How to cultivate雀舌黄杨 to make it grow faster
Today, let's introduce how to cultivate雀舌黄杨 to make it grow faster and some knowledge about the cultivation and management of green plants and flowers related to雀舌黄杨. Let's learn about it together.
For bonsai enthusiasts, making bonsai by hand is much more interesting than just appreciating it. Among新手 friends, 雀舌黄杨 is definitely one of the favorite bonsai plants. The small 黄杨 seedlings bought from the market are not expensive and are good materials for making bonsai by hand. 黄杨 has the characteristics of slow growth, not easy to deform, and strong vitality, which is most suitable for beginners. But before you start, you should cultivate it well first. Here, let's talk about the cultivation, maintenance, and techniques for making 雀舌黄杨, as well as some precautions.
Watering skills
雀舌黄杨 requires a relatively high demand for water, keeping the potting soil moist is beneficial for its growth. When watering 雀舌黄杨, factors such as uncontrollable areas, climate, environment, and size need to be controlled by yourself. I will analyze the watering skills of 雀舌黄杨 from the perspective of temperature.
1. During the growing seasons of spring and autumn, it is necessary to meet the water requirements of 雀舌黄杨, as mentioned before, keeping the potting soil moist. In dry and rainless periods, you also need to use a spray to water the branches and leaves and the surrounding environment to maintain a certain humidity.
2. In the high-temperature season of summer, if the potting soil is moist and not short of water, you still need to use a spray to water the branches and leaves and the surrounding environment to keep them moist. It is best to also use a spray method when watering 雀舌黄杨.
3. In late autumn and winter, the temperature does not drop rapidly. Specifically, the temperature is around 10°C, and if the potting soil is not short of water, you can use the spray method to properly water 雀舌黄杨 to keep it moist.
4. Precautions: After White Dew, attention should be paid to the watering time, and watering should be done after the dew has dried. After Frost's Descent, watering in the morning and evening is not allowed. Especially in winter with cold waves, you must not water to prevent the potting soil from freezing, and possibly the branches and leaves from freezing.
Fertilization skills
When 雀舌黄杨 is growing and developing, nutrients are also very important. Appropriate fertilizer supplementation will speed up its growth. For fertilizer selection, it is recommended to use organic fertilizers or commercial fertilizers. But always remember the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently, as excessive fertilization will only be harmful.
1. Now most people live in urban concrete buildings with limited living space, so it is not recommended to compost at home, as it may affect neighbors. If you still want to prepare organic fertilizers, you can use fruit peels, chop them into small pieces, put them in mineral water bottles, and ferment them with water. They can be matured and used after 2-3 months, remember to dilute them with water before use.
2. If you have a small courtyard or terrace, you can consider making organic fertilizers.厨余垃圾 like bones, internal organs, moldy food, eggshells, and vegetable leaves can all be layered with soil and kitchen waste, sprinkled with some water, and sealed for fermentation, which can be a good organic fertilizer.
3. Precautions: Fertilizing should be based on actual conditions combined with seasonal changes. Do not fertilize when there is no lack of fertilizer, or do not fertilize when the growth is poor and there is a lack of nutrients just to adhere to a certain principle. For example, you can apply some fertilizer when the buds sprout during the Spring Festival, before entering summer to make the leaves grow, after each pruning, and after the rainy season when the nutrients in the potting soil of outdoor-bred bonsai are washed away by rain, etc.

Shaping techniques
The wood of 雀舌黄杨 is slightly hard, and the bark of the branches is relatively thin, which is a difficulty in winding. If you are not careful or make a big movement, it is easy to cause the branches to break or the bark to be damaged. Therefore, do not rush when winding, otherwise, it will be counterproductive. The shaping of 雀舌黄杨 is best done by pruning first and winding second.
1. As mentioned earlier, 雀舌黄杨 has a strong germination ability, so we need to prune frequently to maintain the tree shape and ensure that the branches have sufficient nutrient supply. Nowadays, a tree shape made by utilizing the germination ability of 黄杨 is popular. First, cut some main branches to cultivate the branches around the cross-section, and then shape the 黄杨 into a cloud-like or steamed bun shape through pruning and simple winding.
2. Normally prune the branches and appropriately wind some shaping branches. After the basic shape is formed, you can shape it into a cliff, near water, slanted pole, etc., according to the original determined shape. You can also combine it with other auxiliary materials, such as stones to make stone-attached bonsai, or use 黄杨 seedlings to make miniature bonsai.
3. Precautions: Because the wood of 黄杨 is hard and brittle, and the bark is thin, it may break or peel if you move too much during winding. It is best to use coated aluminum wire for winding and never use iron wire. If you only have iron wire, you need to wrap the branches to be wound with cotton cloth or something for protection.
Maintenance skills
Everyone knows that 雀舌黄杨 grows relatively slowly. relatively speaking, the main trunk grows slowly, and the newly sprouted branches grow quickly before they become lignified. If left unattended, it can cause disharmony in proportions. Pruning is one method, and we can also control the growth of branches by pinching the tips.
1. Pinching the tips of branches needs to be done before they become lignified, leaving one or two pairs of leaves on the branches and pinching off the rest. When new branches sprout, repeat this method to make the branches shorter and thicker, coordinating with the main trunk. If the branches have already lignified, they need to be pruned.
2. Directly remove the flower buds before 雀舌黄杨 blooms. 雀舌黄杨 blooms in spring, which will consume 80% of its nutrients, directly affecting its growth. Since it is a bonsai for viewing shapes and leaves, it is better to remove the flowers directly.
3. Precautions: 雀舌黄杨 has a strong vitality and germination ability. Generally, after the first pinching, the second pinching should be done about half a month later. This step-by-step method can help cultivate the branches well. Never pinch or prune too much at once, as this will only lead to a weakened tree.
The above comprehensive explanation of how to cultivate 雀舌黄杨 to make it grow faster and the cultivation and management of 雀舌黄杨 is hoped to help you.
