It is one of the bonsai plants exported to the United States after China's entry into WTO. First, the growth habit of June snow like warm and humid environment, like light, shade, drought, pruning, slightly cold, like fertilizer, soil requirements are not strict, neutral and slightly acidic soil can adapt. Second, the source and processing shape of pile wood June snow is often propagated in spring and March, and branch or root propagation can be carried out at any time from 2mi to October. If protected ground (seedbed) is used for propagation, cuttings can be carried out from November to January of the following year. After planting, pay attention to shading, heat preservation, moisturizing, the survival rate is very high. 2Mel-3-year-old seedlings can be processed and modeled, often after semi-deciduous leaves in winter to before sprouting in spring, the trunk and main branches are tied with wire, and the branchlets are shaped by fine pruning. The branches of June snow are soft and easy to bend, but it takes a long time to finalize. It takes about 2-3 years to remove the flat binding material (that is, wire). It is best to re-tie the shape several times to prevent the sinking of silk from affecting the growth of the plant and the beauty of the tree. In the provinces and regions of southeastern and central China, wild old piles or young trees can also be excavated in the mountains and processed into pots after being planted in the ground. Technical points of potting in June Xue should be transplanted in 2murs-March. it can also be carried out during the Meiyu season and late autumn. Choose a lighter round, square or oval purple sand pottery basin or glazed pottery basin, the color of the basin should be slightly darker, in contrast to the flower color. The basin soil is required to be a sandy loam rich in organic matter, loose and fertile, with good drainage and permeability, and can be mixed with pastoral soil, humus soil and pine needle soil mixed with 40% sand or rice husk ash. Properly trim the root when putting on the basin, and the pile material that needs to be processed into exposed root bonsai or with elegant stone into stone-attached bonsai can be carried out when putting on the basin. After potting, make a fine pruning of the upper branches and leaves (that is, cut off the branches and leaves that have nothing to do with the shape and affect the beautiful shape), and pay attention to proper shading and frequent water spray to maintain moisture to ensure its survival and normal growth. 4. Technical points of maintenance and management 1. Water and fertilizer management: snow bonsai in June should be often watered during the growing season to keep the basin soil moist, spray foliar water twice a day in summer, pay attention to inspection in the rainy season, avoid stagnant water in the basin; in winter, watering times should be appropriately reduced. Generally, 3Muk should be watered once in 6 days (when the basin soil surface is slightly dry and slightly white). Before flowering (that is, 4muri-May), 3 times a year, 0.5% phosphate and potassium fertilizer solution with a concentration of 0.3% Murray will be applied; during the season of Ladong, a dilute organic fertilizer solution will be applied twice, so it is not suitable to apply fertilizer in other seasons. Avoid applying thick fertilizer. 2. Light and temperature requirements: June snow is a subtropical tree species, avoid strong sunlight exposure, summer should shade 50%-70%. In winter, you can spend the winter outdoors in the south; in the north, you should move indoors and keep room temperature at 5 ℃ 12 min. 3. Turning the basin and pruning: usually turn the basin and change the soil once every 1-2 years, in spring, 2-March or late autumn, replace all the old soil, trim the roots properly, and lift the roots combined with changing pots to form suspended roots and improve the ornamental value. After the semi-deciduous leaves in winter to the sprouting of the following spring, one pruning is carried out to cut the long and overgrown branches, to remove the overdense thin and weak branches, to cut off the branches of diseases and insect pests and other messy branches that affect the ornamental, and to pick the core, wipe the buds and remove the branches at the right time during the growing period, so as to keep it in a beautiful shape. The cut healthy branches can be used for cutting propagation. 4. Pest control: there are few diseases and insect pests in snow bonsai in June, and aphids and snails occur occasionally. once they occur, they should be prevented and treated in time. Aphids can be diluted 600 times with wind oil essence, or sprayed 150 times with neutral detergent; snails can be poisoned on the basin surface with an appropriate amount of 80% Miaoling granules, or 1500 times with 58% wind and lightning EC. When the basin soil is too wet or stagnant water in the basin for too long, root rot will occur, and attention should be paid to prevention and control. Turn the basin and change the soil in time when the basin soil is solidified, and be careful not to make the basin soil too wet for a long time, and avoid stagnant water in the basin. At the beginning of the disease, you can use 12% green EC 600ml-1000 times, or 50% Gen Fu Ling 800x solution to irrigate roots and leaves, spray (irrigation) once every 5 days, continuous spray (irrigation) for 4 times. For plants with serious disease, they should be taken out of the basin, replaced with new culture soil, washed clean and cut off the diseased roots, and soaked in the roots for 30 minutes, and then replanted in the pot, the plants can generally be saved. Experience exchange: June cold knife: a basin of June snow bonsai cut by Lingnan bonsai technique, article | Spring bonsai garden map of June snow (also known as full sky star), Rubiaceae June snow genus, evergreen or semi-evergreen shrubs. Sexual light is also shady, warm and humid, slightly cold-resistant, widely distributed throughout the country, extremely resistant to pruning, is an excellent material for the production of small bonsai, while large piles are rare. The production method of bonsai is mainly to tie branches and cut pieces (pieces of clouds), paying attention to the tree-shaped ornamental effect. Because of its slim material and small size, most people think that June snow is not suitable to use Lingnan bonsai techniques to produce Lingnan bonsai style works with prominent branches and claws. Figure 2, figure 1 and figure 2 are the trees before pruning, while the pot below is a pot of snow and stone bonsai made by me using the Lingnan bonsai technique. Today, I trim, take photos and attach text instructions for everyone to exchange, and welcome to make comments. Fig. 3 under the growing condition, the branches and leaves of June snow are relatively dense, and some twigs without light and ventilation are easy to shrink and die. If we prune the snow bonsai in June for a long time, it will certainly increase the number of useful young branches and affect the shape and type preservation in the future. The author believes that the best way to solve this problem is to use the Lingnan bonsai production technique of "cutting cold branches" and changing brocade, and while implementing this method, it is also easy to adjust the tree shape and branch shape, so as to make the branches and claws of trees show strength beauty. this is also the basic requirement of Lingnan bonsai. In order to deepen everyone's impression, I have given this method of "cutting cold branches" a good-sounding name called "June cold knife", of course, for June snow.
