How to thicken the root system of boxwood bonsai

Poplar bonsai has the characteristics of whirling trees, dark green leaves and ancient Qiu qu roots, so it is of high ornamental value and is favored by the majority of bonsai lovers. And the root system of yellow poplar is well developed, when making bonsai, we can not only take the most commonly used method of pruning and storing dry, but also lift the root and expose the root, so that the bonsai is very suitable for viewing roots and improve the ornamental value of bonsai as a whole.

However, the root modeling of yellow poplar can not be carried out at any time, first of all, we need to wait until its root system has the conditions for modeling. Then it will be made into big floating branches, falling branches, or even cliff-like shapes. In the process of modeling, the root system of boxwood is mainly biased. But as an ornamental bonsai, we also need to thicken the roots of Populus tomentosa in order to be more ornamental. So, how to thicken the root system of boxwood bonsai?

The root system of Populus tomentosa is often many and developed, but it is mainly fine root, which is a typical shallow root tree species. If it is dug out from the basin soil, it is obvious to see a mass of fine roots, especially many capillaries. In order to make the root system thicker and the branches thicker at the same time, topdressing is usually needed to promote cultivation. In the process of topdressing chemical fertilizer, combined with thickening agent, the effect is better. However, after fertilization, it is necessary to water in time, and water frequently, so as to promote the growth of the root system of boxwood and achieve the goal of thickening.

Of course, the germination ability of Populus tomentosa is still relatively strong, after the germination of new shoots, we can first cut off the 1-2 nodes in the front, which can not only prevent overgrowth, but also save nutrients, so that the saved nutrients are more concentrated in the roots and trees, so as to promote germination, but also play a certain effect on the root system. However, in order to make this effect more obvious, we can also change the basin every 2-3 years, and the root can be trimmed properly when changing the basin, so as to promote the germination and thickening of new roots.

Of course, in addition to the above aspects of management, we also need to do a good job in routine maintenance and management, which is more conducive to the growth of trees, including the thickening of roots. When the root system of Populus tomentosa becomes thicker and bigger, it is more convenient for us to make big root bonsai. However, the cultivation of yellow poplar root is not an overnight thing, often need to go through a long time of training, do not rush to achieve, because often do not want to achieve it quickly.

However, in the actual cultivation and application, we can also adopt a very simple and effective method, that is, high-enclosing soil cultivation. After planting boxwood in Gaowei soil, it is necessary to take the way of revealing roots downward every year, which is also a step-by-step process. When the time is long enough, the yellow poplar will show a big pick-up root, and at this time, the bonsai will be doubled in both ornamental value and economic value.
