Excuse me, flower friend, can gardenia be used as a bonsai?

Bonsai concentrates the beauty of nature in a flowerpot, which is beautiful and beautiful. There are also many bonsai materials in life, such as mountain pine and golden marbles.

Among these beautiful bonsai materials, Gardenia is a precious material. It has vigorous branches and leaves, and the best thing is that it can produce elegant and fragrant flowers, so it is reasonable to be loved by people.

However, although the gardenia bonsai is beautiful, the maintenance of this bonsai is not so easy, which requires too much skill and energy from the maintainer. Let's talk about what we should pay attention to when digging gardenias for maintenance, hoping to help everyone.

First, what should I pay attention to in the mining and cultivation of Gardenia?

1, mining

Compared with common gardenia, gardenia has stronger adaptability and is relatively easy to maintain. In addition, gardenia has strong branches and developed roots, which is a favorable condition for making it into a bonsai.

Gardenia bonsai is made by digging wild piles. After all, the ingenuity of nature will give gardenias a more beautiful shape, and the season of picking gardenias is mostly in mild spring. At this time, Gardenia has stored a lot of nutrients, and its ability to take root and sprout is also relatively strong. The survival rate of digging is the highest at this time.

Pay attention to keep the integrity of the original soil during excavation. If you grow in a crevice and can't bring more original soil, you should bring as many roots as possible, especially velvet roots and lateral roots. At the same time, pay attention to cut off too many branches that have nothing to do with modeling to reduce nutrient consumption. After digging and pruning, it is best to treat the wound and apply wound healing agent.

2. Cultivation

Gardenia transportation should pay attention to moisturizing, and it is best to plant it in time. If the pile material is not fresh enough, it is suggested that you trim the rotten part of the root system in time.

Gardenia planting is the same as ordinary composting. It is best to plant gardenia first, which is beneficial to its survival and growth. Of course, you can also use big wooden cases. It is best to use wet river sand when planting, which is loose and breathable, has good drainage, is not easy to rot piles, and is also very beneficial to the rooting of Gardenia.

You can dip some rooting powder when cultivating. In order to speed up the pot, experienced friends will also build a small arch shed and put on plastic bags to keep warm and moisturize, which can speed up the germination. Remind me not to withdraw the bag in a hurry after germination. You can prick your eyes with plastic bags. The bigger your eyes, the better your adaptability. Relatively speaking, the survival rate of gardenia is very good, and it is still a good variety among all piles.

Second, what should I pay attention to in gardenia conservation?

1, maintenance should pay attention to reasonable lighting.

There are many bonsai materials, and the demand for light is different. If gardenia likes a slightly cooler environment, if it uses Pinus armandii, pomegranate and Vitex negundo, it will be more fond of light. Therefore, to maintain these bonsai, we should give light flexibly according to the degree that they like light.

In summer, gardenia can see astigmatism and weak light in the morning and evening, and can cover strong light at noon to avoid burning leaves and affecting the growth of gardenia. In other mild seasons, you can see the light all day. It is emphasized that seeing more light before flowering can make the leaves flourish, the flower buds differentiate smoothly and the flowers bloom more brightly and fragrant. Seeing the light in winter is also more important. Better light in winter will enhance its nutrient accumulation and enhance its cold resistance.

2. Rational fertilization.

If any plant wants to thrive, reasonable fertilization and watering are essential, so fertilization becomes more important. As mentioned earlier, because there is little soil in the pot and the nutrients in it are limited, it is necessary to apply more fertilizer thinly, so that the plants will be strong and the bonsai will achieve a short and strong effect. Some friends are afraid that the leaves of bonsai will become bigger, so it is actually wrong to control water and fertilizer. Originally, there was less soil in the basin, so it would be more difficult for bonsai to grow. If water and fertilizer are controlled again, it will be difficult.

If you are afraid of vigorous growth, or the leaves are too big, which will affect the aesthetic feeling, I suggest you spray some drugs to help keep fit, or foliar fertilizer to make the leaves thick, small and lush, which can better control the growth and make the leaves small and beautiful.

In spring, some decomposed organic fertilizers and some compound fertilizers can be used for fertilization, which can promote the growth of gardenia, and the phosphorus and potassium in them can also meet the needs of gardenia flowering.

3. The harder the water, the better. Pay attention to the air humidity.

Gardenia likes humid environment a little, so it should be watered more at ordinary times. The principle is to keep the soil slightly wet and never store water, so as not to cause water stains and damage the roots of gardenia.

Furthermore, most of these bonsai have little soil, and their roots are mostly exposed, so the effect of hanging roots and exposing claws is actually unfavorable to the roots and will affect the ability to absorb water and fertilizer. In severe cases, it may also cause gardenia branches to fall off. If you don't look at it for the time being, you can cover some river sand or some water moss on the hanging roots to avoid large-scale evaporation and damage to the roots. When watching, wash the river sand and remove the water moss, which will be harmful to the branches.

Furthermore, gardenia likes a slightly wet environment, so attention should be paid to spraying water on gardenia or spraying it in the air during normal maintenance. Higher air humidity will make Gardenia leaves flourish, grow sturdily, and bloom big and moist.

4. Pay attention to trimming and styling.

If bonsai wants to be beautiful, it can't be separated from the winding shape, and when bonsai is trimmed, it depends on the diameter of the trunk. If the diameter is one or two centimeters, it can be directly wound, and the technique should be gentle, so as not to repeat it back and forth, so as to avoid attaching the number of branches. Moreover, when winding bonsai, attention should be paid to tying cloth strips first, and then winding metal wires to avoid damaging branches.

Generally, thicker branches are not tied directly, but are tied by pulling or piercing the branches. I hope you can ask the veteran for these skills. Do more and you will have experience.

Of course, bonsai can't be separated from pruning, and useless branches can be trimmed by binding. In addition, pruning should cut off diseased branches to reduce nutrient consumption, which can make bonsai more beautiful.

Third, summary.

Gardenia bonsai should be preserved, and more attention should be paid to open-air conservation. Generally speaking, bonsai likes the natural environment, so the cultivated bonsai is more resistant and more vigorous. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to keep it indoors for a long time, otherwise it will soon turn yellow and lose its state.

Of course, there are many bonsai materials, some of which are mainly flowers and some are mainly appreciation. If gardenia is dominated by flowers, special attention should be paid to promoting flower bud differentiation during flower bud differentiation. In addition to normal illumination, attention should be paid to pruning and picking up the heart, and at the same time spraying drugs to make its branches strong as soon as possible. Gardenia likes acid, and some ferrous sulfate can be used appropriately, which is very beneficial to flowering and plant health.
