Bonsai flowers and flowering bonsai, common methods for making household flowering bonsai

Bonsai originated in China and is divided into two major categories: tree-stump bonsai and landscape bonsai. Bonsai is composed of three elements: the scenery, the pot and the stand (rack), which are mutually connected and mutually influencing, forming a unified whole.

Bonsai uses trees, rocks and the like as materials; through artistic treatment and careful cultivation, it is a handicraft that typically and intensively reproduces the appearance of nature in a pot, and is praised as "silent poetry, three-dimensional painting." Bonsai is also one of the excellent traditional arts of the Han ethnic group, an artwork that uses plants and rocks as basic materials to express natural landscapes within a pot.

Common styles of tree bonsai

Tree bonsai

Tree bonsai is a form of bonsai artistic expression made by taking the myriad forms of tree growth as a model and combining them with aesthetic taste for pruning and refinement. This kind of bonsai best embodies the poetic charm and shaping techniques of tree bonsai.

Waterscape bonsai

Using various rocks as the main material, through careful selection and processing and shaping, it imitates the natural scenery of real mountains and waters, decorated in a tiny pot, displaying landscapes such as sheer cliffs, perilous peaks and deep ravines, and green ridges and jade-green streams, just like a three-dimensional landscape painting.

Water-and-land bonsai

This type of bonsai has both water surface and land, comprehensively expressing the scenery of both water and land.

Rock bonsai

Using natural stones as the main material, through selection, cutting, carving, piecing together and other shaping treatments, dotted with some small plants and ornaments, arranged in a water basin to express natural mountain-and-water scenery.

Tree-stump bonsai

Tree-stump bonsai is mainly based on flowering trees and shrubs. The quality of a tree stump lies in whether its natural form has the potential to be shaped, and in the artistic conception and charm contained in the creator's shaping. Tree-stump bonsai is the epitome of old stumps from the mountains and wilds. The ancient cypress with gnarled branches stretching across the sky, its momentum like a swimming dragon, its trunk twisted and spiraled; the vigorous pine with large branches extending sideways, hanging upside down over the cliff, its branches and leaves like clouds; the graceful nandina with soft branches spreading out, gorgeous flowers and fruit, elegant and refined, are all excellent models for making stump scenery.

To make a pot of exquisite stump scenery, the key is to choose a good tree stump. The most ideal tree stump is a plant with a full form, upright branches and green leaves, and fibrous roots that have not yet dehydrated. In terms of form, tree stumps include the straight-trunk style, cliff-hanging style, weeping-branch style, combined-planting style, prostrate style, orange-tip style, free style and so on. Regardless of length, thickness, straightness or curvature, old or young, light or dark, sparse or dense, thick or thin, all should be natural and free. Before transplanting a tree stump, you need to choose a good flowerpot; the principle is that it can complement the tree stump.

Ficus bonsai

The ficus has a well-developed root system, luxuriant branches and leaves, and a broad canopy. An old ficus looks like a great green mountain. The ficus has a very long lifespan, some reaching over a thousand years, and its vitality is quite strong, hence the saying "a single tree becomes a forest." It is suitable for long-term bonsai cultivation and is worth viewing in all four seasons, making it a superior tree species with heirloom significance. Moreover, it is magically varied and uniquely shaped; the ficus is regarded as a symbol of longevity and good fortune. It implies glory, wealth and honor. Therefore, ficus bonsai has become the best gift for birthday congratulations.

The most beautiful part of the ficus is its roots, gnarled and interlaced, rising and falling unpredictably, with no fundamental difference between root and tree. Many species of ficus exhibit buttress roots, cauliflory, aerial gardens and strangling phenomena, with peculiar and majestic scenery. Ficus bonsai, however, takes the ficus as its material, with the purpose of appreciating the strange forms of the ficus's stump, roots, stems and leaves; through various techniques, its growth and development are controlled, making it a potted ficus bonsai with a unique artistic shape. Below, Huamu China Network will exchange with everyone the production methods and daily care of ficus bonsai.

Elm bonsai

The elm is one of the main tree species of Lingnan bonsai. It has strong vitality and tolerates pruning, and its growth rate ranks first among the five famous trees: orange jasmine, Chinese plum, Fujian tea, elm and tiny little star. It possesses the four basic conditions for making bonsai: "fine leaves, dense branches, thick trunk and exposed roots," and can be cultivated into various tree shapes. The elm is a deciduous tree of the genus Ulmus in the family Ulmaceae and has a long history of cultivation in our country. More than two thousand years ago, in the "Book of Songs, Odes of Tang," there was already the song "On the mountain there is the thorn, in the shade there is the elm."

Elm bonsai can be shaped both during the growing season and during the dormant period, but the budding period should be avoided to prevent excessive loss of sap that would affect plant growth. Its form can be processed according to the basic shape of the tree stump into various bonsai forms such as straight-trunk style, curved-trunk style, slanting-trunk style, dead-wood style, waterside style, cliff-hanging style, and forest style. The canopy can use either the natural style with elegant, sparse branches, or the large tree form with a rounded crown, and can also be processed into a neat round-slice shape. The shaping method uses both wiring and pruning: first use metal wire to coil out the basic form, then carefully prune.

Podocarpus bonsai

Podocarpus bonsai, also known as small-leaf podocarpus, also called sparrow-tongue podocarpus, sparrow-tongue pine, or short-leaf podocarpus, is shrub-like, with short, densely growing leaves mostly borne at the tips of small branches, with white powder on the underside. It is small-tree or shrub-like, with short, densely growing leaves, graceful branches and foliage, ancient yet delicate and vigorous, with a moving posture. In the growing season it sprouts new shoots, and its tender green new leaves are dotted among the dense green foliage. It is quite beautiful and is a first-class material for making bonsai, especially the preferred choice for making miniature bonsai. Short-leaf podocarpus, also known as small podocarpus or podocarpus, is often shrub-like.

During the cultivation and management of flowering bonsai, timely and moderate removal of leaves helps improve the ornamental value of the flowering bonsai, prolong the viewing time, and promote branch sprouting, leaf growth, flowering and fruiting. For different species of flowering trees and shrubs, the leaf-removal period, the amount of leaves removed, the purpose of leaf removal, and the care measures before and after leaf removal are all somewhat different.

Pot cultivation is one of the main methods of greenhouse flower production. It facilitates the control of various living conditions and is conducive to the promotion and control of flower cultivation. It is also easy to move, and can be displayed both indoors and arranged in courtyards. Pot cultivation easily inhibits the vegetative growth of flowers and promotes plant development.
