Detailed Explanation of Mountain Pine Bonsai Making Techniques: Aftercare Is Crucial

Pinus is a common tree, also known as the horsetail pine, but since it is very common in bonsai, it can be used as a bonsai landscaping material; however, it grows slowly, and the maintenance of the root base is very troublesome, so it can be called a treasure.

The production of Pinus is mainly divided into four parts: collecting, planting, managing and styling. During the process of collecting the stump, attention must be paid to timing, because the resin at the cut end will flow if it is too early or too late. If the bark is damaged during digging, the resin will seal the wound, which is then unfavorable for the tree's survival, so it is best to choose spring, when the value of the remaining root is more stable. It has not yet begun.

At the same time, the remaining root must be treated first, with the wound and root head sealed, the soil quality and intact fibrous roots, and the branches and leaves determined according to the condition of the roots. Finally, for planting it is best to choose a large pot, and for the soil it is also best to use loose soil, as this is beneficial to root growth; a moderate amount of water is needed.

In terms of light, newly planted bonsai plants should be given shade measures, because early root growth is not too strong, and the plant loses too much water. Full survival is not a concern. Of course, it is best to place it in a ventilated spot and pay attention to soil moisture. During the styling process, grafting, cuttings and cuttings should be combined, paying attention to the growth period, otherwise the plant will be damaged.

In the daily care process, there are many details to pay attention to, otherwise it will affect the growth and ornamental quality of the pine bonsai. Pine is a very sun-loving plant; if the light duration is not long enough, it will have a side effect on its growth; it does not have broad leaves like other plants, and its needles must also be regularly treated to remove some dead and aging needles to avoid them draining nutrients from the new needles; the location of the bonsai. The placement is also exquisite. It should be placed in a place with sufficient light and good ventilation, and it cannot be moved frequently. Of course, in strong wind and heavy rain, protective measures should be taken.

It is worth noting that during the planting process, the selected potting soil must not be sterilized. Many people think that sterilization can prevent microorganisms from damaging the plant, but because of the particularity of pine, it is a mycorrhizal species, and it will also be CaUS. Its root lies in the sterilization process. A huge impact will cause the plant's new roots to be unable to grow, ultimately leading to the death of the plant. Therefore, for the production and maintenance of pine bonsai, there are certain techniques, otherwise it is very difficult to keep alive.
