How to make and maintain Sabina vulgaris bonsai

The cuttage propagation of Sabina vulgaris is a cost-effective way of reproduction, so it is often used. The bonsai production of cypress is relatively simple. Let's learn it together.

The cutting technique of Sabina vulgaris

Shoot cutting method: in the middle and last ten days of July, the leafy branches of the same year were selected as cuttings, which were 10-15 cm long, and all the needles at the base of 2-3 cm were removed. Cut new stubble from the base of the cuttings with a blade, quickly dip it in 500ppm naphthalene acetic acid solution, and then cut it on the sand bed. The density is 6 × 6 cm and the depth is 3 cm.

Post-insertion management: after insertion, use No. 8 lead wire or steel bar to support an arch frame every 40 meters across the bed, the vault is about 50 meters from the bed surface, covered with plastic film, and pressed tightly with bricks. A spraying device is installed in the shed, and a Reed curtain is covered on the shed to shade; the temperature in the shed should be kept below 35 ℃, and water should be sprayed to cool down when it exceeds 35 ℃. The relative humidity of the air in the shed should be more than 85%, and the moisture should be replenished in time when it is low. The cuttings began to take root in 30-40 days, and the general survival rate was more than 95%.

Transplanting method: dig a hole of 40 cm × 40 cm × 50 cm before planting, put the seedlings into the hole, fill the soil to 2 / 3, gently lift the seedlings, then step on them with your feet, fill the soil until the pit is full, step on it again, pour water thoroughly, and after 6-10 days, pour water again and seal the pit. The survival rate is more than 90%.

Bonsai production and maintenance of Sabina vulgaris

Select basin: different bowls should be selected according to different shapes, purple sand should be used in cliff type, and the main root should be longer to bear the pulling force of most branches and leaves hanging out of the basin; curved dry type can use oval purple sand basin or glazed pottery basin; oblique dry type, horizontal dry type with rectangular purple sand shallow basin is better to show the graceful appearance of tree trunks.

Pots: the seedlings that survived were planted in pots the following spring. It can be used as miniature bonsai in about 3 years and miniature bonsai in about 5 years. According to the shape of the young tree, it is necessary to make a preliminary shape in the cultivation. Buy more than 10-year-old potted cypress, make up the composition after watching the tree, cut off the branches that are not needed for modeling, plant them in a more fertile culture soil, and carry out preliminary flat modeling while cultivating. Generally cultivated for 2 to 3 years, medium and large bonsai can be made.

Shape: Sabina vulgaris branches are thin and long, and soft, suitable for cliff type, qu dry type, horizontal dry type and all kinds of birds, animals and other animal forms. Cypress modeling should be more flat binding, less pruning, flat binding material can be used wire, can also be used brown wire, the general outline of flat binding completed, according to the needs of modeling, should be short twigs or cut off from the base. Sabina vulgaris is generally bound for about 2 years before it can be finalized, and the branches are often restored to their original state if they are removed prematurely. After shaping, the wire should be removed in time, because the banding time is too long, the wire is too deep into the branch, which is not only disadvantageous to the plant growth, but also the trace is not beautiful, it takes about two years to eliminate the trace. The branches and leaves of Sabina vulgaris bonsai are mostly processed into clouds or natural ones.

Maintenance: the cypress likes to be wet, but the basin can not accumulate water, in addition to watering the basin, but also appropriate to the maintenance site to sprinkle water, less watering in winter. The bonsai of Sabina vulgaris which has been formed should not use too much fertilizer, but should be applied once a month in the growing season. When the spring and autumn sun is not too strong, put the cypress bonsai under the sun for maintenance. When the summer weather is hot and hot, the cypress bonsai should be placed in a semi-shaded place or in a shade shed. The winter room temperature is about 5 ℃ to survive the winter safely.

All right, that's all about cypress, whether it's cypress or other cypress, they all have the dual effects of garden application and bonsai shaping, so the cypress family is also a very powerful family.
