Modeling Technology of Red Plum Bonsai

Red plum can not only be planted as a potted plant in the courtyard to beautify the environment, but also can be made into bonsai for viewing. But if we want to turn it into a bonsai, we need to master certain pruning techniques. So, how to shape the red plum bonsai?

Plum blossom bonsai is an excellent traditional Chinese art, especially red plum bonsai. It can bloom in winter with proud posture, bringing a trace of warmth and joy to people in the cold winter. In order to show its unique charm, today the editor will share its modeling technology for you.

The modeling of red plum bonsai often adopts the means of "rough binding and fine cutting". When the diameter of the red plum trunk reaches about 1 cm, we can flatten it. Because its branches are resistant to flat binding, we can also tie its side branches properly with the help of brown wire or metal wire.

For the newly sprouting flowering branches in that year, we can according to the needs of modeling design, we can also use brown wire or metal wire to tie it properly. Especially in winter, the trunk and big branches of red plum should also be properly processed. If it is a new branch, it should be processed in September, but the operation should be careful to avoid damaging the flower bud.

In terms of tree shape, in order to show the red plum bonsai in an elegant manner, we need to pay more attention to it. Most of the plum blossom bonsai take "qu" as its beauty, but if it is too straight and towering, it will have no posture and look not elegant, so it will lose its ornamental value to a large extent; if it is beautiful with "beauty", it will not be able to show its branches if it is too regular and decent; if it is beautiful with "sparse", it will not be able to reflect its branches once it is too dense.

In China, red plum bonsai is often designed according to the above specifications. The main point is that the horizontal inclination of the trunk is generally elegant, and the branches and leaves should be stretched freely. Especially the branches and leaves, properly reduce the branches and leaves, let it show in a relatively sparse state, blooming red plum blossoms and its mutual contrast, can better show the elegant interest of bonsai. But it can not be too sparse, to be dense properly, so that its flaws do not cover up, Yu do not hide defects, so as to make Hongmei bonsai works poetic.
