How to cultivate triangular maple
If you want to know how to cultivate bougainville-maple and the knowledge of maintaining and managing flowers of bougainville-maple, it is a very good experience and knowledge. It is recommended to collect it!
The triangular maple trees have wrinkled trunks and fine branches, especially the leaves are wonderfully shaped. The colors change with the seasons and are very attractive. They are scarlet in early spring, green in summer, colorful in autumn, and bare branches in winter. The impact from the perspective is like entering a painting and is beautiful.
Maple bougainvillea is highly adaptable to the environment and is widely used in bonsai making. With the increase in the number of people playing with triangular maples, it is difficult to find ancient piles growing in the wild. People with the conditions have begun to use seed sowing or cutting to cultivate triangular maples in their own open spaces. Starting from small seedlings is not only environmentally friendly, but also allows the cultivation of various types and shapes of bonsai because of their rapid growth and large plastic space.
Maple bougainvilleis fond of warm, humid climate and acidic and neutral soil. It is a warm-zone tree species. It likes light and is also tolerant of shade. It is more resistant to water and moisture, has strong germination, and is resistant to pruning. On the surface, triangular maple grows fast, is easy to maintain, and forms quickly. However, in actual cultivation,"fast growth" also reveals its drawbacks in some places. Cultivating an excellent bonsai of bougainville-maple takes at least 4 to 5 years to 10 years. The reason is precisely because bougainville-maple grows rapidly compared to other talents, and it takes more time to control the growth of the piles. and effort, therefore, cultivating bougainville-maple bonsai is not so much about careful maintenance, as about manual control. If you want to cultivate an excellent triangular maple bonsai, you must follow its characteristics, carefully take care of its maintenance, be diligent in coordination and control, broaden ideas in creation, and carefully carve out production.
1. Maintenance and management of triangular maple.
Acer like warm and humid climate and deep fertile, well-drained soil, the requirements of the soil is not strict. It is very important to set up an ideal site for the maintenance of Acer triangularis. The maintenance site should be selected in a place with relatively gentle terrain or relatively large humidity. Ventilation and sunlight should be good, but it should avoid the west sun. It is not recommended to cultivate triangle maple on the roof. It is not recommended to play triangle maple in the closed balcony. It can be planted in a slightly larger pot. The bottom drain opening will be enlarged. After planting, it will be placed directly in the sunny sand for maintenance. On the one hand, the humidity can avoid the dehydration of triangle maple in the dry basin under the roof environment; on the other hand, wet sand can induce "stealing roots" from the bottom of the basin to accelerate the growth of triangle maple. About the cultivation of bonsai on the roof, I published an article entitled "Maintenance and Management of Bonsai on the Roof" on the headline, introducing in detail the precautions and countermeasures for the maintenance of bonsai on the roof. Interested pot friends can find out about it.
The maintenance and management of bonsai are not limited to daily watering, fertilization, pest and disease prevention and control, etc., but are also very important for the early selection, trimming, and root cultivation of some bonsai materials.
1. Selection of materials in the cultivation of bougainvillea. The purpose of selecting materials is to cultivate materials in a directional manner for creating different types of bougainville-maple bonsai. For example, when selecting roots before planting, the characteristics of the roots of the annual seedlings are generally basically exposed. The seedlings with uniform roots and regular roots are cultivated as bonsai types such as big trees and jungles. For some partial roots and curved poles, they can be considered for cultivation of bonsai types such as cliff pots and waterside. In short, the diversity of types should be considered in selecting materials, applied according to materials, and cultivated according to types.
2. Trim in the cultivation of bougainvilleum. Early trimming is to speed up the stereotyped growth of bougainvilleum. Some branches that affect the stereotyped growth should be cut off in time, such as excessively thick side branches in big trees. Early cutting and cutting can reduce the scar surface, and can also correct the growth after stereotyped development as early as possible. The direction of deviation. The "hanging" method can also be used to control the shaping during the seedling stage. For example, the angle requirements of roots and poles in making cliff bonsai can be fixed by aluminum wire hanging during the seedling stage. It is not recommended to use aluminum wire to coil during seedling trimming. Because triangular maple grows fast, coil coil can easily trap the wire, which affects growth and damages the bud points.
3. Adjustment of roots in the cultivation of bougainvillea. There is no scenery without roots, and good roots establish the momentum of the tree. Describe the status and importance of roots in bonsai. The cultivation of triangular maple is first of all the cultivation of roots. It is very regrettable that a bonsai of triangular maple with good shape turns out to be irreparable root defects. The root growth of bougainvilleum is very prominent during the cultivation period. The two-year root period of the seedlings takes shape. It is necessary to adjust the root advance in a timely manner, especially for large-type bonsais that require high roots. From March to April, select the triangular maple trees that have been planted for more than two years, cut the roots appropriately, cut off the fork roots, and overlap the roots. After multiple planting, more roots can grow at the cutting point, or they can be used in the rootless place. Although the method is troublesome, it is worth it to leave no trouble for subsequent cultivation.
