Modeling Technology of Cypress Bonsai

Cypress fighting cold proud snow, firm and upright, is the length of a hundred trees, element for righteousness, noble, longevity, immortal symbol. Cypress modeling due to different leaves and pine, so the level should not be too clear. The wood of cypress is resistant to decay, and can be created into the shape of dead branches and dry stems. The dry stems can be peeled, and the dead branches can be shaped with live branches. After shaping, peeling can be done. Cypress bonsai multi-use Platycladus orientalis tree species, but Platycladus orientalis branches and leaves rough chaos, general shape monotonous, after forming gives people a sense of chaos, affecting the ornamental value, this is its shortcomings.

Platycladus orientalis trunk old and changeable, large branches easy to shape, this is the strength of Platycladus orientalis. In the creation of Platycladus orientalis bonsai, if you can develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, return to simplicity, adopt Qufu, Lingyan Temple's ancient cypress natural form for blue wood, highlight the trunk old. in that branch of the main branch, the scattered shape is adopt, the proportion of the main branches is coordinated, the twists and turns are changeable, the amount of messy thin branch and leaves is reduced, the disadvantages of coarse and disorderly leaves can be overcome, and the appreciation value of Platycladus orientalis can be improved.

Before shaping, it is necessary to repeatedly examine its tree potential, depending on the straight and wrong of the trunk and the position of the main branch, so as to make the best use of the situation. It is necessary to make the first intention, and it can be shaped from bottom to top. The vertical planes between layers should not overlap too much to facilitate growth and light transmission, otherwise the shaded parts will naturally wither out of control.

For transplantation in the mountains, the roots on the ground should be thick and evenly distributed, the trunk should have a certain curvature and change, and the thickness of the branches, especially the thickness of the main branches and the trunk, should be coordinated. The length of the upper and lower branches is generally long and short. From the front of appreciation, the branches are short and the branches are long. The trunk and main branches should be exposed. The proportion of the main branches at the bottom of the trunk should be coordinated.

Optimization of a cypress potted plant:

Cypress tree before optimization. On the front side, the branches and leaves are plump, and the whole leaves are only seen, but the branches are not seen.

Optimize the front and back, there are beautifully shaped relics can be used.

Cypress branches and leaves detail picture, tree vigor is very vigorous, growth is also very healthy.

Close-up before root optimization, part of relic bone decayed, many mold spots growing.

After optimization effect.

The main thing is to streamline the branches and leaves, highlight the direction and connection between the branches and leaves, polish the relics, clean the bark, and let the stems, branches, leaves and relics complement each other.

Transplant wild piles, not scattered roots transplant, planting the best use of the original mountain soil. Plant good post-ventilation sunny place, frequently spray foliar water, pot soil surface is not dry when watering, pine new pile that year do not fertilize.

On the basis of the original technique, the advantages of other places are also absorbed, and the metal wire binding shaping method is used. According to the thickness of the branches, the metal wires of corresponding thickness are selected, and the branches at improper angle positions are twisted and hung to meet the needs of shaping.

The production of pine and cypress bonsai in the use of metal wire binding shaping method, according to the thickness of the branches to choose the corresponding thickness of the metal wire, the improper angle of the branches twisted, hanging tie, in order to meet the needs of shaping.

Trunk and thick branches that are not easily bent by wire and hanging can be bent by finger insertion method successfully tested for many years. For large and thick branches, use a knife to cut deep to half the diameter above the part to be bent, and the length depends on the need. Cut several strips in this way, and cut off the head of each strip horizontally, and the other end is reversed. If bent hard, the horizontal broken head will tilt, as if the two hands are inserted obliquely. After the main branch or trunk is fixed, the tilted part can be embedded in the groove and wrapped with adhesive tape, so that it can heal well after two or three years.

The pine and cypress trees in the natural mountain temple generally pass the strong age, that is, they stop growing to the heights. The lateral growth of branches increased, branches densely extended length, branches drooping due to weight and rain and snow, and twigs on branches overgrown. Therefore, when shaping, the branches and branches should be kept at a horizontal or drooping angle, the size of the angle depends on its needs, and the branches can have lateral bends. The top branches of the knot are older if they can droop. Due to the modeling reasons do not rule out the coexistence of lower branches and upper branches, but to conform to the law of growth in the natural environment.
