How do I use the bonsai?

First, the colors should be coordinated.

The colors of the basin and the scenery should be contrasted to a certain extent in order to reconcile each other. In general, the color of the basin is simple and elegant, which can reflect the role of foil and prevent the guests from taking the lead. Bonsai landscapes usually use white pots, but be careful not to be the same color as the rocks. Bonsai trees should be selected according to the color of the trunk, flowers and fruits should be matched with glazed pottery pots, pines and cypresses should be matched with purple sand pottery pots.

Second, the style should match.

The style of the basin should be consistent with the content of the scene in style. The posture of the trees is Qiu and meandering, the outline of the basin should be mainly curved lines, such as round, oval, etc.; the posture of trees is vigorous and straight, then the lines of the basin should be straight, such as diamond, square and so on. It is appropriate to use a short foot basin for trees with a straight shape, and a high foot basin for trees that are horizontal and elegant. Landscape bonsai generally use a rectangular or oval bottom basin, axe split stone for mountain view, can use a narrow basin; sand accumulation stone for mountain landscape, it is appropriate to use a wider basin; high-distance mountain view, it is appropriate to use a narrower basin; Pingyuan mountain view, it is appropriate to use a wider basin.

Third, the size should be wide.

The size of the basin should be adapted to the matching scene, not even too big or too small. Using the basin too large and storing too much water will not only make the basin appear empty, but also easily lead to the excessive growth of plants, affect the shape, and even cause the death of rotten roots; if the basin is too small, it will make the bonsai appear top-heavy, lack of stability, and insufficient supply of water and nutrients, affecting the growth of plants in the basin. General sturdy trees, the mouth of the basin must not be less than the range of the crown; co-planting basin, it is appropriate to be slightly larger, in order to show a certain space. When using a shallow basin, the mouth of the basin should be larger during the day; when using a deep basin, the mouth of the basin should be smaller. Bonsai bonsai should not be large, otherwise it will make the mountain look small and not majestic, but it should not be too small, too small will make the scenery bloated.

Fourth, the depth should be appropriate.

Bonsai trees with pots too deep will make the trees in the basin appear low, but the trunk trees with pots are too shallow, which will give people a sense of instability and difficult to plant. The bottom basin for landscape bonsai should be very shallow to show the height of the mountain peak, the twists and turns of the foot of the mountain stream, and the scenery such as boats and bridges in the water, which will be covered if the basin is too deep.

Fifth, the texture should be suitable.

Purple sand pottery basin is suitable for pine and cypress bonsai, and glazed pottery basin is generally used for miscellaneous wood. Miniature bonsai should use glaze basin or pottery basin; extra-large available cement basin; landscape bonsai should use stone chiseling basin, followed by glaze pottery basin; flood and drought bonsai should use purple sand pottery basin or stone chisel basin.