2. Cooperation and control in the cultivation of bougainvilleus maples will have more rain in spring, and bougainvilleus maples will enter a crazy period of time after hibernation in winter. The growth process of triangular maple requires a lot of water, but if there is too much rain or watering when the buds are just emerging in early spring, things will be reversed. Too much water will cause the branches of the primary buds to grow too long. Like butted white wax, triangular maples only sprout from branches. Too long branches are not conducive to future bonsai production and formation. Therefore, before spring germination, the amount of water in the ground or in the pot must be well controlled to coordinate maintenance and control. The relationship between ensuring the healthy growth of triangular maples and suppressing unfavorable factors arising from growth. After the temperature starts to warm up in early spring, water the bougainvilleum as little or no water as possible, and maintain appropriate humidity to produce strong buds and short-node buds. If spring buds appear and there are many rainy days in a row, you should do a good job in picking the buds of triangular maple. Picking the bud head is very effective in controlling the length of branch segments, and the operation is relatively simple. The key point is to use tweezers to pinch the bud head and ignore the original short-node buds, leaving only a pair of leaves. Let them germinate again, and the new growth will be suppressed, and the branches will be significantly shortened. Picking buds can also be carried out during the season, but this operation cannot be repeated blindly in the pursuit of short knots. Picking buds should be carried out according to the tree type, tree trend, and timing. Too much suppression is not conducive to the healthy growth of bougainvilleum.

3. pruning in the cultivation of bougainville-maple bonsai.
In the overall formation and cultivation of triangular maple bonsai, timely pruning of branches and stems is very important. Cutting early increases the cultivation time. If the branches and stems exceed the ideal thickness, the branches and stems have to be slimmed down. Sometimes the branches are too thick and completely cut off and re-stored. Under what circumstances is best to cut. Personally, I believe that the timing of cutting bougainvilleus should vary depending on the type of cultivation. For example, it is better to prune the jungle basin sooner than later, because if the branches of the jungle exceed the thickness, the whole will become discordant and there will be no more room for compensation. The only way is to cut the main pole short and replant it. For some branches that grow slowly and require a lot of time to cultivate, such as large floating branches in large trees, branches and poles on cliffs and water, you can prune them as late as possible to allow them to have sufficient time to grow. The pruning during the cultivation of bougainvilleus should also consider the impact of different environments and different seasons on post-pruning. During the long-term pruning, pruning should be done as early as possible, and pruning should be done once. During this period, the branches will quickly germinate new branches, and will drive the large branches to grow together and continue to increase thickness. Therefore, pruning should consider subsequent growth factors, and should be done sooner rather than later. Generally, when the branches reach 2/3 of the ideal thickness, they must be cut off. When the bougainville-maple enters the slow or stop growth period, try to minimize pruning of large branches, especially the main stems and branches that are difficult to maintain.
Whether pruned or not is the result of considering comprehensive factors in the cultivation of bougainvillea. During the cultivation of bougainville-maple, there must be a design or expectation for the formation of bonsai, including the type and size of the bonsai, the trend and thickness of the branches, etc. During the cultivation process, we must be aware of it, coordinate the cultivation and control, and try not to go back. For example, in cultivating a large-type bougainville-maple bonsai, when the foundation part of the main pole reaches the ideal thickness, select the transition position to cut off the upper part, and after cutting, enter the upper part of the main pole for transitional cultivation. In this process, as many lateral branches should be left as possible, most of which are used as Sacrificial branches, when the transition thickness of the main pole is basically reached, they will be cut off, and stored and cut back and forth until the main pole cultivation is completed. During this process, lateral branches should be left as designed. The growth of lateral branches should be controlled while growing synchronously with the main stem. If the thickness increases too fast, they should be pruned in time.
The key to pruning bougainville-maple bonsai is one's mastery of the coordination and control in cultivating bougainville-maple. In cultivating, one must be diligent and accumulate experience in practical operations. Therefore, in a sense, bougainville-maple is a "diligent" person playing bonsai."Don't get close to lazy people.
4. The creation types and production methods of triangular maple bonsai.
Due to its advantages such as fast growth, strong healing ability and developed root systems, triangular maple is widely used in bonsai creation. Ancient and strange piles dug in the mountains are often made into big trees because of their strong tree mounds and beautiful tree shapes. Their shapes are natural and mottled and ancient, giving people a very far-reaching artistic conception. However, the digging in the mountains is limited by resources and environmental protection., it has not adapted to the long-term development direction of bonsai. Starting from playing with triangular maple seedlings has provided me with a broad space to broaden my ideas for bonsai creation.
There are many types of bonsai creation. This article only briefly introduces several types of bonsai common in seedling cultivation.
