  Small props for making a bonsai

  Of course, among the props you cannot do without the most important plant props. There are no fewer than a dozen kinds of small plants that can be used for making bonsai, such as money tree (Pachira aquatica), ginseng ficus (Ficus microcarpa), parlor palm, asparagus fern, pennywort, Portulacaria afra, aloe, jade plant (Crassula ovata), and even golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) and so on, all can be used.

  Plant props for making a bonsai

  Combine the plants you like as you please, either into a landscape bonsai or a rock-and-stone bonsai, and make it with your own hands. Think about it, doesn't it feel very fulfilling? Let's first see how the gardening master skillfully creates a scene——

  First, use cement to fix the stones in the purple clay pot. For a landscape bonsai, be sure to leave a drainage outlet, wait a few minutes, and then you can add the plants——

  When making a bonsai, the plants must be removed from their original pots

  Use a brush to sweep the bonsai level, and brush away the soil stuck to the stones

  Use a small shovel to fill the gaps between the stones with soil

  After filling the soil, fix the plants in place and press the soil firm

  Handle the other plants to be added in the same way. Finally, use a brush to sweep away soil particles, insert ornaments such as a small butterfly, small mushroom, or small pavilion, and decorate with colored stones or expanded clay pebbles where needed.

  For a rock-and-stone bonsai, there is no need to water and care for it often; for a landscape bonsai, you can also keep a few small goldfish, isn't that full of delightful charm?

  Look, this is the landscape bonsai our gardening master made in 20 minutes.

  Whether it is a family parent-child experience or a romantic date for couples, experience the joy of landscapes with your own hands and add a touch of green to our memories!
