Penjing art has a long history in our country, and Podocarpus macrophyllus, as one of the important materials for Penjing making, is deeply loved by a large number of Penjing enthusiasts. How many years does it take to make a beautiful Penjing from Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings? This article will give you a detailed analysis of the cycle of making Penjing with Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings.
Growth cycle of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlingsThe growth cycle of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings can be roughly divided into the following stages:
1. Seed germination period: The germination time of Podocarpus macrophyllus seeds is about 20-30 days, with the appropriate germination temperature controlled between 15-25℃.
2. Seedling growth period: The growth rate of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings is relatively fast, usually requiring 1-2 years, during which sufficient light and water should be ensured.
3. Middle growth period: After entering the middle growth period, Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings need to go through 3-5 years. This stage is the key period for the growth of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings, and attention should be paid to pruning, fertilization and other maintenance measures.
4. Growth period: Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings entering the growth period require 5-10 years. At this stage, the tree shape of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings gradually stabilizes, laying the foundation for making Penjing.
The cycle of making Penjing with Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings1. Selecting seedlings: When Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings enter the middle growth period (3-5 years), seedlings with beautiful shapes and healthy growth can be selected for making Penjing.
2. Shaping: The selected Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings should be pruned and trained for shaping, which usually takes 1-2 years.
3. Maintenance: During the shaping process, attention should be paid to the maintenance of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings, including watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc., to ensure their healthy growth.
4. Completion: After 1-2 years of maintenance, Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings gradually form unique tree shapes, at which time they can be made into Penjing. From selecting seedlings to completion, the whole process takes about 5-7 years.
Factors affecting the cycle of making Penjing with Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings1. Regional climate: The climatic conditions in different regions have a significant impact on the growth cycle of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings. Generally, the growth cycle is shorter in the south and longer in the north.
2. Maintenance management: Reasonable maintenance management measures can shorten the cycle of making Penjing with Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings and improve the Penjing effect.
3. Personal skills: The skill level of making Penjing also affects the production cycle. Skilled Penjing artists can make beautiful Penjing out of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings more quickly.
The cycle of making Penjing with Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings is about 5-7 years, with the specific time affected by regional climate, maintenance management, personal skills and other factors. Understanding the growth cycle of Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings and the cycle of making Penjing helps Penjing enthusiasts to better cultivate and make Podocarpus macrophyllus seedlings. During the production process, attention should be paid to maintenance management and improvement of skill level to create unique Podocarpus macrophyllus Penjing.
