Detailed Explanation of the Care Methods and Characteristics of Boxwood Bonsai

I used to know poplar, but I didn't know the Chinese poplar, but I often thought Populus was boxwood, but I am still seriously studying the science. Many people don't know. Teaching people with my knowledge gives a good feeling.

A poet of the Yuan Dynasty wrote a poem about boxwood. Its main idea is that although the boxwood tree is small, its branches and leaves are firm, rooting and twining. Over the years, it is as tough as a pine tree in winter. From his poem, we can imagine what the qualities of boxwood are like.

Knowing these is only a kind of indication. We should learn more about the protection of boxwood. Protection is nothing more than light, water, fertilizer, pruning, etc. No matter which aspect, we must grasp it well. First, let's talk about sunlight. Green plants need sunlight. Without sunlight, they cannot breathe. But you cannot be exposed under the sun all day, and sometimes you need to prevent them from basking in the sun. Populus, this is very unusual, the first point, that is, in normal cultivation, it is necessary to put it in a cool place, it is strongly taboo against light, so it is best to give it bright scattered light, which is most favorable for the growth of Populus. It can receive morning light or receive sunset light, but it is not suitable for receiving midday exposure.

The second point is about watering the boxwood tree. It grows in dried-up rivers, so its water strength is very strong, and it is necessary to water it more, but it is necessary to water it, and also consider the body of the season. We should mediate according to incompatible seasons, in an uncoordinated way. The season is incompatible, and its water demand is incompatible. Like the monotonous winter season, we need to give it more water three times a day. In spring and autumn, if the humidity is heavier, we should give it a small amount of water to reduce it.

The second point is the fertilization of Japanese euonymus. The necessary fertilizer is rare nitrogen fertilizer, preferably natural fertilizer. The best fertilizer is human and animal waste, to suppress the appearance of phosphate fertilizer. Give it sufficient nutrition, and it will stop its normal coloring mechanism, just like people can eat enough to work. To explain boxwood pruning, its trunk is not fast, but the branches grow fast, so it is very important to stop pruning at the appropriate time, so that it can be more beautiful, and not inelegant.

Pruning is due to the condition of the tree and cannot be an old dogma, following pruning for pruning's sake. If pruning for pruning's sake is more beautiful but not elegant, then how to prune, mediate in real time. In fact, repair and cutting have two parts, one is repair, and the other is scissors, but boxwood needs cutting more. Pruning will certainly be frightening, and it will not hurt it.
