, we should not only fully express the personality of the tree species, but also pay more attention to the details of the roots, stems and branches. The best viewing point of potted vision is at 1/2 of the height of the tree, which is the same as the eye, the crown tilts slightly forward, and the feeling of looking up slightly when viewing can show the appearance of a giant tree. The appreciation method of potted plant can be divided into two aspects: one is to divide the potted tree into several parts to appreciate; the other is to divide the potted tree into indoor, outdoor and exhibition parts to appreciate. Ornamental potted beauty of various factors: ornamental potted beauty, can be divided into root, clue, stem, branch, leaf, crown, flower, fruit, pot to appreciate. First, for the harmony between the root disk and the potted tree, the left and right size of the root plate should be twice as large as that of the frontal dry base. The stretching state of the root disk is an important factor in the sense of stability of the tree, and the thick and thin bifurcations of the roots can best show the sense of age of pot culture. The stretching state of the root is called "spreading the root", and the shape of the spreading root is as follows: the octagonal spreading root is the most ideal type of root in the pot. The perimeter of the root self-drying extends in all directions on average, the front is longer on the left and right, and the front is shorter, so it is the best root disk for straight and curved stem. One-sided spreading root main root single-sided or double-sided drag growth. Suitable for oblique dry, cliff tree type. After the square root disk and the octagonal root plate are developed, they are knotted together to form a rocky root called Pungen. With a sense of weight, age and wild interest, it is the giant wood phase that can best express the sense of antiquity, and it is also the common root plate of banyan tree and Tang maple. The state of exposing the roots to the surface of the ground due to the loss of sand. It is suitable for showing the inclined surface of high mountains, as well as the tree posture that survives the harsh environment such as coast and riverside. The roots of young trees are buried in the soil. After years of sunlight and erosion by Rain Water, the old roots gradually emerge from the ground and become barren and curved, and become part of the trunk to balance and stabilize the whole tree. Therefore, according to this natural phenomenon, when replanting potted trees, make the soil surface slightly higher than the basin surface, so that the root can slightly reveal the soil surface, which will make the root more beautiful and more beautiful. The part of the potted plant from the root to the first branch of the trunk is called "dry base", also known as "head". The ideal upright shape is to form a strong trumpet state, gradually moving to the tree trunk. Therefore, the lower part of the root disk should be thick, and the more toward the top of the tree, the smaller and smaller. It is best to have ups and downs, rich changes, but also the top grade. This part is not covered by branches and leaves, so the wound should be avoided. Second, the trunk can be said to be the most important support part of the whole tree structure, and it is the most factor that determines the shape of the whole body, and it is best to work alone. The stem must be fully coordinated with the branches and leaves in order to show the characteristics of the tree species. Pine, maple, maple leaves are rigid and sharp, the stem should be soft and curved, soft inside and outside; conversely, if the real cypress leaves are soft and beautiful, there should be strong twisting changes in the stem, just inside and soft outside. The necessary conditions for good drying (1) the lower part of the trunk should be thick and smooth. (2) it is better to have no scars, slightly rounded, or with a clear line with the root disc. If there is a wound, you should be able to avoid the front. (3) the stem should be irregularly curved and flow smoothly and naturally. Barren skin can better show the antique style of potted plants. (4) the thickness of the trunk should be reconciled with the tree height. The shape of the trunk (dry) is round, twisted, shellytrunk (the trunk is cracked and the bark is peeled off to reveal the white ossification of the xylem, this kind of trunk is highly valued), tumor trunk, thick bark trunk, brocade trunk, god (the top or branches of the tree naturally wither like bones). The shape and structure of the trunk are related to the quality of the whole, so it must be strictly required and paid attention to. A good dry must have big changes and small flow bends. The shortcomings of this work are described as follows: s-shaped stem is stereotyped, S-shaped regular curve, no sense of force, vulgar, should be avoided. In the double trunk, the deputy trunk is larger than the trunk. Tumor stem changes in the middle of the stem, local swelling and tumorigenesis, a kind of plant morbid, hindering the gallbladder. The change of the reverse dry is reversed and unnatural, without a sense of stability and strength. Frog foot dry double trunk tree joint into a round obtuse angle, also known as "surrender dry". The trunk of the pigeon breast is as curved as the chest of the pigeon bird, unable to express the sense of force. The above six kinds of work should be avoided. Third, the shape of the branch must be coordinated with the root plate and stem, and the width of the branch should be six to eight times the length of the dry base. The internodes should be short, and those with dense twigs are of high grade. At the same time, it is necessary to create according to the natural branches of the tree species in order to express its characteristics. The branches are short in front and long in back, the thicker the lower branches are, and the finer the upper branches are, the best, but the occasional appearance of rough branches on the top can also show rough game. Miscellaneous trees usually grow at 45 degrees and often grow several branches from the same place; the height of the tree stops growing until it grows into an ancient tree. When creating, fine-tune and droop the end of the branch. In pot posture, cutting unused branches is called "picking branches". The shape of the potted tree is triangular, oval, oval and semicircular according to the tree species, and the first branch below is the most harmonious at one-third of the height of the tree. The upper branch should not be cut to the same length as the lower branch, it should be of different length and thickness in order to better show the ancient spirit of the potted plant. The