Avoid indoor temperature too high, should not be placed in extremely wet or extremely dry indoor-in very humid environment, some wood carving handicrafts will grow "hair" Some parts of the environment that are too dry may crack.

Maintenance method of Taxus root carving

1. Lighting: many people will mistakenly put the yew root carving in the sun. in fact, this is fatal to the yew root carving, because there is still water inside the root carving, and the direct sunlight will destroy the water balance in the root carving and cause the root carving to crack. On the other hand, there is generally a protective wax layer or oil layer on the surface of the root carving of the yew, and the direct sunlight will destroy its structure and lose its protective effect. Therefore, direct sunlight will not only reduce the appreciation of the root sculpture, but also shorten the life of the root sculpture.

2. Temperature: the influence of temperature on the root carving of yew is mainly reflected in the two cases of high temperature and drastic changes in temperature. the effect of high temperature is similar to that of direct sunlight, which will destroy the protective layer on the surface of the root carving and the internal water balance. drastic changes in temperature will make the root carving structure expand and shrink in a short time, resulting in structural damage, but also affect the root carving life.

3. Humidity: the influence of humidity on yew root carving is also divided into two kinds. One is that the humidity is too low, such as an air-conditioned room. Too dry environment will make the root carving lose its water balance and appear to be very fragile. In this case, it is best to place a plate of water next to the root carving to increase humidity. Another situation is that the humidity is too high, for example, close to the toilet, too high humidity will breed bacteria and other organisms and cause root carving mold to be corroded, so make sure that the indoor humidity is not too high and oil the roots frequently.

4. Cleaning: the root carvings placed at home will be covered with indoor dust, so they need to be cleaned frequently, but the cleaning methods are fastidious, and the tools for wiping cannot use wet rags or rough rags. Use a soft and clean cotton dishcloth to gently clean the dust on its surface, and oil and wax its surface after cleaning. Because after the completion of the carving process, the yew root carving is usually coated with a layer of walnut oil and wax to protect the root carving from external damage to a certain extent.
