How to make the plum pile bonsai look old and simple

The old pile bonsai of plum blossoms is beautiful, free and easy and full of charm, which is favored by the majority of bonsai lovers. Plum blossom bonsai can not only bring us a sense of beauty, but also add a lot of fun to life. However, a plum pile with considerable ornamental value and artistic effect should first raise its glass to the appearance of quaint and dragon bell, so many bonsai artists use Qiu lamination to create old plum blossom bonsai.

Plum blossom tree is relatively easy to breed, its varieties are quite many, and it is also relatively easy to shape. Using the way of raising seedlings to cultivate plum blossom trees is a good way to cultivate plum stakes in the later stage. However, the plum pile cultivated according to the conventional method will be defective due to the lack of old and simple sense. So, how to turn the plum blossom tree into a simple and old plum stake?

First, lure moths

In the season when ants and other insects are more active, we can use tools to manually cut the phloem of the plum tree, drill a hole in the woody part, and then inject some honey to lure ants to absorb sugar and gnaw on the woody part at the same time. After repeating this method several times, coupled with proper pruning, the plum blossom tree will soon become a simple plum pile with a sense of vicissitudes.

Second, cut dry and make scar.

Generally speaking, the front of the plum pile bonsai is the viewing surface, and in order to make it look old, we can also achieve this effect by manual intervention. Usually you can use a carving knife to cut the bark properly, then peel off some of the bark, and then use a chisel to remove the wood part of 1gam3 with a groove. Of course, do not remove too much wood, otherwise it is easy to hurt the bones and muscles of the tree, affecting the growth and even survival. After this operation, after a long time, the wound on the tree will slowly scar and look very old. Of course, this is also the effect we need.

Third, carve scars

This method is also carried out on the viewing surface, or first peel off part of the bark, use chisels to cut holes of different sizes in the wooden part of the trunk, and then embed small stones of the right size into them. And carving and scars can not be too much, which needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the bearing capacity and shape and size of the tree. Otherwise, it will not only fail to create the aging effect we need, but will also be counterproductive.

4. Embedding seedlings

First of all, we need to choose a dead but very graceful old pile, in order to create the simple old vision we need, we first need to carry out simple pruning. Generally, the long branches and the dead branches that affect the modeling effect are trimmed off, and then the grooves are cut down on the back of the old pile, and then embedded in the plum blossom seedlings. Of course, to make sure the seedlings survive, remember to fill them with soil and moss, then spray some water, and then tie them up with ropes. After a long time, the trunk of the seedling will be full of grooves and release the rope when it is stabilized. Using this method to create old piles, it is generally difficult to find obvious traces, appears to be more natural, and to achieve the effect of false and real, giving people a kind of visual experience of dead wood.

Fifth, artificial branch breaking

Usually, we use pruning and climbing to shape the bonsai, but we usually break the branches and then tear them apart to make the plum pile. The use of this method generally needs to be carried out many times, and the number of branches should not be too much each time, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of the old pile. After breaking and tearing the branches for many times, the corresponding scars will be formed after the woody part of the branches are healed, giving people an image with a sense of vicissitudes through the wind and rain, but also highlights a kind of natural beauty.

Sixth, pry open the bark

In order to create the quaint old feeling we need, we can also pry open the bark artificially and separate it from the wood part. After the bark is separated from the wood, with the passage of time, the wound will gradually heal, but by this time a raised, abrupt and tumor-like part has been formed. This method is also used to grasp the degree, especially in terms of quantity, so as not to cause excessive damage to the old pile.

Hammering the old pile

In addition to the above means, we can also achieve the effect we need by hammering the old pile. This method looks violent, and it is not easy to control the power, so we need to proceed with caution. But this method is very effective, by hammering the tree, the old pile is bound to show an uneven shape. Because local injury will accelerate cell division, the beaten part will form wound healing tissue and grow uneven, with local uplift. Through this method, we can also make the plum pile show in an old and simple manner. (written by: laughing Book 2017-09-20 23:05)
