How to make and maintain triangular plum bonsai?

Triangular plum is also known as bauhinia and rhododendron. Its rattan stem grows rapidly, its branches are resistant to pruning, it is easy to form, and the florescence is long. In the southern region, the graceful triangular plum stump is often used to make bonsai. The axillary bud of the new branch is obvious, which is beneficial to pruning, and the old branch lurks many adventitious buds with strong germinating ability. after being cut off, it can promote the adventitious bud and sprout irregular buds. When cutting off the stem, it should be longer properly, and after setting the bud, it can be cut off for the second time.

Choose graceful dry branches, small and medium-sized stem branches with a diameter of 3mm and 15cm with a large diameter of 8m. First, it is conceived and cut off according to the shape of the tree trunk, which is made into straight thousand type or oblique dry type, curved dry type, cliff type and so on. Generally cut off thousands of triangular plum stumps to form a naked dry, and then trim the overlong roots, cut flat and dig up the broken roots.

The billet can be cultivated in the culture basin in the first year, such as planting in April, selective buds and fixed buds in May, climbing modeling for some semi-lignified branches in June, and then climbing modeling for selected semi-lignified branches one by one. Note that climbing should be carried out on a sunny day, and proper water control should be carried out for 2 days before climbing, so that the moisture of the branches is reduced, easy to bend and not easy to break. When climbing, the branches are bent by winding the branches with soft aluminum wire, or the branches are twisted to form floating branches, drooping branches or falling branches.

After twisted modeling, it is easy to promote lateral buds to form lateral branches, and then fasten the lateral branches so that they can be shaped within 1 year and molded in 2 years. The molding time can be shortened by adopting this kind of modeling technique of cutting off stem and growing branches.

The stump of Prunus mume is suitable to be shaped by cutting and storing branches, which can be pruned all the year round in the south and pruned in spring and summer in the north. After pruning, the stump can sprout new buds at any time, and the new buds grow fast, which is beneficial to branch storage.

After the stump is cut off and put into the basin, it can be maintained directly in a sunny place. Water once during the first planting, then dry watering later, and watering once a day when new buds and branches grow. Plenty of sunshine can make the new branches thrive after being cut off.

During the period of branch cultivation, sufficient fertilizer should be supplied, and nitrogen is the main fertilizer. At flowering stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was applied once. If you want to let the triangle plum blossom, it is necessary to restrict water and fertilizer in advance, and promote flowering through water control, fertilizer control and adequate light. The shaped triangular plum should not be fertilized too much to avoid overgrowth and affect the tree type.

Triangular plum is not cold-resistant, when the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, you should pay attention to avoid the cold, otherwise the leaves will be frozen.

Occasionally, wood-eating bark beetles eat branches, dry phloem and xylem, resulting in broken branches and stems. When a pest is found, a fine wire can be used to stab directly along the mouth of the pest until the wire is wet and the pest is stabbed to death. 1000 times of dichlorvos can also be injected into the insect mouth with a syringe, and the insect mouth can be blocked with cotton soaked in the above solution.

How to make triangular plum bonsai method of making triangular plum bonsai

Triangular plum bonsai has unique shape, luxuriant branches and leaves, bright colors and high ornamental value. Put a pot of triangular plum bonsai at home, which is very pleasing to the eye. Today, wed114's wedding editor will introduce how to make triangular plum bonsai.

How to make triangular plum bonsai

Triangular plum bonsai production is relatively easy, according to the situation of potted triangular plum, can be made into single pole type, double pole type, inclined rod type, curved rod type, horizontal pole type, water drought type, facing water type, cliff type, pagoda type, flower basket type and other different shapes.

The modeling method of triangular plum bonsai is mainly pruning, supplemented by binding. For young trees, flat binding can be carried out according to the needs of modeling, and several triangular plums of different varieties can be planted together according to the needs.

The following editor introduces several methods of making triangular plum bonsai in detail.

Flower basket type: that is, under the premise of trimming the triangular plum into a large plane, each leaving a 500-600mm long branch at the opposite corner of the triangular plum plane, the triangular plum branches are gently bent inward, overlapping at 100-200mm, and tied together to form a flower basket carrying beam, and the basket-like triangular plum bonsai is completed.

