2. Shaping: Depending on personal preferences and the characteristics of the plant, you can adopt styles such as straight-trunk, slanting-trunk, and cliff-edge. During the shaping process, maintain the natural beauty of the plant.
Potting and maintenance1. Potting: Select a robust海棠 plant, remove it from its original pot, prune the roots, place the plant in the bonsai pot, add an appropriate amount of soil, and gently compact it.
2. Maintenance:
a. Watering:海棠 prefers a humid environment, keep the soil moist, and increase watering frequency during the hot summer.
b. Fertilizing: Apply a compound fertilizer once a month to promote plant growth.
c. Lighting:海棠 enjoys sunlight, so place it in a well-lit area for care.
d. Pest and disease control: Regularly inspect the plant and deal with pests and diseases promptly.
Creating a海棠盆景 requires patience and attention to detail. By following the above steps, you can create a beautiful green oasis in your home.海棠盆jing not only beautifies the home environment but also cultivates one's temperament, adding a touch of poetry to life.
