1. Selection of pots before pottingIf you want to make a good bonsai, you must choose the right pot before that. This depends on the shape you want to make. A good pot can better bring out the characteristics of bonsai. Generally, we often use purple clay pots and glazed ceramic pots. Such a basin not only looks brighter in color, but also makes the matching effect look more beautiful. In addition, the size of the pot is also very important. If the pot is too big, it will be very good for the growth of Vitex, but if it is used for viewing, the effect will be poor. On the contrary, it will grow slowly and be more ornamental. Therefore, this should be decided according to your own needs. See which type of pot is more suitable and choose flexibly. 2. How to ShapeGenerally, after cultivating it for three years, its shape skeleton is basically formed. In the spring of the fourth year, we can take the vitex out of the pot, then trim its branches and roots, and then replant it in a blue glazed pottery pot with a height of 8 cm and a diameter of 15 cm. You can wrap it and do appropriate pruning according to the shape you want. As long as the skeleton of the shape of the Vitex quinata is basically formed, it can be cultivated and processed. It can also be used for viewing. Basically, it will take another 3 years of cultivation to be fully formed. 3. NotesIn the pot where the tree is planted, its root system will be greatly hindered, so it is difficult for it to grow taller and thicker. Vitex bonsai is generally different from other trees. It usually needs to be plucking leaves many times. Although its germination ability is very strong, the leaves are too large, so the bonsai made is not very good-looking. Then we can pick the leaves 3 to 4 times from early May to early September every year. When picking leaves, you must cut off all of them. As long as the external factors are suitable, new buds will grow in about a week. It is best to separate leaves by 30 days between two times. |