1. Making of triangular maple jungle bonsai. Choose to plant bougainvilleus seedlings together according to the layout of the jungle. You can use 3 to 5 trees in a cluster to cultivate them. During the cultivation, the size, thickness, etc. of the trees can be controlled centrally. After the basic formation, you can directly take the whole tree into the pot, and then follow the design. Good purchase price layout of the jungle type. The advantage of this is that the bougainville-maple seedlings can be closer to the natural form during their growth. Trees follow the rules of the jungle."Dense" means that the trees are interdependent, and "sparse" means that the roots are connected. The trees set off each other and cooperate tacitly. In addition, the root plate of a single tree is independent and complete, making it more natural on the whole. Its aesthetic feeling is difficult to achieve by combining a single tree after it is formed. In addition, you can tie the triangular maple seedlings together and shape them. Within half a year, the roots of the triangular maple trees will grow together and become a whole. After several years of careful cultivation, a pot of multi-pole triangular maple bonsai will be presented in front of you.
2. Making the roots of triangular maple. The root system of bougainvilleum is very developed. The most prominent manifestation is that the main root is thick and straight downward, and the lateral roots are distributed horizontally and long around. The roots for more than 2 years are basically lignified and become relatively hard. Therefore, piles dug in the mountains and rivers are common. Eight square roots are used for the big tree type, and the root lifting type is rare. The best way to cultivate root-lifting bonsai using maple seedlings is to cultivate root-lifting bonsai. There are many methods for cultivating and lifting roots. The most common one is using pvc water pipes for cultivation. The specific cultivation method is to plant seedlings from 1 to 2 years old in the water pipes. Before planting, the north pipe is broken open, and after closing it, it is fixed with iron wires. It is convenient to adjust the roots in the future. The length of the water pipes depends on the height of the bonsai needed to lift roots. Before planting, the water pipe is filled with mixed saprotic soil, and the seedlings are planted into it. After planting, enough water is poured. When watering, hold the seedlings with your hand and replenish the soil that falls with the water. The water pipes for planting bougainvilleum can be buried 10 - 15 centimeters in the ground or in flower pots. This method is simple to cultivate and produces roots quickly. The disadvantage is that the roots grow too stiff in the tubes and lack natural beauty. Generally, the roots of seedlings planted in spring will have basically been implanted in the ground or in flower pots by October of that year. At this time, the roots are still relatively soft. The water pipes can be removed and the roots can be adjusted for the first time to make the roots flexible and curved, natural and beautiful. 2 One to three years later, the roots grew thick and shaped, and the water pipes were completely removed, but the soil could not be removed immediately. If you do it too quickly, too many capillary roots would be exposed and cause damage to the tree stump. The roots should have a process of gradually adapting to the external environment, and it is best to let them fall off naturally during rain or watering washing. After the root system is completely exposed, the roots should be trimmed to remove excess or necrotic roots, and the roots should be adjusted again according to the trend of the root stem and top. Using water pipes to cultivate bougainvilleum and root lifting is simple and effective, but cultivating a pot of bougainvilleum with root lifting into a good pot of root-lifting bonsai takes time to hone.
Most of the root lifting types are to replace the pole with the root. The root replacing pole requires transition and smooth posture changes. The top and bottom root poles need to be constantly trimmed and adjusted to achieve the unity of the top and root poles, and the tree is elegant and elegant.
3. Making the attached stone of triangular maple. Tigen bonsai has similarities and differences with the auxiliary stone bonsai. The auxiliary stone bonsai is mainly shaped by trees and enjoys strange stones, reflecting the beauty of combining hardness and softness, and the beauty of the perfect combination of movement and stillness. Root lifting mainly reflects the beauty of power and agility of roots. The main feature of the bonsai attached to the stone is the close combination of the tree and the stone, which is seamless and complements each other. Maple bougainvilles has the characteristics of strong healing ability, so using maple bougainvilles in the shape of stone attached bonsai has obvious advantages. The modeling of triangular maple attached to stone is extremely ideal starting from the seedling stage, because triangular maple is relatively soft during the seedling stage. First, it can complete the trend of combining the tree and stone as expected; second, it completely simulates the stone attachment process in the natural state, leaving few artificial traces; Third, the growth process is conducive to the control of local modeling. The actual stone-forming operation of the triangular maple can be carried out from April to July every year, because this stage is the time when the sap of the triangular maple flows fastest and the healing ability is strongest, and the success rate of the stone-attaching is relatively high. During the operation, bind the bougainville-maple to the selected stone according to the idea of attaching the stone. The binding material is best to choose hemp rope that will not damage the bark and can naturally fall off when the tree grows. Choose a semi-shaded location for planting. At the beginning of planting, it is necessary to properly cover the shade. When the bougainville-maple appears to grow significantly, normal watering and fertilization management can be carried out. In the early stage, the management of bougainville-attached-stone bonsai was mainly to make the tree thicker and closely integrate the tree and the stone. More sacrificial branches could be left during cultivation. Some branches that were key shapes must be carefully controlled to leave room for future shapes.
Compared with other bonsai attached to stone, the triangular maple bonsai has a more perfect combination of trees and stones and is more natural, especially against the backdrop of the strange stones, the colorful color temptation of the leaves.
The above-mentioned introduction of how to cultivate triangular maple and the methods for maintaining and managing triangular maple are used as a reference suggestion.
