The process of making boxwood bonsai

The branches of Populus tomentosa are gray and bright, the leaves are as small as Douban, the texture is thick and bright, the four seasons are green, and can be watched all the year round. Cut into clouds, thin as cut, or embellished with mountains and rocks, it is more natural and wonderful. Poplar bonsai trees are graceful, with leaves as small as beans, thick and shiny, evergreen all the year round, and can be watched all the year round. Yang Pai boxwood bonsai, branches and leaves after cutting processing, into a "cloud sheet", as thin as cut, and then embellished with rocks, elegant and picturesque.

The young leaves of Populus tomentosa are young in spring, and the trees are green and pleasing to the eye. The ancients chanted Huang Yang's poems: a yellow poplar tree, a thousand branches, a jade garden of leaves, and a Qiu dragon according to ancient times. The following is to introduce the production process of boxwood bonsai:

Mountain mining

Populus tomentosa in subtropical mountains are mostly scattered under miscellaneous trees or by forest edge ditches. In barren land with bare rocks, boxwood grows short, branches and leaves are dense, and potted plants are dug and processed into bonsai products. Populus tomentosa grows in pieces in the upper part of Zhongshan at an altitude of 1300-1800 meters in East China, forming evergreen shrubs dominated by Populus tomentosa. It also grows in rock crevices, with thick and short stem, dense branches and small leaves, which is most suitable for making bonsai.

However, fish scale yellow poplar is an alpine tree species, which requires a cool and moist climate, acid sandy loam, excavated wild tree stumps or saplings, should bring more mountain mud to live in the soil, and often spray water, and can be fertilized with thin pancakes and mixed with a small amount of ferrous sulfate. In summer, it is better to put it in the shade or in the shade of the trees, and it is better to put the pot on the wet sand.

Pot-up process

Select basin: Huang Yang should use purple sand pottery basin or glazed pottery basin, the shape of the basin is mostly rectangular or oval in the middle depth, and the cliff type should use a deep thousand-cylinder basin. The basin color should be purple or light yellow to highlight the green branches and leaves.

Use soil: yellow poplar likes fertile and loose loam, slightly acidic soil or slightly alkaline soil can adapt, and can also grow in calcareous soil. Pot culture can use mature pastoral soil or rotten leaf soil mixed with appropriate amount of rice chaff ash.

Planting: generally carried out before sprouting in spring, the root that is too long and too dense should be trimmed properly so as not to make the root nest bend in the basin.

Pose shaping technique

Processing: the old stump of boxwood excavated in the mountains usually begins to be processed after 1-2 years, while the seedlings cultivated since childhood can not be processed until 3-4 years later.

The shape is mainly climbing, and it can also be roughly tied and cut. Populus tomentosa branches are hard and thin, climbing should not use wire, it is best to use brown wire. The climbing period is mostly in spring, and pruning can be carried out at any time.

Tree shape: yellow poplar should be inclined dry type, curved dry type and cliff type, etc. In the traditional form of "Yang Pai" bonsai, the branches and leaves of Populus tomentosa are made into "cloud sheet" by "fine binding and fine cutting", while in "Su School" bonsai, "steamed bread" is made by "coarse binding and fine cutting", each with its own characteristics. Boxwood is strong in germination and resistant to pruning, and it can also be processed into a natural tree shape by pruning. If the boxwood bonsai is matched with a beautiful stone, it will become a "yellow poplar", so that the poplar with an old tree and a small one will be born near the stone, making its state more natural and wonderful.
