How to raise the bonsai of plum blossoms

How to raise the bonsai of plum blossoms and plant it in the upper pot

In pot culture, 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of river sand and 2 parts of rotten barnyard manure can be evenly mixed, and the slightly acidic soil with loose topsoil and slightly sticky subsoil is the best. Generally, the plum blossom is planted in a tile pot, and when the plant will blossom and watch, put on elegant and beautiful flowerpots, such as porcelain pots and purple sand pots.

How to manage the Fertilizer and Water of Plum Blossom Bonsai

The pot can be changed once a year after the flowers fade in spring, remove the old roots, add new soil and apply an appropriate amount of rotten bean cake as base fertilizer. When the new leaves are gradually on display from late spring to early summer, thin liquid fertilizer is applied every 10 to 15 days. After "withdrawing water" or stopping the growth of new shoots (from June to July), proper control of fertilization times and concentration can help to promote flower bud differentiation. Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and increase a small amount of available phosphorus fertilizer during autumn budding. From the end of winter to the beginning of spring, when the buds of plum blossoms began to grow to transparent color, thin phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer was applied every 5 days to promote the flowering and improve the quality of plum blossoms. After defoliation in winter, stop fertilizing and prevent freezing over the winter.

Keep the basin soil moist during the growing period, and grasp the principle of "dry and wet" in watering. It is watered every other day in spring and autumn, and dry and thoroughly in winter. Note that there is no stagnant water in the rainy season basin. Water the plum blossom once every afternoon in summer, but from June to July, it is necessary to "buckle" the plum blossom for 2 or 3 times, that is, to reduce watering, and then resume watering when the leaves of plum blossom are slightly curled and the branches are slightly wilting, so as to promote the normal flower bud differentiation of plum blossom.

Material selection and cultivation

The old root pile of wild Chimonanthus praecox in mountainous area is cultivated in the ground, and the ancient pile of Chimonanthus praecox is made, which is more common and has a quick effect. The method is to select the old stump that has been cut down for many years, and after digging it back, pay attention to protecting the root system and pruning the branches. Choose the place with moderate light, loose soil and good drainage to "raise the embryo", and then move it to the basin after survival. If it is an old pile of dog flies and plums, it can be grafted with plain heart wintersweet, and it can be processed and modeled as needed after survival.

Pot-up process

1, selection basin: wax plum should use purple sand pottery basin, can also use glazed pottery basin. General seedlings Chimonanthus chinensis mostly use round basin, square basin, hexagonal basin and so on. Wintersweet old pile can use medium-deep dregs basin or crabapple basin, cliff type more choose thousand-cylinder basin. Dark purple or ochre red is better in color to set off waxy yellow flowers and increase their ornamental effect.

2. Using soil: Chimonanthus praecox is not strict on soil, but it is better to use sandy loam with good drainage. The commonly used mature pastoral soil or rotten leaf soil mixed with 20% bran ash was used as culture soil.

3. Planting: the transplanting of Chimonanthus praecox is mostly carried out in the early spring, and it is suitable before and after the new bud germination of the flower stem in early March. It is generally appropriate to plant in an oblique way, which is easy to take advantage of when modeling. A plastic trim can be carried out before planting. Sufficient base fertilizer can be applied to the bottom of the basin when it is put on.

Pose modeling

The styling and styling of Chimonanthus is mainly pruning and budding, supplemented by climbing. Xiyaojia Village, Yanling County, Henan Province is known as "Yiling Wax Plum Crown in the World". Its traditional plastic arts include "screen fan plum", "pimple plum", "hanging branch plum" and so on, especially the screen fan plum is the most popular. its modeling process: during the period of March to April, the main branch is twisted and spirally raised by "hob method" and "dragon knife method". When the bud is just sprouting, it is cut obliquely at the place to be bent, and the knife edge is oblique, reaching the diameter of the branch 2B3. Bend carefully so that the upper part of the cracked xylem is supported on the lower section, use a pole to support the newly bent trunk, and tie it up with a rope. And then make all the top tips of the branches downward. The incision should be coated with mud within 1 month, and can not be removed, and should be filled up as it falls. After the formation of the basic skeleton, we should pay attention to pruning and pick the heart in time to maintain the shape of the screen fan.

Although Chimonanthus and Plum blossom do not belong to the same family, but their florescence is similar, and their flowers and aroma are also similar. Wax plum is fragrant and fragrant, and does not reduce red plum, so we can learn from the modeling principles of plum blossoms: "Mei takes qu as beauty, straight as beauty, straight as beauty, regular without scenery, sparse as beauty, dense and stateless", "plum is rare but not expensive and complex, expensive old is not expensive and tender, expensive thin is not expensive fat, Guihe is not expensive to open" and so on. Therefore, the trunk should be oblique and horizontal, the branches and leaves should be sparse, and the pile is old and vigorous. In addition to the "screen fan type", "pimple type" and "hanging branch type" of Yiling, Henan Province, there are also "downwind type", "hanging branch type", "swimming dragon type" and so on.

Well, the above is the whole process of making preserved plum bonsai. Interested friends can try to make a potted preserved plum bonsai.

The plum blossom blossoms in the cold winter months, that is, from December to March of the following year. Its flower colors are mainly red, yellow and white, with a solid aroma. Lamei bonsai is usually cultivated outdoors and indoors, thanks to the tenacious survival ability of Lamei blossoms.

Water and Fertilizer Management of how to raise Plum Blossom

There is a common saying about the plum blossom, called "the wax plum blossom that cannot die in drought", which fully shows that the drought tolerance of the wax plum blossom is very strong, so the potted landscape of wax plum is insensitive to the need for water. In spring and autumn, if the basin soil is not dry, it will not be watered, and once in the morning and evening in summer. During the flowering period of the plum blossom, it should not be watered too often, otherwise it will cause the wax plum to fall.

Wax plum blossoms like fertilizer, but not too thick. The time of fertilization is from April to November, liquid fertilizer is applied once a month, and fertilization can be increased in late June to make nutritional preparations for flower bud differentiation.

The shaping and pruning of Prunus mume blossoms

If you want to ensure the bonsai of preserved plum-a good ornamental, you need to prune the branches. The pruning method of preserved plum bonsai depends on the shape of the tree decided in advance. Taking the pruning method of Arbor-shaped tree as an example, the stout branches were selected in the young seedling stage, and the trunk was cultivated. After the trunk grew to the desired height, the tree crown was formed by the treatment of the reserved dry branch, basic branch or side branch.

Pest Management of how to raise Prunus mume Blossom
