Dwarfing modeling skills of bamboo bonsai

Bamboo germinates and grows faster, so we should pay attention to pruning in order to maintain the graceful posture of bamboo bonsai. From June to July every year, when the growth of Hsinchu is completed, it will be renewed and pruned. In the future, new bamboo shoots should be removed immediately, so as not to disturb the shape of bamboo bonsai and consume nutrients to affect the growth of mother bamboo. Usually as long as a little careful maintenance, so that it always maintain the beautiful landscape and branches and leaves green, elegant, beautiful, a pot of bamboo bonsai can be enjoyed by people for a long time.

In order to increase the beauty of bamboo bonsai, the roots can be planted when the bamboo goes into the pot. After a stage of bamboo growth and development, part of the root topsoil is removed, so that part of the bamboo roots are exposed on the topsoil, showing the potential of hanging roots and claws, revealing the beauty of bamboo roots, which is very enjoyable to watch. Of course, in order to create beautiful bamboo bonsai, the dwarfing link is particularly important. Here are the dwarfing modeling skills of bamboo bonsai:

[selected varieties]

Potted bamboo should be small bamboo with narrow leaves and slow growth, such as big Buddha belly bamboo, Luohan bamboo, square bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, purple bamboo, spotted bamboo, rice bamboo, diamond bamboo and so on.

[shallow pot is suitable for planting]

Bamboo prefers acidic, slightly acidic or neutral soil. The soil in the north is strongly alkaline and 0.2% liquid iron sulfate can be added. Sandy loam with loose and good drainage is selected for basin soil. When transplanting potted bamboo, it is first placed in an ordinary mud basin, after a slow seedling period of 30 to 40 days, and then transplanted to a shallow basin after survival, not too much filling, too much basin soil, and its root system grows too fast, so it is difficult to control the height of bamboo.

[keep new bamboo shoots]

The shooting period of potted bamboo is generally from April to September, among which July to August is the early and peak period, when there are many shoots, the internodes are short and sturdy, and the quality of mature bamboo is good, so it should be selected as far as possible.

[timely water control]

Bamboo likes to be wet and afraid of stagnant water. After the basin is installed, the water should be watered thoroughly for the first time, and the basin soil should be kept moist and "dry and thoroughly watered" after that. In the new bamboo shoots unearthed and vigorous growth period, properly control watering, keep the basin soil dry, bask in the sun more, control its top growth, make it short and strong. Watering should be carried out before 9 o'clock in the morning and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Spray water to the leaves 2 or 3 times a day in hot summer to avoid scorching the leaf tips. Avoid rain and stagnant water on cloudy and rainy days to prevent root rot.

[topdressing should be less]

Bamboo likes fertilizer, fertilization should be based on organic fertilizer, such as compost, ring manure, green manure. However, topdressing of potted bamboo should be reduced as much as possible, and only thin fertilizer can be used. 0.5% urea and 1% compound fertilizer should be applied in spring and summer. In order to promote the growth of potted bamboo, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was applied properly in the later stage of growth.

[properly stripping bamboo shoots]

7 to 10 days after the new bamboo shoots were unearthed, when the height is about 10 cm, one or two bamboo shoots shells can be stripped from the bottom to the top every other day according to the growth situation, so as to make them mature ahead of time, inhibit their growth and promote their dwarfing.

[reasonable plastic surgery]

Potted bamboo should be short and concentrated, and the number of bamboo shoots is often odd. 3, 5 and 7 bamboo shoots are planted in each pot. Those bamboo shoots with long nodes, improper location and weak growth should be cut off in time. When the remaining bamboo shoots and bamboos reach the ideal height needed for composition, the top tip should be removed to promote the sending of side branches, and the tip should also be removed when the side branches reach a certain height.
