What does Luohansong culture need to pay attention to? How to shape and pose?

Pinus elliottii is an evergreen coniferous tree, up to 20 meters high, distributed in many provinces and regions of China, with few wild trees, which are mainly used in gardens as ornamental trees, so what do we need to pay attention to in the cultivation of Luohan pine? How to shape and pose?

First, what does Luohansong breeding need to pay attention to?

Luohansong prefers a warm, humid, semi-overcast environment. The cold tolerance is weak. It can only be used as indoor potted plants in North China. It grows well by the sea. Luohansong has strong resistance to many kinds of toxic gases. It is suitable for sandy loam with fertile soil and good drainage.

The pot soil of Luohansong was mixed with 2 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of rotten leaf soil and 2 parts of coarse sand. Turn the basin and change the soil every two years in spring, and at the same time carry on the proper pruning, cut off the withered branches, residual branches and diseased leaves, and keep the plant shape clean and symmetrical. Pinus elliottii is fertilized 3-4 times a month in the peak growing season, and there is no need to topdressing in summer and autumn to prevent branches and leaves from growing and reducing the ability of cold resistance. Luohansong watering to master the principle of wet between dry and dry, should not be too much, summer every morning and evening for a foliar spray to improve air humidity, but also appropriate shade to prevent strong light exposure. Luohansong can be moved indoors in winter, the temperature is required to be between 1-10 ℃, not too high, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to the growth in the coming year.

Second, how does Luo Hansong shape and pose?

The geometric modeling of Luo Han Song is relatively simple, and it only needs to be trimmed according to the graphics designed in advance. For example, when trimming the three-layer sphere, first choose a tree seedling with obvious trunk and better upright shape. If the trimming design is a three-layer sphere with a total height of 2 meters, the height of the lower layer is about 50 cm, the middle layer is about 40 cm, and the top layer is 30 cm high. all branches between the first and second layers of 45 cm and between the second and third layers of 35 cm need to be cut off, and then trim three spheres. The above three balls are getting bigger and bigger, in order to coordinate the proportion to have a better ornamental, the general new branch tips 20 to 30 cm pruning is appropriate, need to be pruned many times to make each layer round and compact.

Bonsai style modeling is much more complex, because the natural shape of each plant is different, according to the potential of different materials, the following is a brief overview. Luohansong is an evergreen tree, forming slowly, generally using the method of wire tying to facilitate rapid prototyping.

First prepare a number of aluminum wires of various specifications, select the slightly curved lohan pine of the trunk, cut off the weak twigs, door latch branches, some whorled branches and branches below 1/3 of the trunk, and leave the sturdy side branches above the trunk 1/3 as the first main branch. Use aluminum wire to wind from the trunk to the first main branch, to the end at 45 degrees, then bend the first main branch into an s-shape and at an angle of less than 90 degrees with the trunk, bind the branchlet and the first main branch into the same plane with a thin aluminum wire, and then trim it into an egg shape as a whole. After the same way to gradually tie up, generally the main branches should be around the trunk, before and after with a small number of small lateral branches can be slightly covered. Usually the first main branch is the thickest and thickest, gradually getting thinner and shorter, and then topped in the shape of steamed bread in a triangular layout as a whole. When the new shoot grows to 10 cm, it needs to be cut flat, depending on the growth condition, it is generally necessary to disassemble the aluminum wire and re-bind it in half a year to one year to prevent the damage caused by embedded branches. It will take three years to take shape.
