Bonsai modeling technology of Luohansong

Luohan pine is evergreen in four seasons, with short branches and dense leaves, and its growth rate is slow. The resources of small-leaf tree species are extremely scarce, so using cutting seedlings to produce small bonsai can not only get creative materials, but also help to protect the ecological environment. In the sand bed of raising seedlings in greenhouse, Pinus elliottii can be cut by softwood cutting. the cuttings cut in spring (February-April) or summer (May-June) should choose the unripe and hardened twigs on the sturdy shoots and cut them to grow up to about 8 cm.

Luo Hansong's common techniques are cutting, binding, pressing, binding, hanging and so on. The pruning and modeling is relatively simple, and the modeling techniques such as binding, pressing, binding and hanging are more difficult, and there are higher requirements for the stylist's artistic imagination, operation skills and the stem and branch condition of the tree body. in the modeling process, artistic processing must be carried out according to the natural beauty of the seedling itself, that is, it must be based on tree conditions, beauty and beauty, so that the shape is strong and clear.

1. Scissors: we can make various shapes, such as spherical shape, conical shape, multi-layer spherical shape, etc., by making use of the characteristics of anti-pruning and small leaf shape of Luohansong, which can be trimmed according to the graphics designed in advance. For example, when trimming the three-layer sphere, first choose a tree seedling with obvious trunk and better upright shape. If the trimming design is a three-layer sphere with a total height of 2 meters, the height of the lower layer is about 50 cm, the middle layer is about 40 cm, and the top layer is 30 cm high. all branches between the first and second layers of 45 cm and the second and third layers of 35 cm need to be cut off, and then trim three spheres. The above three balls are getting bigger and bigger, in order to coordinate the proportion to have a better ornamental, generally, the new branch should be pruned when the tip is 20cm to 30cm, which needs to be trimmed many times to make each layer round and compact.

2. Binding: strong bamboo sticks and strong hemp ropes can be selected for modeling, the bamboo sticks and branches can be fastened and fastened with hemp ropes, and then one end of the bamboo stick can be fixed on the trunk, thus by adjusting the direction of the bamboo stick, so that the branches grow in a specific direction according to the wishes of the stylist to achieve the purpose of modeling. It should be noted that the Zafa modeling is suitable for the younger tree, while the older one is difficult and ineffective because of its stout branches.

3. Pressure: pressure modeling is mainly through the method of bending and tilting the trunk, so that the tree body on the slope presents a completely different artistic aesthetic feeling from the vertical plane. Because the branches of Luo Hansong are like human arms, and the clusters of hemispherical leaves grow on the top of the branches like the palms of human hands, coupled with bent trees, it is as if a usher is bending his arms to welcome the guests, which is very vivid. It should be noted that after bending the tree, the inclined end must be supported by a stake to prevent the tree from tilting excessively and falling down, and a moderately thick straw should be padded between the stake and the contact surface of the tree to avoid tree injury.
