1, wipe the bud
When the cedar bonsai in the planting, it will grow a lot of new buds. So this time to appropriate wipe out some buds, effectively avoid excessive nutrient consumption, so that by wiping the buds, you can make the red bean bonsai grow better.
2, centering
Red bean bonsai its branch growth is not balanced, there are strong and weak. Due to various reasons caused by double head, multi-head, can be used to remove the branch growth point of the method to inhibit its growth, in order to achieve the purpose of balancing the branch potential.
3, short cut
Short cut is to cut off a part of the annual branches, short cut light short cut, short cut, heavy short cut, very heavy short cut. In pruning can be based on different situations to choose.
4, thinning
Thinning is from the base of the branch or group of branches will be all cut off, the role is to make the remaining branches to enhance the growth potential, nutrient area to expand, to achieve the purpose of growth and development. After the thinning of branches less, in favor of flower buds flowering and fruiting.
5, pulling branches
Pulling branches is the use of pulling methods, so that the branch or large branch group to change the original direction and location, and continue to grow. The cedar bonsai branches to the four sides of the pull, the main branch angle to 70 degrees is good. This is conducive to dry stirring the space occupied by the crown, slowing down the growth rate of the tree.
6, carve wound
Carve wound is in the branch or branch trunk with a knife to remove part of the bark or xylem, affecting the branch or branch growth. Carving is mainly in the missing part of the branch, so that the nutrient accumulation in the bud, promote the development of new branch growth.
Expand: the principle of red bean cedar bonsai pruning
1, to the red bean cedar bonsai pruning, can be divided into the growing period of pruning and dormant period of pruning; can also be based on its physical, injury flow, wind and cold, frost damage, etc. to judge.
2, through pruning to let the plant to maintain proportional, beautiful tree shape; improve the ventilation environment, reduce pests and diseases.
Redbud culture methods and precautions
1, soil
Redbud culture should be used loose, rich in humus, water, fertilizer, breathable soil. You can choose to use charcoal soil, perlite, etc. and loam with a mixture of substrate. Because clay soil is not breathable, sandy soil fertilizer, water retention is poor, so they are not suitable for use. In addition, the red bean cedar breeding should be timely fertilization of the soil, once per plant with organic fertilizer 0.2 pounds and 0.02 pounds of compound fertilizer is good, can also increase the application of farmyard manure, cake fertilizer (such as cottonseed cake, peanut cake, hemp cake) and so on.
2, fertilization
Fertilizer should try to sprinkle along the walls of the pot, not close to the roots of the cedar. Generally newly purchased cedar bonsai within the nutrient soil, the beginning of the 3 months do not need to fertilize, can wait 2 ~ 3 months before applying.
3, light
Sequoia sex like cool growing environment, so in the breeding process, to appropriate shade, should not be placed in direct sunlight, that will make the sequoia's water evaporate quickly, resulting in dehydration of the branches and leaves, leaves dry. In the summer time, during the day, you can place the red bean tree in the living room, balcony, corner and other places; until the evening, and then put it on the window sill for air. At the same time, no light will also affect the growth of the red bean tree, so in the sunshine is not strong column climate, should make it appropriate to receive sunlight.
4, watering
Normal cedar leaves are erect, bright, found that the foliage appeared to commission, it should be watered, if the foliage sagging, it shows that the lack of water is serious. It is best to keep the soil at about 40% moisture content by watering the redbuds once every 15-20 days for outdoor placement and once every 20-25 days for indoor ones. At different times of the year, plants need different amounts of water, with more water needed during the growing season (March through November) and less than less during the dormant season (December through February). That is, spring and fall seasons generally 5 to 7 days to water once, summer is 3-5 days to water once, winter 7 to 10 days to water thoroughly.
5, pest control
Normal conditions, the red bean tree breeding pests are very few. If you find that the red bean trees appear yellowing or pests, can be used to water or spray with metribuzin, potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used.
6, growing environment precautions
Farming Metasequoia pots should be used slightly larger, you can play a few more holes in the lower part of the pot, in order to enhance the seepage of the pot and air permeability.
Radish douglas fir is relatively susceptible to root rot, stem rot, and root rot during the rainy season, especially in young trees, which can be maintained by spraying with diclofenac. When encountering high temperature and dry season, the red bean trees are prone to leaf blight and red blight, which can be controlled by spraying Bordeaux solution.
Today's sharing is these, I hope to help you.
