Author | Chen Wenzhao Wang Weijun Hao Jianyu Huang Wei

The shape of the tree bonsai has different forms such as straight drying, dry -drying and cliff -type. During the shape process, it is necessary to apply due to time, according to the aptitude, and multiple techniques. emotion. The cliff trees in nature are more common and spectacular. The trunk is straight down. In view of the characteristics of cliff trees, it is necessary to reasonably be applied and applied in the process of creative.

Phase observation

Luo Han Song Bonsai has been purchased from the market for more than a year. After observation, it is found that the piles have the following characteristics: the trunk bending extends forward, lacks layers, the trunk base is upright, the middle part of the trunk lacks branches and shows a vacancy. The overall canopy can be There are many upper side branches, the main lines are rigid and lacking, and they need to be changed to a large extent. Initially changed to ideas: remove large branches and side branches closer to the base, make full use of the side branches near the top part, and bend the main direction of the main direction, and then create a cliff -style bonsai work.

Dry

In order to prevent the main trunk from being broken during the bending process, the trunk needed to be cut with a longitudinal cutting part at the main part of the main trunk, so that the middle part of the trunk was broken vertically, and the wound was tightly tightened with a tape or plastic cloth.

Sparse branches and tie the main trunks

After determining the direction of the trunk, according to the requirements of the styling, all the excess branches of the lower part of the main trunk are removed, so that the lower main trunk is clear and clear, and only the side branches that need to be tied on both sides of the trunk. Then use the thick aluminum wire to wrap in the direction of the 45 ° angle with the main trunk, and then gradually bend it. If you take a bend, work hard and not overwhelmed. If an aluminum wire does not reach the ideal effect, you can add another one until the best position is reached.

Pelvic

Due to the height of the original planting pot, the height of the cliff -like potting body is not enough. Take Luo Han Song out of the original basin, gently hook the soil of the original tree with a small hook, cut off the long root system and part of the dry roots, injured roots, remove part of the soil and organize the root system. The direction of the good trend is planted. Fill in the fertile and loose pine needles in the newly replaced pot. While filling the soil, use a wooden stick to insert the pot soil, so that the pot soil is closely exposed to the root system. There is no loophole.

Overall

The sequence of the tie must be the first trunk, then the main branches, and then the side branches; The tie requires the thickness of the aluminum wire with the branches. The angle is appropriate, the tie is in place, and the branches are avoided. After the work is completed, macro adjustment and pruning the branches of various parts from the bottom up, after multiple angle observations, all aspects of consideration, continuously make meticulous adjustment, trimming, after adjustment -observation -re -observation, etc. The branches have reached the ideal position.

Complete shape

After the preliminary cliff -like Luohan pine bonsai, the trunk song changes naturally, with a lively and orderly branches. However, due to the small overall branches, the preliminary creation only arranges the layout of its overall branches. After several years of continuous cultivation and shape, the best viewing effect can be achieved.
