How to shape the bonsai of Luohansong

The bonsai trees of Luohan pine are lush and elegant, ancient and vigorous, with bright green leaves all the year round, with a sense of vitality and nobility. If attached to the rock, made into the posture of eagle claw holding stone, more quaint and chic. Luo Hansong and bamboo, stone group scenery, extremely elegant. Jungle-style Luohan pine bonsai, coupled with grazing scenery, can give people a wild enjoyment. If cultivated properly, after decades or even a hundred years of prosperity, it will become an excellent bonsai of Luohan pine.

The styling of Luo Han Song is mostly carried out in the dormant period, mainly in Panzha, supplemented by pruning. Because the branches of Luohansong are soft, easy to tie, and can be trimmed, so the shape is diverse. The common forms are curved dry type, oblique dry type, horizontal cloud type, cliff type and root type and so on. Branches and leaves can be trimmed into flakes or steamed buns.

The upper basin shape of Luohan pine is mainly climbing and pruning, combined with pruning properly. Climbing should be carried out in the dormant period, with brown silk tie, so that the brown is not exposed, the trunk is bent, the branches are bent, and the posture is natural. The branchlets and leaves are pruned into layers like flakes or hemispheres, with different layers. The branches of Siraitia grosvenorii are soft, easy to climb and resistant to pruning, especially the dense leaves of lobular Siraitia grosvenorii, which can be processed into various forms. Now in order to shape convenient, you can also use wire climbing, to be formed, should be timely removal of wire or brown wire, so as not to trap wire.

During the growth period, we should pay attention to pruning and coring the molded plants in order to prevent the branches and leaves from growing and maintain the graceful posture of Luohansong. When changing the basin, we should pay attention to cut off too many roots and rotten fibrous roots, and at the same time cut off the dense branches and growing branches.

For the bending effect of the trunk, the curved stem can be cultivated on the column. The use of screw and other tools and cutting distortion and other measures to shape the trunk, press and bend the trunk. The height of Luo Han Song is generally controlled from 1.5 meters to 3.5 meters, and the modeling principle is "tree modeling".

1. Backbone modeling:

For the effect of trunk bending, oblique stem and curved stem can be cultivated on the column. The use of wire, screw and other tools and cutting distortion and other measures to shape the trunk, press the trunk to bend and tilt. The height of modeling Luohansong is generally controlled from 1.5 meters to 3.5 meters, and the modeling principle is "due to tree modeling".

2. Branch shape:

Branch modeling includes the choice of branches, the adjustment of direction, the control of growth, the correction of stretching posture and so on. Select the slightly curved trunk of Luohan pine, cut off the weak branchlets, whorled branches and trunk branches below 1 / 3, and carry out branch by branch from bottom to top. Leave the sturdy lateral branch above the main stem 1stroke 3 as the first main branch. Generally, one branch is retained in each layer, and the first branch of the trunk is longer.

The first main branch is wound with wire from the trunk to the first main branch at 45 °to the end, and then the first main branch is bent into an "S" shape with an angle of less than 90 °. The branchlet is bound with the wire in the same plane with the first main branch, and then the whole is trimmed into an oval shape. In the future, there is a suitable distance between the branches of each layer, so that the distribution of branches can be combined with reality and density. Tie up layer by layer in the same way, usually with the thickest length of the first main branch, and then top with the shape of steamed bread, showing a triangular layout as a whole.

Luohan pine has great plasticity and can be processed into a variety of tree shapes, such as curved dry type, oblique dry type, lying type, cliff type and lifting root type and so on. Branches and leaves can be made into cloud type or steamed bread type by cutting and binding, showing ancient and elegant posture. For the modeled bonsai, we must pay attention to heart-picking and pruning to prevent the branches and leaves from growing, so as to maintain the original posture. Pruning and heart-picking work is best carried out during the growth period of spring and autumn.
