How to preserve the bonsai of small leaf banyan

Small-leaf banyan is a common plant in the south, which has thick aerial roots like all banyan plants. These gas roots are very elegant, like hanging curtains, but very firmly directed at the land, the feel is not smooth but full of strength, once buried, it can grow roots, support the continuous extension of the tree crown, and finally form a forest. Why other people's small-leaf banyan can develop bonsai, while your leaves are yellow or withered, the key is water and fertilizer management, as to why they can grow into bonsai, they still need to be trimmed and shaped.

1. Water and fertilizer management

Small leaf banyan is extremely easy to raise, it can adapt to the environment with sufficient fertilizer and water, but also can withstand drought and moisture, and can grow in stone crevices.

If you want to develop bonsai, you must first cultivate the trunk and piles, usually apply thin fertilizer frequently, and use rotten organic fertilizer as topdressing, once every 3 days.

Transplanting and changing pots use mature organic fertilizer as base fertilizer. Only enough fertilizer and water can make the small-leaf banyan grow thick and strong quickly, and only in this way can bonsai be cultivated.

After survival, the banyan tree can accumulate water for a long time, otherwise it is easy to grow only roots and not trunk.

2. Daily pruning

Pruning can have a good-looking shape, small-leaf banyan is also more resistant to pruning, pruning can make the banyan tree reach a very beautiful state.

Small-leaf banyan can be pruned all the year round. A pot of bonsai banyan trees with beautiful appearance are mainly pruned, and they can be tied up without any need.

When it is most prosperous, it can be trimmed twice in a row, mainly to cut short the branches to make the trunk stronger, and the branches at the bottom to be cut off in time.

3. Pick the heart

The purpose of coring is to sprout new buds, this is to promote more branches, and eventually you can get a crown, and pinching buds at the top is very necessary. Picking the heart can also restrain the branches from growing too long and affect their appearance.

The heart-picking of the small-leaf banyan is usually carried out for the first time when there are 3 or 4 leaves.

Wait for the new branch to grow 3 or 4 leaves again, pick the heart in turn, so that the branch will look good.

Finally, you can get a small-leaf banyan with many branches and lush crowns.

4. The importance of thinning buds

Vegetable buds are when trees sprout, often many buds sprout at the same time.

Thinning buds is very necessary for the better growth of small leaf banyan, but also can make the tree shape more beautiful.

Sparse buds actually means that when sprouting at the top of the small leaf banyan node, remove the extra buds and leave one or two appropriate buds.

This can not only reduce the loss of nutrients, but also shape, otherwise multiple small buds grow into branches, which is unsightly.

Tree stump bonsai management in addition to watering, fertilization, pruning, prevention of diseases and insect pests, regular management has more work, such as cleaning work, sunshade, wind protection, cold protection and so on.

1. Cleaning work can not only keep the pile scene clean and beautiful, but also reduce the breeding of diseases and insect pests. Always remove dead branches, fallen leaves and weeds from the potted mouth, wash the dirt from the plate wall, and keep the site where bonsai is placed clean.

2. According to the different requirements of light conditions for different pile landscape tree species, sunshade can be divided into positive and negative tree species, and positive tree species, such as stolen tree, Acer truncatum, pomegranate, crape myrtle, five-needle pine, black pine, juniper, etc., as long as the water supply is proper, although it is exposed to direct sunlight all day, it has no effect on its growth. Negative tree species, such as azaleas, Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens, Luohansong, June snow, as well as small pile landscapes and shallow bonsai, should be placed under trees and shade to avoid direct sunlight in summer.

3. Some ancient, tall and cliff-like pile scenes placed in the open air are vulnerable to tropical storms and other strong winds, resulting in serious losses, such as pots, flowerpots falling to the ground, broken branches and so on. Therefore, in order to do a good job in preventing the wind, you can move the pile scene to the flat ground or dump the basin mouth; for some large bonsai which are inconvenient to move, you can set up 1 or 2 pillars and tie the tree poles and thick branches to the pillars to prevent the strong wind from blowing them down.

4. Tree species with poor cold resistance, such as Jiuli incense, Fujian tea, rhododendron, Buddha belly bamboo, etc., should be put into the greenhouse for the winter; those with medium cold tolerance, such as Luohan pine, five-needle pine, sparrow plum, brocade pine, etc., can be set up to guard against cold in the leeward and sunny place, and bury the flowerpot in the soil; the tree species with strong cold tolerance can be placed in the leeward and sunny place, and bury the basin in the soil at the same time.
