How to increase the beauty of simple vicissitudes of plum blossom bonsai

The plum blossom bonsai takes the basin as the "paper" and the plum blossom, mountains and stones as the "painting". Through artistic treatment and careful cultivation, it centrally and typically reproduces the divine appearance of plum in nature, and is a work of art that expresses the author's thoughts and feelings. Therefore, the plum blossom bonsai is a perfect combination of horticultural technology and plastic arts. It comes from nature and is higher than nature.

The bonsai of plum blossoms is more popular in ancient China. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Wuxi Su Ling wrote two volumes of Bonsai accidental Records, in which bonsai plants were divided into four masters, seven sages, and Rocks of Eighteen Scholars, with plum blossoms at the top of the Rocks of Eighteen Scholars list. Plum blossom bonsai is generally divided into three categories: plum pile bonsai, plum blossom small bonsai, plum blossom freehand bonsai.

The bonsai of plum blossom is unique in the bonsai art of our country, and its simple and vigorous, sparse and oblique form is very poetic. Nowadays, plum blossom bonsai has become one of the favorite types of bonsai for families of all sizes. Some people only love the simple vicissitudes of plum blossoms, so they simply "pretend to be old" of the young plum blossoms at home. the following is how to increase the beauty of the ancient vicissitudes of plum blossom bonsai.

1. Cutting

On the viewing front of the plum blossom bonsai, cut and peel off the bark with a carving knife, and then use a small chisel to destroy the xylem. In this way, the scar on the tree trunk will look old.

2. Embedding

Choose a dead plum pile with good posture, trim the long branches, make a longitudinal groove on its back, then embed human seedlings, fill it with mud and moss, spray water, and fasten it with ropes. As the trunk of the saplings grows thick and full of grooves, remove the rope, this method does not reveal artificial traces, can achieve the effect of false and real, and looks like dead wood in spring.

3. Carving

On the viewing side of the plum blossom bonsai, peel the trunk with a carving knife, then destroy the xylem with a chisel and inlay human stones. Scars should not be carved too much, and plum stumps of different sizes and shapes should be flexibly mastered.

4. Tearing branches

The extra branches on both sides of the trunk are cut off without scissors, but the branches are torn off from the base by hand, so that the xylem heals to form a natural and beautiful scar. In short, the excess branches can be treated by tearing, but they should be carried out in stages and in batches without affecting the growth of trees.

5. Hammering

In order to make the plum blossom bonsai old, the smooth bark of the dry bark should first be made to show a rugged old state. How to achieve this goal? The method of hammering stimulation can be used: during the growing period of the tree, hard objects such as hammers are used to hit the lower part of the tree trunk, causing local damage, accelerating cell division, forming local callus and thickening, forming a local uplift showing an uneven posture.

6. Pry the skin

In the vigorous season of tree growth, insert the bark with a knife and pry it gently to make the bark and wood part open. After 2 months, the wound heals, forming callus and protruding like a tumor.

These are the six ways to "pretend to be old" for plum blossom bonsai. It should be noted that plum trees should not be damaged because of their own preferences. The health of plum blossom bonsai must be ensured before specific operation, and the operation should not be overexerted so as not to affect the growth of plum trees.
