Knowledge about air layering propagation of pine bonsai, well worth learning for bonsai enthusiasts

This plant) the pressure in our homes is growing. Open up more meaning in life! It is the same as air layering, but it needs to be rough. Let us first talk about air layering of pines. However, it is rarely applied in practice. There are more records in coherent research and papers.

In spring, first use a wire ring to girdle the large growth ring, cut the upper edge of the ring into a toothed shape, then apply something to the upper edge of the wire and apply rooting powder (using the outflowing sap), avoid rain and moisture, after 2 months, reach the upper edge. Root bud eyes, only fill the pot, after two months, it is said that in fact there will be many roots.

Another main task, forcing buds, compiling buds is to cut off 2/3 of the unnecessary branches, 1/3 of the target is to drive water and promote roots.

The root characteristics of pines determine the choice of their growth and development.

Pines, usually called frontier, are barren and suitable for afforestation of barren hills and poor slopes. The main root system of pines is vigorous and can weather rocks, but there are very few fibrous roots. Even when pines are planted on the night of the great year, the survival rate of bare-root seedlings is very low, such as Masson pine, except for pines, Buddhist pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus) and others, it can reach 70%.

The fat of pines hinders the differentiation and expansion of root bud cells. First, wrap two sections with aluminum wire on the pine branch, separate the two sections by one inch, forcing it to bulge. As a picture

Cut a circle with scissors, remember not to cut too deep, cut off the stem and play.

Then peel off the fallen bark. At this point, the trunk can provide nutrients to the pine branches.

Below the branch you want to grow, the bark should be cut into a V shape, next to the scissors.

Then, rooting powder will stick and be applied, so you can paint more, continue looking at the picture.

Do not let it get wet. After two months, it will sprout.

At this point, you can add soil to the bottle.

When it has grown enough roots, it can be transplanted.

Pines are rich in pine resin; when the epidermis is damaged, white rosin flows out, accumulates and coagulates at the wound site, hindering the differentiation of healing tissue, forming root bud cells, hindering the expansion of root bud cells, and affecting the roots. Air layering or cuttings need to include coherent treatment, which is rather troublesome, otherwise it affects survival. The containment of air layering or cuttings

For example, for a certain species that needs to adopt this development method, one is to choose trees in spring, summer and autumn to accommodate the peak season; second, choose sturdy 1-2 year old branches as scions; third, include rooting powder + carbendazim solution to inhibit wound penetration. Fourth, the medium must be completely compacted and sealed.
