However, in order to fix the stone in the flowerpot and then make the stone-attached bonsai, we usually choose a flowerpot with holes in the bottom, then lay a layer of barbed wire in the basin, and then use the wire to pass through the holes in the bottom of the pot, including through the barbed wire.

The next thing we need to do is to attach stone to the elm and choose the appropriate style according to the design needs. The original then tied and fixed the elm and stone with the help of wire and thread. Then pour a layer of particle matrix into the basin and put the pre-bound elm and stone into the basin.

However, the second watering should be carried out in the morning and evening when the summer temperature is more than 30 °C. when the autumn temperature is below 20 °C, it can be watered once at about 4: 00 in the afternoon. when the winter temperature is below 10 °C, we should choose to water at noon when the temperature is relatively high, and the watering frequency should be strictly controlled.
