How do you make a stone bonsai? A simple method that you can learn in no time

Making a stone bonsai means connecting trees to crevices or grooves in stone, with the roots forming crevices or grooves, the branches and trunks gnarled and winding into hollows or around the stone, or hanging over the stone, or slanting and clinging to the wall, so that the strange stones and plants are in harmony with nature.

Two popular types of stone bonsai are made: water and stone. In making the water-side bonsai, the water pen uses more porous stone, such as water-absorbing stone and sandstone. It should be planted in the position of the tree. The tree roots are first led into the stone hollow, and the soil is filled in as mud. The soil and roots are soaked with a bamboo stick, the soil and stone are soaked through, and the whole thing is placed in a shallow pot. Place it in a cool spot. Sprinkle water on the rockery, and in the face of humidity, other plants can be given light after they have recovered and put out new shoots.

Dry stone bonsai uses hard stone, such as Yingde stone (many textures), and embeds the roots of the tree in the crevices of the stone. According to the long growth of the dry epiphytic plant, remove the leaves, clear the roots, clear the soil, use the texture of the stone to lead the roots into the crevice, then place the stone and tree upright on the soil, and bury the fine roots of the tree. Then put it in a cool place, and contend with the stone and tree every day. Remember not to let sunlight shine directly on the roots in the stone crevice, so that the stone does not absorb heat and burn the roots and cause the plant to die. It is hoped that the soil moisture in the stone crevice will be favorable to plant growth.
