Material selection and cultivation of White Wax Bonsai

Ash is a deciduous tree of Oleaceae, which is widely cultivated in China. Like the sun, slightly resistant to shade. It can be propagated by sowing, cutting, ramet and striping propagation. Ash has strong germination, high survival rate and fast growth, so it is a good material for making grafted sweet-scented osmanthus bonsai. You can use the discarded white wax stump, or go to the nursery to buy suitable for bonsai stumps, cultivate the shape, and then graft sweet-scented osmanthus.

The selection of white wax pile blank is the same as that of other bonsai pile blank, which is suitable for making bonsai pile billet with good body and prosperous growth. After the pile billet is excavated, the big root is cut off and the fibrous root is retained. According to the requirements of bonsai modeling, the necessary branches are left, and the excess branches are removed. According to the situation of the pile billet, the ground is planted for 1 to 2 years. If the root of the pile billet is well fastened, the branch thickness and length are suitable, the excavation can be grafted in the pot in the same year, and the excavation and pot time can be carried out after falling leaves in early winter and before the flow of white wax and sweet-scented osmanthus tree sap in spring.

The stumps of white wax trees purchased far from the producing area are all dug by mountain people in winter and early spring. The local cultivation and excavation time can be excavated except from the middle of June to the middle of August. The general protection measures of mountain people in mining and transportation are poor, although this tree species has strong vitality, in order to obtain a higher survival rate, it is still necessary to pay attention to its different degrees of dehydration.

First of all, the cut-off bar should be in place at once. The root of this tree species is easy to take root, and the saw of the root diameter 200mm can still send the fibrous root, so all the roots and branches that hinder the pot and shape in the future should be sawed off decisively.

Secondly, it is necessary to absorb enough water, and if possible, it is best to soak the root upright in water with rooting agents (such as rooting powder, vitamin B12). The treatment time is based on the instructions for the use of rooting agents. Or the whole pile is soaked in clean water for a day and night, and then planted in a sand bed for maintenance. The buried depth of the root is above 20cm, and the old pile and cut-dry pile whose dry diameter is larger than 20cm should be properly deepened. Row pile distance: the distance between medium piles should be more than 0.5m and that of large piles should be more than 1m. This is conducive to the extension of branches, otherwise the branches cover each other, which is not conducive to growth and pruning operation.

Again, after planting should be full of water, so that sand and root gap close contact, usually keep the sand bed moist, often sprinkle water on the tree trunk. If you use 30% Murray 50% sunshade net protection, the effect will be better. In general, it will sprout in late spring and early summer. The Beginning of Autumn can remove the sunshade net in early August to make it enjoy the sunshine. From the end of April to the beginning of May, if there is still an ungerminated stump, scrape its bark with a knife if the top bark is still emerald green instead of withered yellow, it can be pulled out of the sand bed, soaked in water for a day and night and sand planted in half-yin and half-yang for maintenance, it can also promote germination and survival.