Pagoda style: cut off all the side branches of triangular plum, leaving only one or three upright branches upward, if three must be tied or woven together, wait for it to grow to the ideal height, cut off the top, make it sprout lateral buds, according to the interval of 400-500mm, remove the excess buds, forming a multi-tower type.

Cliff style: is the use of binding, so that part of the branches of triangulated plum droop, shaped like a cliff. The cliff-style triangular plum bonsai is finished.

Different kinds of butt grafting method

Several triangular plums are planted in the same basin, the branches are separated by three centimeters, and after normal growth, they are tied up with wires with plastic skin at the appropriate height (depending on the shape). After the triangulated plum growth is fixed, the outer skin of the plant branch joint is cut off with a knife, and the cambium is aligned with the cambium.

The triangular plum branches after the festival are still tied up (the wound is protected from rain and watering), and the thread is removed after the growth is firmly formed. Depending on the following parts can be regarded as the root, can be bent according to their own needs, can also match the stone to form a root boulder. Strengthen the management, grow a lot of branches by connecting the above parts, prune according to the intention, and subtract the excess branches.

Trim trimmed plum branches should not be blindly pruned, there should be an overall bonsai style concept. After pruning the remaining branches for further flat modeling, with the passage of time, the following parts will form a new trunk, but the surface will be rough, will be more vigorous and simple.

Maintenance method of Triangle Plum Bonsai

Sun exposure: triangular plum is a plant that likes high temperature and strong sunshine. Triangular plum bonsai should always be placed in a sunny place. Plenty of sunshine is conducive to the growth and flowering of triangular plums. After strong sunshine treatment, the triangular plum bonsai has short branches, full growth, large number of flowers, deep color and long flowering period.

Timely pruning: the growth period of triangular plum is long and the growth rate is fast. Only through timely pruning and coring can the plant shape be fixed and maintained. Picking the heart will help triangular plum bonsai to promote new technology and blossom more. Pruning of triangular plum bonsai is generally carried out in spring and summer. Pruning after mid-August will affect flowering and should not be carried out again. Triangular plum bonsai needs to be trimmed off the inner bore branches, weak branches, only long school, cross branches and so on.

Strict water control: Triangle plum should begin to control water 5 weeks before flowering (that is, about mid-August). After watering once, wait for the leaves and buds to droop before watering. It was treated repeatedly until the embryonic form of flowers appeared in the axils of the leaves at the end of the branch, and then gradually returned to normal watering. Buckling water increased the concentration of bonsai cell fluid, thus promoting the differentiation and formation of flower buds.

Proper fertilization: triangulated plum is very sensitive to urea, such as the period of fertilization, improper proportion, may produce triangular plum bonsai luxuriant leaves and few flowers, therefore, urea should be particularly cautious. The summer temperature is high, Rain Water is many, the plant is easy to grow, can not only apply urea, can be applied to some fertilizer made from waste vegetables retting.

When possible, 0.2-0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be used as foliar topdressing, once every half a month. Triangle plum bonsai flower branch still needs to be applied once at the initial stage of flower branch growth, which is beneficial to the flower branch growth.

Conclusion: the above is the method of making triangular plum bonsai introduced by the editor. we have also enjoyed so many pictures of triangular plum bonsai and learned how to make triangular plum bonsai and try to make a triangular plum bonsai at home to please your body and mind. I hope the editor's introduction will be helpful to you.

Bonsai cultivation techniques and maintenance methods of triangular plum bonsai

Triangular plum habits, triangular plum like warm and humid climate, not cold-resistant, more than 3 ℃ can safely survive the winter, more than 15 ℃ before flowering. Like plenty of light. Lax requirements on the soil, in good drainage, mineral-rich clay loam in good growth, barren resistance, alkali resistance, drought resistance, avoid stagnant water, resistant to pruning. The leaf flower is native to Brazil in South America, but it was not cultivated in Europe until about the 1930s, and now it is cultivated all over China. It likes warm, humid, sunny environment and is not resistant to cold. Except in the south of China, it can be cultivated in open field and overwintering, and other areas need pot and greenhouse cultivation. Sandy loam with good drainage is the most suitable for soil. Leaf flowers are often propagated by cuttings, and it is easy to raise seedlings. In May and June, mature woody branches, 20 cm long, are inserted into a sand basin, covered with glass and kept moist. They can take root in about a month and blossom in two years.

