Depending on the type of bamboo, different setting methods can be adopted. Small bamboos such as Philippine white bamboo can be planted in square or oval pots; medium bamboos such as green bamboo can be planted in rectangular or oval shallow pots. If one side of the pot feels unbalanced, you can match a beautiful stone with a proper proportion of the size of the bamboo plant at the other end of the pot, which can not only achieve balance, but also increase the interest of bonsai and appear lively and natural. Large bamboos such as Phyllostachys glauca, Phyllostachys mottled, etc. are used to make bonsai. They should be artificially dwarfed and planted in small and medium shallow pots.

To achieve the effect of "shrinking dragons into inches". Bamboo bonsai should be planted sparsely, not multiply, scattered planting should not be planted densely. Only three, five or seven branches, high and low order, density has to be, natural layout, planted in shallow pots, decorated with beautiful stones, slightly spread moss, plus one or two pottery ancient costumes into things, walk among them, very poetic, can be called bonsai wonderful products, can make the whole bamboo bonsai present natural bamboo forest scenery.

[Cultivation of Bamboo Piles]

Bamboo grows tall, generally more than one meter, to make bonsai, must try to dwarf.

Bamboo breeding pile buried with whip:

It is a kind of cultivation method that uses the vigorous bud on the whip to germinate into bamboo pile. Its advantages are short cultivation time, low dwarfing cost and ability to maintain its own excellent characteristics. Specific methods:

(1) Selection of bamboo piles:

It is advisable to choose the southeast or southwest slope, slope 8 to 10 degrees, wet land, fertile acid or neutral loam, or sandy loam, convenient for irrigation and drainage, for the cultivation of bamboo piles.

(2) Selection of whip segment:

Choose 2 to 3 years old brass-colored strong whip, whip bud dense, full, robust, no pests, whip length 30 to 40 cm or 50 to 60 cm can be.

(3) Bamboo pile preparation:

All the nursery land prepared for cultivating bamboo piles should be ploughed 30 cm deep in the winter of the first year, raked carefully, applied with sufficient base fertilizer, 500 - 700 kg of manure per mu, and 50 - 60 kg of calcium superphosphate or calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer should be applied to meet the needs of bamboo pile seedlings for rooting and long leaves.

(4) Cultivation seasons of bamboo piles:

Whip buds germinate from the middle of February to the end of March (eastern Zhejiang), and in the north in the middle of April.

(5) Methods:

The soil preparation bed is one meter wide, 25 cm high, 20 cm in row distance, 20 - 25 cm in trench width, 1500 - 2000 rhizome sections can be buried per mu, and 2000 - 2500 bamboo stake seedlings can be bred.

(6) Management:

In order to keep the nursery wet, the bed can be covered with straw (or thatch). If rain and temperature are suitable after burying the whip section, buds will begin to sprout 35 to 40 days later. At this time, grass should be spread between rows and weeds should be removed in time to prevent pests and diseases and cattle and sheep trampling. Bamboo piles and bamboo piles space can be interplanted vegetables and other crops to accelerate the growth of bamboo piles. [Technology of the upper basin]

(1) Preparation of basin soil, bamboo suitable for growth in deep fertile loose land, so basin soil to acid or medium yellow loam or sandy loam is good, which mixed with garbage soil, sieving, is also very suitable.

(2) The time of potting: Bamboo potted plants can be potted all year round except for evaporation in high temperature season from July to September, and the optimum season is from mid-March to late April in eastern Zhejiang and mid-late April in northern Zhejiang. In short, the spring thaw, the temperature began to rise can be.

(3) Issues to be noted:

A, in order to make bamboo pile on the pot can quickly whip shoots, in the bamboo pile on the pot after 7 to 10 days to apply a thin fertilizer solution (50 kg of water with 5 to 10 kg of human excrement).

B. The length of the whip root should be determined according to the size of the container (the bottom of the basin must have a channel for ventilation and drainage). But must pay attention to one point, must be very careful not to sprain the bamboo stalk and bamboo whip joint, lest prevent water and nutrients transport and affect survival, and must straighten the fibrous roots, compaction soil.

C, in order to save seedlings, according to the needs of making bonsai, a whip, two or more branches on the pot.

[Management] Pay attention not to let direct sunlight after bamboo piles are placed in pots, and weed in time. After about a month of growth, appropriate irrigation with thin human excrement, to the end of the year or the spring of the following year can be out of the nursery.

To enhance the beauty of bamboo potted plants, the roots can be raised when the bamboo enters the pot. After the bamboo grows and develops for a period, part of the topsoil at the root is removed, so that part of the bamboo root is exposed on the topsoil, showing the potential of hanging roots and exposing claws, revealing the beauty of the bamboo root, which is very resistant to viewing.

Location:

Bamboo bonsai should be placed in warm, humid, leeward sunny place. Summer should not be exposed to the sun, better placed under the shade, pool side; winter is not cold-resistant bamboo species (such as small Buddha belly bamboo, small leaf phoenix tail bamboo, etc.) to move the basin indoors to keep warm and cold.

Watering:

Bamboo bonsai management, pay special attention to the supply of water, growth period or high temperature in summer, to frequent watering and spraying, bamboo although wet, but avoid water in the pot, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten whip (root) phenomenon.

Fertilization:

Such as pot soil nutrient deficiency, will cause the phenomenon of poor growth (such as leaf color dim not bright, etc.).

Trim:

Bamboo germination and growth faster, usually pay attention to pruning, in order to maintain the beautiful posture of bamboo bonsai, for bamboo overlapping branches, cross branches and affect the beautiful shape of the branches, can be trimmed at any time, for the growth of too long branches can be cut short. After the bonsai is finalized, the new shoots can be removed in time to avoid disturbing the shape of the bamboo bonsai and consuming nutrients to affect the growth of the mother bamboo.

Turn over the basin:

Bamboo every 2~3 years turn pot, time to April-May is good. When turning over the basin, pay attention to protecting the fibrous roots on the whip roots and build up fertile and loose culture soil. After turning the pot, put it in shade, keep the pot soil moist, spray foliar water frequently to prevent leaves from shrinking.

Pest control:

Bamboo potted plant diseases and insect pests are less, mainly bamboo borers, scale insects, aphids, etc., available trichlorfon 800 times liquid or dichlorvos 1000-1200 times liquid spray treatment.
