Modeling skills of Plum Blossom Bonsai

The ornamental value of the old pile plum blossom bonsai is very high, but if you want to create a beautiful plant type effect, fully reflect its ornamental value and artistic charm, it is difficult to achieve without years of cultivation and modeling treatment. The two most important means involved in the modeling process of plum blossom bonsai are pruning and binding. Today, the editor will share with you the modeling skills of plum blossom bonsai.

Just now the editor has mentioned that the modeling treatment of plum blossom bonsai is mainly carried out by means of pruning and binding. Plum blossoms usually blossom in winter and spring and blossom first and then grow leaves. Most of its flower buds are formed in the summer and autumn of the first year, and if we prune them before they sprout in early spring, we will often cut off the flower branches and touch the flower buds. Therefore, the pruning of plum blossoms is generally suitable to be carried out within 1-2 weeks.

Pruning at this time, as the plant has gradually begun to restore growth, the original sap flow in the tree is also relatively rapid, the plant is full of vitality, so the range of pruning should not be too large, the degree should not be too deep. And in the previous plant flowering process consumed too many nutrients, pruning can save part of the nutrient supply to new buds, but still can not meet the needs of growth and germination. Therefore, after pruning, it is also necessary to combine topdressing for maintenance.

The root system of plum blossom is more developed, which is not only resistant to pruning, but also has strong germination ability. In particular, the germination of leaf buds is very rapid, it is easier to form branches. And flower branches vary in length, we can be divided into long, medium and short three forms, but generally within 20 centimeters of flower branches flowering effect is the best, there are many and beautiful. Of course, flowers can also be bloomed on short flower branches with a total length of 2 cm, but long flower branches more than 30 cm generally have very few flowers, and even if there are flowers, they often only appear at the tip of the branch.

For the plum blossom tree species, its flower buds are usually formed on the current year's branches, and hidden buds often appear on the old branches, which can form short flower branches and bloom. However, the main branch of plum blossom is often very exuberant but can not form flower buds, because it focuses on growing branches. Therefore, we can truncate these long branches properly, so that they can sprout side branches, and when the next summer and autumn season, the newly formed side branches will become flower branches and form flower buds.

Of course, in the process of pruning the bonsai of plum blossoms, in addition to cutting short long branches to promote their sprouting, we also need to cut off the overgrown branches which are useless but easy to destroy the plant type. If there are weak branches, disease and insect branches, overlapping branches, cross branches, sheltered branches and other bad forms of branches, we should not hesitate to cut off. This can not only save nutrients and promote the germination of new branches, but also improve the ventilation and light transmittance of bonsai and make the plants grow luxuriantly in the later stage.

In addition to pruning, we also need to take appropriate binding or binding measures to enhance the modeling effect of bonsai. As it is easier for new plum branches to grow upward naturally, in order to make the tree more beautiful, it is sometimes necessary to bind some branches with the help of ropes, so that they can extend according to the growth direction we need and bend according to our will. in order to achieve a better ornamental effect.

However, for the modeling treatment of plum blossom bonsai branches, it is usually required to be true and natural, for example, if the branches are completely upward, it is usually not more than three bends. And in the specific modeling process, it is best to combine pruning and binding, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort, and the shape of bonsai is more vigorous and simple, and the posture is more beautiful.
