Bonsai is composed of plants, rocks, soil, water and so on. Through artistic creation and horticultural cultivation, the beautiful scenery of nature is formed and concentrated in a basin, shrinking the ground, and the artistic effect of viewing small and medium-sized scenes is achieved. Jingyu Huai is a far-reaching artistic concept, like a three-dimensional beautiful miniature version of a landscape.

Common bonsai are mainly trees and flowers. But have you ever thought about what kind of surprise it would be to use turf as the main material? Let us look at a set of grass bonsai.

Looking at the beautiful grass bonsai above, do you feel any urge to dig grass in the wild?!

Ruixiang is a shrub. The leaves are evergreen, and the branches are trailing. The overall posture is soft. The flowers of Ruixiang are bright, white, yellow, purple, pink, red and so on, and the flowers are very sturdy. Ruixiang bonsai is much favored for its high ornamental quality. Let us learn how to make it.

The first is to select and cultivate Ruixiang seedlings. The layering method or the separation method can be used to propagate Ruixiang. On a growing Ruixiang tree, choose branches with a better shape, and hatch the branches by the insertion or compression method. After the roots have taken hold, they can be transplanted into pots for cultivation. The insertion and removal methods are usually carried out from March to June, and the beading should be carried out from May to June.

If the saplings are cultivated well, they can be placed in pots. It is better to use a purple clay pot for the pot chosen for the Ruixiang bonsai, and the pot used should be slightly deep and round. For the soil used, it is better to choose sandy soil; the soil needs to be fertile and should be drained. Attention should be paid to the time of potting. It is better to do it in April. During this period, the survival rate is relatively high. It can also be done in autumn, but when transplanting in autumn, pay attention to using a little more soil.

After potting, you need to shape the Ruixiang bonsai. The naturally grown tree shape is the most suitable. It looks natural and beautiful. For parts you do not want, it can be shaped by tying with wire, but you must pay attention that when the branches grow to the ideal shape, the wire should be removed in time to prevent indentations and affect the overall image. Tying is better done during the dormant period.

In order to obtain the desired shape, in addition to tying, you also need to prune branches and so on, mainly to cut off some branches that affect the shape or cut them to maintain the tree form. After flowering, you need to cut the flower branches, so that more branches can grow, making the tree look fuller, and you can have more flowers the next year.

The maintenance of Ruixiang bonsai is also very simple; it is usually placed in a semi-shaded and ventilated place. Because it is not tolerant of moisture, watering is not too hard, and dry soil works better, but the soil must not be left dry for too long, especially when the buds start in autumn. Because summer temperatures are high, it is better to water in the morning and evening. Fertilizing does not need to be very diligent. It can be used about 2 times in spring. In summer, it is not fertilized. Applying base fertilizer in winter is enough, but make sure the amount is sufficient.

Pay attention to applying phosphate fertilizer before the buds flower. Ruixiang bonsai generally has no pests or diseases; if found, spray liquid in time. Repotting needs to be done once every 2 years, usually after flowering. When repotting, cut off roots that are too long, but do not prune too many roots.
