A bonsai that had been cultivated for half a lifetime was bought by someone for 130,000 yuan. Rich people really are willing to spend money.

Growing bonsai can cultivate one's character. Some people say that if you grow a bonsai poorly, you send it off; if you grow a bonsai well, it sends you off! Although this is a joke, it is also true. Some bonsai do not look like much, but they have already been in pots for over a hundred years. A friend's family had a bonsai that had been cultivated for half a lifetime, and it was bought by someone for 130,000 yuan. Rich people who grow bonsai really are lavish! Let's take a look together.

This really is a top-quality five-needle pine (Pinus parviflora) bonsai. It looks tall and imposing. This five-needle pine was grown to this state and bought by someone for 130,000 yuan. It has also realized its value! However, if you also grow a five-needle pine bonsai and want to make it more valuable, pruning and shaping should start from the young tree, and it is best to do it in winter.

Because the five-needle pine grows slowly in winter, when shaping and bending, it can prevent situations such as breaking the branches or excessive loss of pine resin. The shaping of young five-needle pine trees follows the order of thick first and fine later, processed year by year. First tie and shape the trunk to form the basic skeleton, then year by year shape the main and side branches to achieve a vigorous and beautiful posture.

Many people who grow bonsai like the five-needle pine. It is one of the most ornamental tree species among all bonsai. Even a small pot of it can sell for tens of thousands of yuan. The five-needle pine is an excellent material for making bonsai. Pruning of the five-needle pine can be carried out during the dormant period from late November to late February of the following year. Since the five-needle pine only sprouts terminal buds and does not sprout adventitious buds, it should not be heavily pruned. If pruned too heavily, the wounds easily exude pine resin, and excessive resin flow will affect the growth and development of the five-needle pine.

Growing a pot of five-needle pine bonsai requires tremendous energy and time from selecting the stump to pruning to care. Of course, the economic foundation also determines the grade of playing with bonsai. Ordinary bonsai can be grown by anyone, but anyone who grows bonsai with any pursuit has spent a lot of money on bonsai, so people who can afford to grow rare and precious bonsai varieties really are lavish!
