How to make bonsai trees thicker

For bonsai creators, in order to pursue the highest ornamental value and artistic effect, they often try their best to make bonsai trees grow better and shape more beautiful. Among them, it is more common to thicken the branches of bonsai trees. Obviously, for many bonsai trees, the thickened branches are more ornamental. So, how can bonsai trees be thickened?

In order to make the branches of bonsai trees thicken quickly, shorten the forming time, and show their beautiful posture suitable for appreciation as soon as possible, it is usually necessary to cultivate them from the following aspects:

First, accelerate growth

Usually, bonsai trees grow faster in order to shorten the time for the branches of the trees to thicken. The growth process of bonsai trees is actually a process of nutrient accumulation. To accelerate the growth of bonsai trees, it is usually achieved by replenishing nutrients and increasing nutrients.

Usually, the application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to trees can promote the growth of trees to a certain extent, as long as the proportion of these three elements is scientific and reasonable, there is generally no phenomenon of poor growth. At the same time, we also need to increase the light appropriately, and if the temperature is relatively stable, it can also increase the solubility of carbon dioxide, because this can promote photosynthesis and trees will grow quickly.

Of course, the close relationship with this is that by cutting off withered and yellow branches and leaves and residual flowers, timely thinning of flowers and fruits, it can also save a lot of nutrients and create favorable conditions for the rapid growth of trees. It can be seen that nutrients are an important aspect to promote the rapid growth of trees.

Second, pick the heart and hit the top

Picking the heart and topping is mainly to remove the growth point of the top of the tree at the right time, original because the top of the tree often has a more obvious growth advantage. Through coring and topping, we can not only control the growth height of trees and achieve the purpose of dwarfing, but also change the path of nutrient transport, so that a large number of nutrients accumulate at the lower end of the top branch, so as to achieve the purpose of thickening tree branches.

Of course, if we want to thicken the upper branches of bonsai trees, we can achieve it with the help of iron wire. The wire is usually tied to the base of the branch, which prevents the transfer of nutrients downward, thus keeping the nutrients in the upper part of the branch, thus achieving the purpose of local thickening.

III. Hormone regulation

In addition to increasing nutrients to thicken the branches of bonsai trees, we can also stimulate plant growth by applying plant growth hormone. The commonly used plant hormones are dwarf, paclobutrazol, trunk thickening liquid and so on. After reasonable application, it can not only inhibit the growth height of trees, but also achieve the purpose of thickening branches.

IV. Local trauma

Local trauma on trees is an important means to promote the thickening of bonsai trees, mainly through artificial trauma to promote the differentiation of tree cambium, and then make the branches thicker. After the tree is injured, the cambium accelerates differentiation to allow the wound to heal quickly. The process of branch thickening is actually the process of branch cambium differentiation to form phloem and Lignification. Therefore, we often see that after a tree injury, a relatively large tumor will be formed in the wound over a long time, which is similar to the scar formed after the injury of the human body.

5. Multiple strains bundled

Sometimes, we plant multiple trees in a flowerpot, and in order to achieve the thickening effect, we can tie the trees tightly together and let them grow close to each other. After a while, we peel off the bark that clings to each other, and then continue to tie it together. Over time, many trees will grow tightly together, just like a thicker tree. The principle of this thickened tree is similar to that of grafting.
