How to make black pine bonsai

Production time:

The best time to make bonsai is between winter and spring, during which time the black pine is in a dormant state, which is very conducive to the making of bonsai. The probability of success is also relatively high, and the possibility of death and damage is also the lowest. If you want to shape it, you can choose to do it in the summer when its growth is most vigorous.

Black pine material selection:

The best material for making bonsai is the wild black pine in the pine forest in the mountains. You can take the seeds of wild black pine for planting. When it grows up, it can be made and shaped.

Concept of production:

Even pure wild black pine has imperfections, so it still needs to be pruned, tied, etc. When it is not fully grown, the tree shape needs to be adjusted, or certain branches need to be bent, etc. Before making it, you need to have a simple idea, and then you can use different tools to make it. The making of the main trunk is the most important step in the entire bonsai.

Production method:

1. The original main trunk is relatively thick and can be cut to avoid a main trunk occupying too much space in the flowerpot.

2. Select appropriate side branches and fix them or let them grow downward. When selecting side branches, pay attention to giving them a staggered feel. Do not let them grow opposite each other, or have two side branches on the same horizontal line. This will affect its ornamental value.

3. During its growth period, you can do climbing and tying. If you want to control its growth, you can pick the buds.