changes of branches are complex, and there are many taboos, so we should pay special attention to pruning and posture. The front branch should be short and the back should be long in order to show a three-dimensional sense of depth; the front branch should lean slightly to the left and right so as not to cause a sense of pressure; the branch should not cover up the changes in the stem, and the branch point should also be explained clearly, if it is looming, it is easy to arouse the viewer's association. Fourth, leaves in addition to deciduous cold trees on display in a naked posture, generally potted plants are visually appreciated, and leaves account for a large portion, so the requirements for leaves should be cautious. Special attention should be paid to the selection of material varieties, because the characteristics of leaves can not be shaped and changed by management technology. Those whose leaves are small, solitary, flat and have seasonal color changes are more popular in ornamental. Leaves should be balanced with roots, trunks and branches in perfect proportion. Fifth, the top part of the tree stem is also the growing point of the plant, also known as the "crown". The shape, size, density and position of the crown have a great influence on the appreciation angle and stability of the whole potted tree. The crown of the tree should lean forward slightly 15 degrees and look up slightly in order to show its huge image. Flowers are the most beautiful parts of plants, which are loved by everyone, and different flowers symbolize different meanings. The beautiful and faint fragrance of the design and color makes people refreshing when appreciating. If the festive occasion can be planted in a flowerpot, how much lively atmosphere can be added; if there are potted flowers on the site, it will appear lively and lively. The size of the flower should be reconciled with the size of the pot tree, otherwise even the beautiful flowers will lose their character. It is best to be full blooming, and the flowering period should be long, the color of the flowers should be fresh and varied. 7. The fruit symbolizes the continuation of life and the harvest of hard work, which brings people a great sense of satisfaction when they appreciate it. Potted flowers and fruits have always played an ingenious role in the potting of sketches. After the flowers fade, the fruit begins to bear, and gradually becomes larger, the best size can be reconciled with the potted tree, and can remain on the tree for a long time; there are many fruits, color changes, for viewing. Occasionally plant a few edible fruit trees potted, not only for viewing, but also enjoy the fruits of their own efforts, why not? Eighth, the appreciation of the basin mainly lies in whether it can be reconciled with the potted trees to form an overall sense of beauty. Therefore, with tree species, tree type, tree age and tree nature, it is necessary to choose pots with different colors, shapes, sizes and textures in order to complement each other. Potted plant is an art of life worth promoting. Therefore, the beauty of potted art can be shared by integrating potted plants into daily life in their own indoor, outdoor or external exhibitions. Potted room appreciation in the home wall color is lighter, blank larger place, such as porch, living room, fireplace and low table, decorate pleasing potted plants, and illuminate it with light. In its decoration and appreciation, there are many places to pay attention to: tables decorated: tables with different shapes, textures, sizes and colors are selected according to the category of potted plants, such as flowers and fruits, miscellaneous trees and young and thin-dried potted plants and grasses, in addition to using thin tables such as red sandalwood and rosewood, they can also be decorated on tables made of bamboo frames or natural tree roots, while pines and cypresses and strong tree species use hard and rugged tables such as red sandalwood and rosewood. As for the shape of the table, there are squares, circles, rectangles, etc., as well as landing and desk, which can be determined according to the shape of the pot tree. Location of decoration: large and medium-sized potted plants are placed in a larger place, and if their flow direction and branches are on the left, they should be placed on the right side of the table; on the left, decorative grasses are placed slightly in front of the table, so that there is a sense of harmony. In the festive banquet, pine and cypress can be used as the main wood, accompanied by miscellaneous trees, decorated with grass or bamboo, elegant stone, etc., placed on the table or on several shelves. The way to decorate the sketch potted plant is to put the sketch potted plant on the pot decoration shed with different styles and suitable size, and put it in the appropriate place indoors, so as to show its lovely and elegant taste. Attached stones can be decorated on several shelves or flat tables, and then equipped with some grasses. Usually the grass is fine and soft, not too large, so as not to dominate the host. Hanging branches big cliff, semi-cliff decoration on the high table, branches drooping, placed under the table woodland, weeds and water stones, elegant and elegant, do not have a style. If the potted plant is decorated in the room, it must be placed at the height of 1/2 parallel to the eye when standing. On desks, wine cabinets and Changji, potted plants are placed at a place where the viewing point is about equal to the height of the eyes when sitting. The most noteworthy thing about indoor appreciation is that it should not be kept for too long, limited to three days, and spray more leaf water. The cold and warm room should not exceed one day, lest the leaves evaporate too quickly and become dehydrated, especially the trees with new buds and hot summer, so as not to hurt the potted trees. Potted outdoor appreciation potted plants are placed on a pot rack made of wood, cement board or cement frame on the courtyard or balcony. When arranging potted plants on the pot rack, the larger ones are arranged at the back and the smaller ones at the front. Potted plants should not be arranged too neatly, and there should be layers between size and height in order to have a sense of distance. For example, beside the majestic green pine trees, you can add Jiaoyue maple maple, naked cold trees, flowers and fruits, or place elegant stones and lining grass; or use Tao Zi to form a shallow water plate, on which stone-attached stones and sketch potted plants can be placed. If you want to enjoy it at night, you can install lights to watch with your family and best friends at night. Planting of sandalwood bonsai

