How to make a bonsai of golden broom

Planting bonsai

prune

Before potting, carry out appropriate pruning according to the shape and shaping requirements of the tree stump, remove excess branches, adjust the shape, remove overlong old roots and torn roots, but remember to leave more lateral roots and fibrous roots. The cut ends of the roots and trunks should be smooth, and a layer of erythromycin ointment, vaseline, burn ointment, etc. can be applied on the wound to prevent it from rotting.

Basin

To avoid root rot, avoid soaking the plants in water before planting. First plant it in a clay pot or underground to "grow the seedlings". The potting soil should be clean, fine sand mixed with some coal ash for planting. A layer of coal ash can also be placed on the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage.

The shape of the broom bonsai

The shape of the golden finch bonsai varies according to the stake, and it is suitable for making different forms of bonsai such as one trunk and multiple trunks, jungle style, cliff style, stone style, straight trunk style, double trunk style, curved trunk style, and wind-driven style.

Generally, the method adopted is a combination of pruning and winding, supplemented by pulling. The roots of the golden sparrow are well-developed, twisted and colorful, and are also ornamental. The roots can be lifted out of the soil as needed. In addition, the crown of the tree can be processed into a cloud-like shape with clear layers, or it can be made into a natural style to appear elegant and graceful. In short, the overall shape of the bonsai should be harmonious and unified.

Bonsai Maintenance

The environmental temperature required by the newly planted golden sparrow should be lower. Try to let it grow roots first and then sprout to avoid false growth. In the cold winter, you need to do a good job of insulation, place the tree stump indoors, cover it with plastic film, but use wire to build a frame inside to avoid direct contact between the plastic film and the tree stump. You can also cover the flower pot with a black plastic bag.
