Choose suitable bonsai plants, choose pots, pay attention to soil selection, reasonable watering, timely pruning, fertilization, pest control, bonsai As a kind of traditional art in our country, it not only beautifies the environment, but also reflects the owner's love for life and aesthetic taste. During the production and maintenance process, the growth status of the roots is crucial. This article will introduce in detail how to make the bonsai roots grow thicker and help your bonsai become healthier and more beautiful. To choose suitable bonsai plants, you must choose plants suitable for growing in pots, such as pine, bamboo, plum, orchid, etc. These plants have strong drought, cold, pruning resistance, etc., and are easy to maintain. Choose well-developed root systems and grow seedlings as bonsai materials. Reasonable selection of pots and pots has an important impact on the length and thickness of bonsai roots. Pots with good air permeability and good drainage performance should be selected, such as purple sand pots, ceramic pots, etc., and the use of airtight pots such as plastic pots and iron pots should be avoided to avoid poor growth of roots due to lack of oxygen. Pay attention to soil selection. Soil is the basis for the growth and thickness of bonsai roots. Soil that is loose, breathable and has good drainage properties should be selected, such as peat soil, leaf soil, perlite, etc., and appropriate amount of bone meal, calcium superphosphate and other fertilizers should be added to provide sufficient nutrition for the roots. Reasonable watering is a key link in bonsai maintenance. Watering must follow the principle of "seeing wet when it is dry" and keep the soil moist but not wet. In the high temperature season in summer, the number of watering should be increased; in the low temperature season in winter, the number of watering should be reduced. When watering, pay attention to avoid water directly washing the roots to avoid causing damage to the roots. Timely pruning is an important means to adjust the shape of a bonsai and promote the growth of roots. Timely pruning can remove sick and weak branches and excessively dense branches, making the plant grow more vigorously. When pruning, the principle of "better cutting than letting go" must be followed and enough leaves and branches provide nutrients to the roots. Fertilization and fertilization are important measures to promote the growth and thickness of bonsai roots. Fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should be applied in a timely manner according to the growth stage of the plant and soil fertility. During the period of vigorous growth, nitrogen fertilizer can be appropriately increased to promote the growth of branches and leaves; in the later period of growth, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be increased to promote root growth. Prevention and control of pests and diseases is an important factor affecting the growth of bonsai. Bonsai must be inspected regularly and timely measures should be taken when pests and diseases are discovered. Safe and environmentally friendly control methods such as biopesticides and plant-derived pesticides can be used to avoid the use of highly toxic and high-residue chemical pesticides.
Through the above seven aspects of maintenance, bonsai roots can be effectively promoted to grow and thicker. In actual operation, maintenance measures need to be flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics of specific plants and growth environment. Only by careful care can your bonsai be more beautiful and healthy.