Sandalwood bonsai is divided into root bonsai and whole bonsai, because the general sandalwood is more than ten meters high, which is not suitable for indoor bonsai culture, in which the steamed whole bonsai is only suitable for red sandalwood, so the red sandalwood bonsai with leaves is mostly red sandalwood bonsai.

The red sandalwood bonsai with leaves is not very spoiled, as long as it is experienced in bonsai management, while the red sandalwood bonsai at the root is very special and requires extra care. Now we will mainly introduce the matters needing attention in the cultivation of rosewood bonsai.

Most of the sandalwood bonsai on the market are devitalized sandalwood root materials, and the aroma will disappear after a period of time, and even deteriorate under long-term humid conditions. the sandalwood that has not lost its vitality can still grow under careful care and emit a long-lasting fragrance.

Because sandalwood is a semi-parasitic tropical plant, according to its biological characteristics, sandalwood bonsai conservation should pay attention to several key points: 1. Maintain host plants to provide nutrition for sandalwood; 2. The host plant should be pruned frequently so as not to rob the host. Ensure plenty of sunshine; 4. Do not water too much, "dry and wet"; 5. Timely fertilization; 6. Pay attention to ventilation, maintain a certain humidity, and spray regularly to prevent disease, especially when the season changes, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of powdery mildew.

Because a single sandalwood is monotonous, other potted plants can be planted with it. For example, Rohan pine and sandalwood are a wonderful combination. Among them, the principle of co-planting is that those who are beneficial to each other should be given priority, that they should not interfere with each other, and that those who are harmful to each other should not be allowed. And try to select plants growing in tropical and subtropical climate, can survive on the same soil, light-loving plants are preferred.

Many people think that the strong aroma of sandalwood will have an impact on human health, but it is not. Sandalwood itself is a medicinal plant, heartwood has a long history as medicine; and the young leaves of sandalwood can be processed into sandalwood tea for people to drink; sandalwood has also been used as a good spice. Therefore, the aroma of sandalwood itself will not harm the human body.
