How to raise white wax bonsai
Ash bonsai is popular among gardening enthusiasts for its vigorous and simple branches and exquisite shapes. As a semi-positive drought-tolerant tree species, the maintenance of white wax bonsai requires mastering the core principle of "coarse cultivation of thin tubes." This article will systematically analyze the six key maintenance points to help you create vibrant bonsai art. The basic maintenance system of white wax bonsai uses scientific soil and substrate management using garden soil mixed with coal slag and sand grains (ratio of 3:1:1) to ensure a balance between drainage and water retention. During the forming period, 1/3 of the core soil is reserved when soil is changed every 2 years, and humus soil is added to increase the organic matter content. Laying a ceramsite layer on the bottom of the basin can effectively prevent stagnant water and rotten roots. Four-dimensional control of light, warm water and fertilizer ensures 6 hours of direct light every day in spring and autumn, and uses sunshade nets to filter strong light from 10:00 to 15:00 in summer. Keep the basin soil slightly dry during the winter dormant period. During the growing season, the "see dry and see wet" method is used. Insert your fingers into the soil for 2 cm and water it thoroughly when it is dry. Supplement cake fertilizer water diluted 200 times every month and combine it with foliar spraying with potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Advanced skills for wax bonsai modeling and comprehensive pest control plan for yellowing disease. At the beginning of the disease, the roots were irrigated with 800 times ferrous sulfate solution and supplemented with ferric chelate leaf surface supplements. Flower thrips were found to be immediately isolated and used alternately with imidacloprid and matrine to control them. Regular spraying of mancozeb can prevent (T-J) disease. Artistic pruning and morphological shaping The main branch pruning retains 3-5 bud points, and the secondary branch retains 2-3 buds. Aluminum wire coiling should be carried out when the branches are semi-lignified, the winding angle is maintained at 45°, and the shape is adjusted every 2 months. Apply healing agent to the wound to prevent germs from invading.
Through systematic maintenance management and artistic design, white wax bonsai can demonstrate the essence of oriental aesthetics of "shrinking the ground into inches." It is recommended to adjust the maintenance details based on regional climate characteristics and regularly observe the condition of the plants, so that the beauty of nature can be passed down continuously in every inch.
