How to manage mountain pine bonsai to fully show its aesthetic feeling?

Speaking of bonsai, everyone likes it very much, especially the mountain pine bonsai, which is a must. The branches are vigorous and strange, the roots are exposed, and the lush and charming leaves are elegant and beautiful. However, the beauty of mountain pine bonsai lies not only in the artistic attainments of the producers, but also in our usual careful care.

So what can we do to keep the graceful posture of the pine? Let me briefly say my opinion.

First, see more sunshine.

Mountain pine is a plant that loves sunshine very much. Under the sunshine, the leaves will be lush and the pine needles will be short and charming. As long as it's not summer, you can basically see the light outdoors all day and be nourished by the sun. If the temperature is too high in summer, because there is little soil in the basin, try not to expose yourself to the sun. At noon, you can block too poisonous light and spray water to cool down.

Second, learn to water.

Theoretically, the root system of Pinus taiwanensis likes a slightly dry environment and has certain drought tolerance. However, due to the lack of pot soil, proper watering is still essential, otherwise it will easily lead to the lack of bonsai of Pinus taiwanensis, which will lead to the atrophy of plant leaves and even the dryness of some branches. Practice has proved that watering can keep the soil slightly wet during the growing period, but it is still loose and will not have any influence; The soil can be kept slightly dry in winter, and proper watering is very important to maintain the charming state of Pinus armandii.

Of course, if there is too much precipitation in summer, pay attention to cover the flowerpot to avoid soaking.

Third, apply fertilizer according to the growth law.

Most natural Pinus taiwanensis live on relatively barren land, which has strong regional barren tolerance. Therefore, when fertilizing Pinus taiwanensis, the fertilizer should not be too much or too thick, otherwise it will be too long and the pine needles will be too long, which will greatly affect the aesthetic feeling of Pinus taiwanensis and the overall artistic effect of bonsai. Fertilization of Pinus taiwanensis is mainly based on decomposed organic fertilizer, such as decomposed cake fertilizer and decomposed manure, which is beneficial to improve the soil and the growth of Pinus taiwanensis. Of course, a small amount of chemical fertilizer can also be properly mixed, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be given priority as far as possible, because Pinus armandii has a certain ability to fix nitrogen fertilizer.

The specific fertilization time should be mainly in spring and autumn, with little or no fertilization in Xia Dong.

Fourth, pay attention to pruning leaves and branches.

After a period of maintenance, if the branches of Pinus armandii bonsai are too long or messy, they should be trimmed; Moreover, the leaves of Pinus taiwanensis are often longer, so the needles should be controlled after the bones of Pinus taiwanensis are formed. Note that it is reasonable to trim the needle control only when the branch is larger than18cm, and the needle control time can be selected from June to July.

When controlling needles, water can be properly controlled first, and the whole tree can be pruned first to keep a good shape. In order to promote germination, two or three buds can be left on the branches to promote germination. In order to make new buds grow quickly, you can often spray water. Of course, the frequency of watering is two or three times, and new buds will appear in about fifteen days. If there are too many new buds, the old leaves will be removed in time, and then the whole mountain pine bonsai will look pale.

If there are missing branches that really can't promote germination, consider grafting.
