Cultivation techniques of bonsai in Yingshanhong

Yingshanhong, also known as rhododendron, belongs to the genus Rhododendron of the rhododendron family. It is an evergreen, semi-evergreen or deciduous tree and shrub. It is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. When the spring returns to the earth and the warbler cries the cuckoo, it is when the azaleas are in full bloom, and they are full of flowers, full of spring and pleasing to the eye.

Main points of cultivation:

1 picking piles: although the varieties of Yingshanhong are common, how long the good pile heads are in places where it is difficult to pick, we must dig carefully, protect the root system, pile mass is slightly larger, with primary soil (symbiotic bacteria). Dig before and after flowering.

2 repairing piles: slightly larger piles will be trimmed according to the needs of cultivation, and the branches will be cut once. The roots and branches should be sealed to prevent shrinkage.

3 planting: disinfect with soil first, plant with loose and plain soil, it is best to go to the ground, and then plant according to the habit after the root system is cultivated (about one year); place according to the habit. Keep alive in the first year, root in the second year, tree in the third year, and pot in the fourth year.

4 Fertilizer and water: do not use fertilizer in the first year, use less fertilizer in the second year, use fertilizer normally in the third year, apply thin fertilizer frequently. The whole process moisturizing management.

Cultivation is the key to the survival of cuckoos.

1, plain pot billet: it is best to use plain burning basin to raise billet. Rhododendron is a shallow root tree species, the pot should not be too deep, can not be planted in pots with poor air permeability, you can use simple pots such as wooden boxes to raise billets, try not to use alkaline cement pots to raise billets.

2. Acid soil:

The main results are as follows: (1) the quality of the soil used for cuckoo cultivation is very important. Rhododendron is an acid-loving plant and should be cultivated in acidic soil.

Pay attention to five points:

First, it is best to plant cuckoos with loose and breathable yellow rotten leaf soil, or with acidic garden soil or self-made culture soil.

Second, the soil should be dry when planting, it is not easy to plant pot soil with dry soil, the soil should be better in granular shape, the soil is too fine and bad for water, and it is not breathable, so that the roots can not breathe smoothly, and they should not be planted too deep. planting deep is also "suffocated" because of lack of oxygen inhalation.

Third, when pot planting, you can insert the basin soil with a small stick, do not let the root of the pile blank hang, do not insert the basin soil after watering, and do not shake the pile blank, so as not to cause basin soil knot, which is also very important.

Fourth, after planting, put it in a ventilated and humid place, pour enough root water at once, and then cover and moisturize it with a transparent plastic film bag and pile basin, and check the basin soil once in a while to ensure that the basin soil is moist.

Fifth, after the new buds of pile blanks sprout in spring, when the new buds grow to about an inch long, and all the branches that need to grow buds sprout new buds, then choose a rainy weather for several consecutive days to open plastic bags to train seedlings; if you encounter a dry sunny day, it is necessary to properly use a sunshade net to shade and spray water to moisturize the pile head, and the basin soil remains moist but cannot accumulate water.

(2) the pile billet can also be planted with river sand, because the river sand is clean and breathable, so the survival rate is very high, and the disadvantage is that the plant is not good to carry soil and is not easy to be put on the basin in the future. At the same time, because of the lack of river sand nutrition, it is necessary to apply fertilizer regularly after complete survival. (3) if there are conditions, it can be planted in the greenhouse, the survival rate is also very high, and the management is convenient.
