What kind of bonsai is this and how to trim it?
This is Liriodendron (Liriodendron? (Lour。 Harms), an evergreen shrub. Many branches, dense branches. Palmately compound leaves with 5-8 leaflets, rectangular, leathery, dark green and shiny. Panicle with red flowers and crimson berries. It is a common plant in evergreen broad-leaved forest in tropical and subtropical areas. Subtropical rain forests originating in Oceania, China, Guangdong, Fujian and South America are also distributed in Japan, Viet Nam and India. Now it is widely planted all over the world.

I like warm, humid and semi-sunny environment. Should be born in acidic soil with deep and fertile soil, slightly barren. The optimum growth temperature of Liriodendron chinense is 16 ~ 27℃. 2 1 ~ 27℃ from March to September, and 16 ~ 2 1℃ from September to March of the following year. It can still grow normally at a high temperature above 30℃. The temperature in winter is not lower than 5℃. If the temperature is lower than 0℃, the plants will freeze the fallen leaves, but if the stems are intact, new leaves will grow in the next spring.

Liriodendron prefers wet to dry. When the air humidity is high and the soil moisture is sufficient, the stems and leaves grow luxuriantly. But too much water will cause waterlogging and root rot. If the basin soil is short of water or dry and wet for a long time, defoliation will occur. Liriodendron chinense has certain adaptability to temporary drought and air drying. Liriodendron has a wide range of adaptability to light, and can grow in full sunshine, half sunshine or half shade. However, the intensity of light has a certain relationship with the color of leaves. When the light intensity is high, the color of leaves turns pale, and when it is half cloudy, the color of leaves turns dark green. In bright light, the color of spotted leaf species is more vivid. Rich, loose and well-drained sandy loam is suitable for this kind of soil. Potted soil is a mixture of peat soil, humus soil and coarse sand.

Widely distributed in Tibet (Chayu), Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces, it is a common plant in evergreen broad-leaved forests in tropical and subtropical regions, and sometimes grows on sunny slopes, with an altitude of 100 ~ 2 100 meters. Japan, Vietnam and India are also distributed.

Liriodendron is easy to sprout long branches, so attention should be paid to shaping and pruning to promote the sprouting of side branches and maintain a good tree shape. Young plants are thinned and lightly cut, mainly in shape. When the old plant is too big, most branches can be cut off again by changing pots, and at the same time, some roots must be cut off and potted again to sprout new leaves. The temperature is high in summer, so to ensure a certain amount of water, you can water it once a day to keep the soil moist, and water it in time when it is dry. When the weather is dry, it is also necessary to spray water on plants for humidification, or spray water on leaves, and pay attention to increasing the environmental humidity. Water twice a week in spring and autumn, and control water properly in winter. If the water supply and demand are unbalanced, the soil is too dry or too wet, or it is placed in the shade for a long time, it will easily lead to leaf loss.
