Penjing, as a traditional art form in our country, not only reflects the aesthetic taste of our people but also carries rich cultural connotations. In the process of penjing maintenance, many enthusiasts often encounter a problem: whether the flourishing flowers in penjing will affect the growth of trees? This article will focus on this issue and provide a detailed explanation from a scientific perspective.
The impact of flourishing flowers on trees in penjing1. Impact of light
The flourishing flowers in penjing mean that the light under the tree canopy will be reduced. Long-term insufficient light can cause the leaves of trees to turn yellow and grow slowly, and in severe cases, it can even lead to the death of trees. During maintenance, the position of trees and flowers should be adjusted appropriately to ensure that trees can receive sufficient light.
2. Impact of water
Flourishing flowers have a high demand for water. If watering is not timely, it may lead to the trees lacking water and affect their growth. Excessive water can also cause soil waterlogging, making it difficult for roots to breathe, thus affecting the growth of trees. During watering, water should be distributed rationally, satisfying the needs of flowers while ensuring the normal growth of trees.
3. Impact of nutrition
Flourishing flowers absorb a large amount of nutrients. If the distribution of nutrients is not reasonable, it may lead to slow growth of trees or even malnutrition. During fertilization, fertilizers should be adjusted according to the needs of trees and flowers in terms of type and amount.
4. Impact of air circulation
Flourishing flowers can lead to poor air circulation inside the penjing. Prolonged poor air circulation can easily cause diseases and insect pests. During maintenance, flowers should be pruned appropriately to maintain air circulation inside the penjing.
How to balance the relationship between flowers and trees1. Appropriate pruning
Pruning is an important means to balance the relationship between flowers and trees. By pruning, the growth direction of trees and flowers can be adjusted to ensure that trees receive sufficient light and nutrients. Pruning can also reduce the probability of diseases and insect pests.
2. Rational fertilization
Fertilization should be carried out according to the needs of trees and flowers. During fertilization, suitable fertilizers should be selected and the amount of fertilizer should be controlled to avoid excessive fertilization that leads to poor tree growth.
3. Maintaining soil permeability
Soil permeability is crucial for the growth of trees. During maintenance, the soil should be loosened regularly to maintain soil permeability, which is beneficial for root respiration.
4. Paying attention to watering
Watering should be carried out based on the actual situation of the penjing. During watering, excessive or insufficient water should be avoided to prevent affecting the growth of trees.
The flourishing flowers in penjing have a certain impact on the growth of trees, but through reasonable maintenance measures, the relationship between flowers and trees can be balanced, maintaining a good growth state of the penjing. During maintenance, we should pay attention to the needs of trees and flowers and adjust maintenance measures reasonably to make the penjing radiate its unique artistic charm.
