What measures need to be taken to raise golden marbles well?

Golden marbles grow in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Sichuan, Chongqing, Huguang and other areas. Juanzi is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Laoya Shi, which is similar to golden marbles, can often be encountered, but it just likes golden marbles. In March and April, golden marbles bloom one after another. They are blue and white in color and look like a vase, so they are also called vase orchids. The small flowers hang among the tender green branches and leaves, exuding the fragrance of orchids. After about half a month of flowering, the fruit begins to bear. Fruits come in various shapes, with round ones being the most common. In addition, there are also oval, cone-shaped, gourd-shaped, etc. The fruits also come in a variety of colors. They start out green and turn into golden yellow, orange when mature in November. Red, bright red, etc. form a sharp contrast with the green leaves and golden poles, greatly increasing the ornamental value. Golden marble bonsai is becoming more and more popular among bonsai enthusiasts because of its beautiful leaves and fragrant flowers, red fruits and curved branches, and long dry life.

Shopping

Especially in areas like ours where golden marbles are not produced, in addition to buying some seedlings introduced in previous years, if you want to get golden marbles, go to It is obviously not practical to buy it from the place of origin, that is, to buy it through the market. Although the golden marble piles are easier to take root and have a high survival rate, when buying the piles, one must be fresh and whether there is a root system.

Be sure to scrape off a small amount of the skin of the raw pile you get to see if it is fresh. Generally speaking, if your nails can easily scrape off the epidermis, it should be fresh. However, it is important to note that you may encounter water-induced piles, especially those from relatively far away. They may appear to be full of juice, but in fact the endothelial layer has been dehydrated and dried to death. It is best to have piles with fibrous roots. Although golden marbles are easy to take root, some golden marble piles are cut too much and look like a piece of tree. It is best not to accept this kind of material as it is more difficult to maintain.

Cultivation

The purchased golden marble piles basically have no root system. How to plant them to increase the survival rate? First, we prepare the rooting water solution, soak it for a few hours, and after drying, apply a healing agent to the wound. Then the selected matrix soil must have good air permeability. You can use perlite, gravel and other granular matrix to plant the golden marbles into it. Use high soil cultivation method or deep burial. The exposed trunk part must be well moisturized. Putting it in a ventilated and well-lit place for maintenance can speed up survival.

However, it should be noted that there is a phenomenon of fake gold marbles, and we need to make a good identification and emergency measures. It is also very simple to judge whether the golden marble is fake. It was found that the golden marbles germinate quickly, but the buds grow very slowly and gradually return to buds. This must be a fake life. The germination is very slow, but the sprouts grow quickly. The longer they grow, the more vigorous they are, which means they are really alive. If we want to avoid the false activity of golden marbles, the key is the timing of planting. Temperature is the key. Planting cannot be carried out when the temperature is too high.

Management

Golden marbles have strong vitality and adaptability. They do not choose the region or the soil. They are also drought and high temperature tolerant, shade and cold tolerant, and have strong germination power. What's not to like about it? After the golden marbles survive, they can be maintained outdoors. All year round, they need to be moved indoors for maintenance only during the high temperatures in summer and cold weather in winter. At other times, they can grow naturally outdoors in the open air. Golden marbles like fertilizer and water, so they need to be watered frequently during the growth period, but be careful not to accumulate water. Apply a thin layer of organic fertilizer every 10 days or so. During the flowering and fruit-bearing periods, attention should be paid to appropriately adding some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, as well as urea in the later period, to increase the smoothness of the fruits.

Golden marbles have strong germination ability. During the growth period, in addition to the reserved modeling branches, excess sprouting twigs must be wiped off in time to prevent damage to the tree shape and competition with the modeling branches for nutrients. The best time to reshape golden marbles is in March, to remove residual fruits and prune messy branches that affect the shape of the tree, and to facilitate the germination of new branches. After the golden marbles are potted, it is best to repot them once every two years or so. This can promote the growth of new roots. The pot soil should not be too much. It should be rich in humus, loose and fertile, and slightly acidic soil with good air permeability and drainage is preferred. You can also Place fermented organic fertilizer on the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer.

Shape

The shape of golden marbles is generally created by pulling, hanging crutches, tying and pruning. The style is basically made according to the existing shape of the pile material. The most common ones are cliff type, waterfront type, diagonal pole type, etc. However, there are also many people who use the method of cutting stems and storing branches to make golden marbles. It has strong germination ability and is easy to produce adventitious buds. The new branches grow quickly, and good styling effects can be achieved in a few years.

It is relatively rare to cut the stems and branches of golden marbles. Let’s talk about them in detail here. After you are ready to let the golden marbles cut stems and grow branches to create the shape, you need to first set a basic frame for the tree shape, and then cut off all the branches outside the frame to concentrate nutrients on the branches within the frame. The branches grow wildly, so that the branches can reach a satisfactory degree of thickness, and they are ready for cutting and stocking. The method of cutting and stocking makes it easier to create beautiful shapes.

If you want golden marbles to grow vigorously and take shape as soon as possible, daily maintenance and management is the key. You must do two things, one is to prune less, and the other is to nourish the roots more, so as to maintain vigorous growth. After growing, within a few years, you can grow a unique bonsai work.