Triangular plum bonsai culture method 1, basin selection: triangular plum soil requirements are not strict, resistant to barren drought, avoid stagnant water. It is better to use sandy soil rich in humus, loose, fertile and permeable, and avoid using clay. When potted, a portion of rotten leaf soil, peat soil, sandy soil and garden soil can be used, and a small amount of rotten cake residue can be added as base fertilizer to prepare culture soil. 2. Temperature: the suitable temperature for growth is 15 ℃ 30 ℃, of which 19 ℃ is from May to September and 13 ℃ from October to April of the following year. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃ in summer, shading or water spraying, ventilation and other measures should be taken properly, and the ambient temperature of no less than 5 ℃ should be maintained in winter. The temperature for flowering is more than 15 ℃. In order to prolong the flowering period, it should be moved into the room for maintenance in time before the arrival of the cold spell at the beginning of winter. 3. Illumination: triangulated plums are happy to shine. Lack of light in the growing season will lead to plant growth weakness, affecting pregnant buds and flowering. Therefore, seedlings in addition to new pots should be placed in the semi-shade all the year round. Winter should be placed in front of the southward window, and the lighting time should not be less than 8 hours, otherwise a large number of fallen leaves are easy to appear. Short-day flowers, the daily light time is controlled at about 9 hours, triangle plum will bud and blossom in a month and a half. 3. Using soil: the growth rate of Prunus mume is fast, the root system is developed, there are many whisker roots, and the pot needs to be changed once a year. Due to long-term watering, fertilization and Rain Water erosion, the basin soil is easy to harden and needs to be loosened regularly and weeds are removed at the same time. Otherwise, basin soil hardening and stagnant water will easily lead to root rot or poor growth of Prunus mume. 4. Select varieties such as double scarlet, Yijin, orange yellow, mosaic red, silver edge white, single green leaf water red, orange red, cherry red, etc., which can bloom 2-3 batches of flowers a year in Hangzhou. 5. Cuttage propagation and breeding of seedlings: miniature bonsai triangular plum is quick and convenient to propagate with cuttage. In Hangzhou, the selection section is short from May to June, the diameter is 0.3-1cm annual Lignification or semi-Lignification branch, the cuttings are 6-8cm with 3-4 nodes, the front two leaves (or half leaves) are retained and inserted into the matrix after sterilization, moisturizing and light maintenance, fertilization outside the root for about 20 days, and strong light exercise gradually after rooting. After cutting for 45-60 days, a small amount of matrix was moved into the micro-basin as early as possible, and the seedlings were delayed for 2-3 days to enter the routine management. Miniature triangular plum seedlings can also directly look for small stakes of perennial dwarf branches, pruning roots and pruning on the basin, and can also be obtained by bagging and high-pressure propagation of zigzag old branches. 6. Objectives and measures of Prophase maintenance. Prophase maintenance is the foundation, and the goal is to shape and cultivate the crown. All measures are carried out around the dense branches, compact plant shape, concise and smooth shape. Twists or folds do not deliberately pursue twists and turns, the general trunk 1-2 bends, there are 2-3 branches can. Branches and leaves should be more than other woody miniature bonsai, but should not be too complicated to facilitate the overall balance of metabolism; according to the original characteristics of pots and materials, plant type pictures should be designed, branches and leaves trend and layout should be emphasized, so that branches and leaves are dense and orderly. The crown is about 1.5 times of the basin diameter. A, watering and fertilization: the basin is small in volume and less soil, avoid heavy water and thick fertilizer, the soil should be dry, not dry and not irrigated, sunny spring, late autumn in the morning and morning, early summer and early autumn in the morning and evening, small water and moist soil in the evening, the leaves can get rid of wilting and water thoroughly in the morning. Fertilizer should be mixed with some thin fertilizer water in the irrigated water at intervals of three to five, mainly nitrogen in the first few times, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium, and then dominated by phosphorus and potassium. In order to prevent Rain Water from growing too much, if you have the conditions, you can keep it under the sun and canopy. B, coring, pruning and pruning: determine the timing of topping according to modeling needs, generally 4-5 leaves can be