Pruning modeling technology of rhododendron bonsai

Cuckoo bonsai is a work of art, the pursuit of its artistic characteristics, it is necessary to talk about the perfect combination and comprehensive display of family roots, piles, stems and branches. Generally speaking, it is difficult to change the roots and piles of rhododendron bonsai, but it is easy to use the branch method and has a rich space for expression. The branch method can be used to improve the shape and layout of rhododendron bonsai, realize the struggle and concession, call and response, care and hope, express his charm and enhance the ornamental effect.

Processing:

Rhododendron seedlings on the basin, generally 3-4 years can start processing. The branches of rhododendron are brittle and should not be over-clambered, only the trunk branches are properly shaped, and it is better to climb with brown silk. Other branches are trimmed. When pruning, we should pay attention to adjust the strong and weak branches, heavy pruning of strong branches and light pruning of weak branches. Climbing is generally carried out in spring, and the branches are soft and easy to climb during the growing period.

Tree shape:

The common tree shape of cuckoo is straight dry type, curved dry type, oblique dry type, and can also be processed into exposed root type, cliff type, stone-attached type, connected root type and so on. Through artistic modeling, we can achieve the beautiful bonsai of watching flowers, appreciating dry flowers, looking at roots and discussing shape.

The branch method of rhododendron bonsai is mainly realized by cutting and pruning under the premise of intentional composition. Of course, the cuckoo bonsai is restricted by its own characteristics, and the branch method is not as comprehensive as miscellaneous trees, but the commonly used branch methods such as natural branches, floating branches, parallel branches, falling branches and drooping branches are more suitable.

Pruning-first, the branches that are stored in place are cut off according to the conceived position, and the germinating new branches are cut off to a certain thickness, so alternately and repeatedly, until they meet the desired requirements; the second is to cut off messy branches, thinning and ventilation, and improving lighting to promote growth: the third is to protect and trim the stereotyped works, and cut off the branches that grow crazy and affect the aesthetic appearance in a timely manner.

Panza: it is an important form of rhododendron bonsai branch production. Rhododendron billet is characterized by brittle branches, thin skin, improper banding, easy to break branches and hurt skin, light to affect growth, heavy to cause death, pay attention to cuckoo bonsai banding to U two points:

1. The branches whose diameter is less than 10mm should be pulled and tied to the ideal position or angle directly with metal wire. The specific operation is to wrap around the branches with black plastic film before banding, and then wrap the wire with appropriate thickness according to the branch size, pull or tie it to the desired position. Winding branches with black plastic film, one is black to protect the shade, the other is to protect the bark, prevent the wire from directly injuring the bark, and also prevent the bark from being burned by wire at high temperature.

2. The thick branches with the diameter of about 30mm are modeled by the operation of "breaking the muscles and moving the bone". First use the rod breaker to break the rough branch waterline according to a certain length, twist and knead slightly, then wrap it tightly with black insulating tape, and then slowly knead it. Before pulling, the branches and branches should be properly strengthened to prevent cracks during pulling. All branches that are tied and pulled should be untied in time after the tree is fixed.
