With the acceleration of life's pace, more and more people are beginning to pursue a simple, natural lifestyle. Placing a pot of bonsai at home can not only beautify the living environment but also cultivate one's temperament. Let's explore a unique method of making bonsai—using large bottles, which can save space and allow you to create your own green corner under limited conditions.
Advantages of making盆景 with large bottles1. High space utilization
Large bottles usually have a higher volume, which can accommodate more plants and soil, making them suitable for creating large-scale bonsai. The size of the large bottle is substantial and does not take up too much space, making it suitable for placement in limited spaces.
2. Low production cost
Compared to traditional bonsai, making bonsai with large bottles has a lower material cost. You only need to purchase a suitable large bottle, an appropriate amount of plants, and soil to easily create a beautiful bonsai.
3. Unlimited creativity
Large bottles come in various shapes and colors, which can be matched according to personal preferences and home decor style. During the creation process, you can unleash your creativity by combining large bottles with other decorations to create a unique bonsai.
Steps for making盆景 with large bottles1. Choose a suitable large bottle
Choose a bottle with the right shape and size. The diameter of the bottle opening should be slightly larger than the diameter of the plant roots to facilitate growth.
2. Prepare plants and soil
Choose plants that are suitable for growing in bottles based on personal preferences, such as ornamental foliage plants, succulents, etc. Prepare a sufficient amount of well-ventilated soil to aid plant growth.
3. Create the bonsai
(1) Clean the large bottle and remove any sharp edges around the bottle opening.
(2) Trim the plant roots neatly, removing withered and weak branches and leaves.
(3) Place a layer of permeable stones at the bottom of the bottle to increase air permeability.
(4) Put the trimmed plant into the bottle, fill with soil, and gently compact it.