peeled to depress the height of the plant and lower the branching position. After the formation of the primary branch, it is coring again to form the secondary branch. Plate binding should be early, planting to restore growth can be carried out, with a diameter of 0.6-0grad 8mm aluminum wire inserted into the soil, the other end and the branch into a 45-degree angle spiral winding, from the trunk to the twig, from bottom to top; when winding the aluminum wire should be close to the trunk, density moderate, after winding the branch will bend into the desired form, and finally with the aluminum wire to press the top leaf axil, to promote the twig node elongation to form a natural twig, disk binding should be carried out with the branch growth in a timely manner. Plastic bandage can also be used to bind thicker aluminum wire with twigs and then bend the shape. In the growth, branches are too long, but also timely appropriate pruning, short, back pruning, to promote re-branching, at the same time cut off overlapping branches and other redundant branches. C, spray short Zhuangsu: new branches are produced, starting to spray 5/1000 for a long time, once every 7-10 days. If 20-50PPM paclobutrazol is sprayed, the dosage should be controlled and the interval time should be prolonged. D, triangular plum is a strong positive plant, heat-resistant and not afraid of the sun, should be maintained under direct light, generally without shade. The semi-cliff of the cliff can be tilted, placed upside down, when the branches and canopies are initially formed, some flower-promoting measures should be taken, such as opening the basin distance, raising the ventilation, increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, controlling the amount of watering, continuing to control the plant shape, and so on. 7. Florescence management: after planting for about two months, the bud may appear, then the disk binding is suspended, one branch, 3 or 4 inflorescences of double-petal varieties and 6 or 7 inflorescences of single-petal varieties. Concentrate nutrition to make double flowers bloom into balls, single flowers large and colorful. In order to prevent serious wilting, a small amount of water can be replenished at noon, and the water temperature should be close to the soil temperature. 8. post-anthesis management: triangular plum miniature bonsai can bloom three batches of flowers a year, and new plants cultivated by cuttings in May may also blossom twice in the same year. After flowering, it is necessary to cut back and truncate in time to maintain the plant type so as not to overgrow the branches; to apply thin fertilizer and water dominated by nitrogen and supplemented by phosphorus and potassium; to fasten new branches as early as possible, spray Daizhuangsu, and so on. 9. Overwintering: the basin is slightly affected by external temperature changes and is vulnerable to cold damage in winter. it is appropriate to put indoor sunny windowsill or warm cabinets, and strive to be no less than 8 degrees. In case of cold fallen leaves, it is appropriate to keep the basin soil dry, let it dormant, and pour a small amount of lukewarm water on the edge of the basin when it is too dry. If the temperature is high, the sun does not shed leaves, and it can blossom normally, it needs normal maintenance and management. 10. Post-maintenance: miniature bonsai planting for 1-2 years, turning over the basin, changing soil, pruning, or local soil replacement, lifting roots, and taking measures to make the main rod aging. After a year of maintenance, the initial appearance of the prototype, the transition from ordinary miniature bonsai to art bonsai, miniature bonsai, but also needs years of pruning as the main plate binding as the auxiliary modeling process. Triangular plum bonsai culture matters needing attention 1. Triangular plum should grasp the principle of "short, heavy and sparse" when pruning, that is, cut short horizontal branches and re-cut new branches. Remove dense branches and weak branches. Safflower triangular plum grows weakly and is pruned about once a year from March to April. Triangular plum needs to be fully pruned twice a year, the first before germination from March to April, and the second before the growth of new branches after blooming from November to December, in order to ensure exuberant flowering every year. 2. The common pests of Prunus mume are leaf beetles and aphids, and the common diseases are shoot blight. At ordinary times, it is necessary to strengthen loosening soil and weeding, remove dead branches and diseased leaves in time, and pay attention to ventilation so as to reduce the spread of the disease. Strengthen the examination of the disease, find the timely treatment of the disease, can be prevented and treated with dimethoate, topiramate and other solutions. In the usual maintenance and management work, pay more attention to its growth.
