Modeling method of Elm Bonsai

According to the basic shape of the old pile, the elm bonsai should be made into different forms of bonsai, such as straight dry type, curved dry type, oblique dry type, water-facing type, cliff type, wind type, jungle type, stone-attached type and so on. Modeling time can be dormant period after falling leaves, can also be carried out in the growing period, but must avoid the budding period.

The formed elm bonsai was planted in purple sand basin before sprouting in spring, and the sandy soil with loose air permeability, good drainage and rich humus was selected for planting. It is best to use the ratio of yellow sand: pine needle soil: loess = 4:3:3, this kind of soil is both breathable and water-retaining, and will not accumulate water. Usually placed in a place with good ventilation and sufficient light for maintenance, it is best to keep the basin soil dry.

When it is hot and dry in summer, it can sprinkle water on the ground around the plant, but it is not suitable to spray water directly to the leaf surface, so as not to make the leaf bigger and lose its sense of beauty. Do not rush to fertilize after the survival of the new pile, which is an important reason for the failure of many people to raise billet, which should be applied again after autumn, and it is best to apply fully mature dilute liquid fertilizer.

The germination of elm is very strong, growing fast, the growing season should be often pruned, cut off too long, disorderly branches, in order to maintain the beauty of the tree. The best viewing period of elm bonsai is when the new leaves are just coming out, if all the leaves are removed in the first and middle of August, and the fertilizer and water management will be strengthened later, new leaves will grow again in late September to improve the ornamental value.

The shape of elm should be cut, cut and used at the same time. According to the basic form of the old pile, the trunk can be made into many forms, such as straight dry type, curved dry type, inclined dry type, horizontal dry type, facing water type, wind blowing type, jungle type or cliff type and so on. Elm has a well-developed root system, which is very suitable for making root-lifting or stone-attached bonsai.

The modeling time is mainly in the dormant period after deciduous leaves, the elm branches are soft, the sprouting power is strong, the growth is fast, the branches and leaves are luxuriant and resistant to pruning, and the branches and leaves are often trimmed into clouds. Prune frequently during the growing season. When the new branches grow to 4cm or 6cm, cut off the long branches and cut short the branches that are too long and messy to keep the tree shape graceful.

Picking leaves can promote leaf germination and make leaves smaller. The best viewing period for elm bonsai is to remove all the old pieces in early autumn when the new leaves are unfolded. By strengthening the management of water and fertilizer, new leaves will grow again in 20 to 30 days, re-enter the ornamental period, and delay falling leaves.
