How to plant ash bonsai

1. Downhill pile

1. If conditions permit, you can harvest it in winter and early spring, but not from mid-June to mid-August. Avoid damage during digging and prevent excessive water shortage.

2. After digging, the mountain stumps need to be processed. It is relatively easy to take root, so the rotten roots that affect growth should be cut off to prevent obstruction of later absorption. You also need to replenish water to prevent dehydration. If conditions permit, you can soak it in a rooting agent, which will help it to take root in the later stage.

3. After the treatment, you can prepare the sand and soil, then plant the down-hill stumps in it and wait for them to germinate, take root and survive.

2. Cutting

1. Although it is convenient to use downhill piles for planting, this method is not recommended now in order to protect the ecological environment. Now you can use cuttings, which is also convenient to do at home.

2. Cutting branches is very important for the survival of cuttings. Prepare the plant and cut strong one-year-old branches from it into about 10 cm.

3. You can use sandy soil for cuttings, insert the branches into it, provide appropriate shade, and keep it moist. It will take about 30 days for roots to take shape.

4. After the growth is stable, you can plant it and grow it into a bonsai for viewing.
