How should indoor bonsai be placed? A detailed explanation of the latest placement techniques
Placing bonsai in the home is nothing more than to add cultural flavor to the environment and make the layout more flexible, but in daily life we often see awkward situations caused by improper bonsai selection or mismatched occasions of use. When choosing bonsai, in addition to paying attention to the appearance of the bonsai, we should also understand the inner meaning the bonsai is meant to express, so that the decorative role of the bonsai can be brought into full play.
When choosing bonsai, in addition to paying attention to the appearance of the bonsai, we should also understand the inner meaning the bonsai is meant to express, so that the decorative role of the bonsai can be brought into full play. We need to choose bonsai according to certain principles and cannot casually pile up potted plants and bonsai; placing too many bonsai easily gives people a feeling of chaos. We should choose according to the size and layout of the environment's space, and above all it should have character.
Although bonsai can enhance the artistic effect of an indoor space, if attention is not paid to keeping it consistent with the style of the environmental space, it may affect the decorative effect of the bonsai. In daily life we can often see families with European-style decoration choosing ink-wash landscape-style bonsai with a strong Chinese flavor, which inevitably makes people laugh.
In addition, it is enough for bonsai to be suitable; there is no need to pursue large and tall ones. You should know that many small and exquisite bonsai are equally pleasing to the eye, and placing small bonsai in a small apartment can also expand the space and even make the shape of the home more varied. If you are not good at judging the choice of bonsai, you can ask a few friends who understand art and fine arts to help with the purchase, because their understanding of aesthetics is deeper than ours, and they can often offer pertinent and effective suggestions. When buying bonsai, there is also no need to buy ones that are too expensive; it is best to buy ones that are relatively easy to maintain, so as not to affect the comfort of living instead.
1. The background should be simple
Generally, bonsai are plain and unadorned. The background is also required to be simple and light, and by all means avoid a riot of colors. The background is often milky white, light blue, or light yellow.
2. Try not to affect the growth of the plants
Displaying bonsai indoors provides poor light and poor air circulation, affects photosynthesis, and is unfavorable to plant growth, so they should be placed in a sunny spot in turn to benefit the growth of the plants. After placing them indoors for a period of time, the bonsai should be moved outdoors for a period of care.
3. The size of the bonsai should be coordinated with the room space
If the living room or room area is relatively large, the bonsai placed there should also be appropriately larger, so that the two are coordinated. In a living room of more than 20 sq m, placing a small landscape bonsai with a pot length of only 20 cm looks too small.
4. The placement height should be appropriate
For example, landscape bonsai should be placed at a height slightly below eye level, so that the beauty of the curve of the mountain foot and the charm of lakes and mountains can be appreciated. Cliff-style tree bonsai are best placed on a stand above eye level, so that the imposing manner of a tree hanging upside down from a cliff can be displayed.
5. Varieties should be well matched
Generally, the living room area of a family home is not very large, so placing 2-3 bonsai indoors is enough; because landscape bonsai, and the flowering and fruiting types and evergreen bonsai among tree bonsai, belong to different categories, express different scenery, and each has its own characteristics, when placing them, bonsai of different varieties and different categories should be arranged in a staggered way, which is more interesting.
