How to make an asparagus fern bonsai? Master the latest key points

The asparagus fern has a graceful posture, slender and supple branches, distinct layers, and an orderly arrangement of high and low, with cloud-like flat sprays that are elegant and distinctive, winning people's favor. If the asparagus fern is made into a bonsai through a conceived composition and displayed on a balcony or indoors, it appears even more beautiful and serene, adding much pleasure to life. Below are the key points for making an asparagus fern bonsai.

1. Material selection

① Select a 56cm irregular-shaped white marble shallow pot and its matching stand;

② Select two asparagus ferns over 10cm tall and growing well, and one asparagus fern about 20cm tall;

③ Select two pieces of rock only about 10cm tall;

④ Select several horse and sheep accessories of varying sizes;

⑤ An appropriate amount of potting soil and green moss.

2. Shaping

Take the 3 asparagus ferns out of their cultivation clay pots or small plastic pots, and remove half of the old potting soil. First spread a thin layer of potting soil on the surface of the white marble shallow pot, plant the tallest asparagus fern with its curved branches and leaves facing left at the right end of the pot, plant the second tallest asparagus fern not far to the left of the first asparagus fern at a suitable position near the back edge of the pot, then plant the shortest asparagus fern at the boundary between the 1/3 and 2/3 length of the pot, with its curved branches and leaves also facing left, so as to achieve a coordinated and unified orientation for the three asparagus ferns. Then look from afar and examine up close, adjusting the position of the asparagus ferns in the pot until it reaches a natural and graceful effect.

3. Placing stones and laying moss

The branches of the asparagus fern are slender and curved, which is an expression of softness, and the surroundings of the irregular white marble pot are also curved, so this landscape scene has more than enough softness but insufficient masculine strength. A superior landscape scene must combine hardness and softness. At a suitable position toward the right rear on the pot surface, place two upright rock pieces; the rock is hard and its left and right side lines are straight, which is an expression of hardness. On the potting soil on the pot surface, lay a layer of green moss to achieve the artistic effect of greening. Spray clean water onto the asparagus ferns and green moss, and make the potting soil moist.
