Do you usually maintain tree root bonsai at home? In fact, raising a pot of root bonsai at home can improve the artistic atmosphere at home.
For example, this kind of ficus is very good, easy to take care of, but also very good-looking.
So how to maintain it?
The first pot should be selected as much as possible, preferably a mud pot, and the plant should be breathable and permeable, which is the premise of the strong root system of the plant. Choose good soil, the soil is preferably red jade soil, the plant is easy to root. Being ready for these is fundamental. Choose the season, move the plants into large pots, and give the plants sufficient water and fertilizer according to the living habits, ventilation and sunshine of the plants. Usually to bacteria and fertilizer. Plants do not give birth to insects, and get sick.
So what is the importance of bonsai roots? After the stump root system is first formed, it is necessary to refine the roots frequently. Bonsai plants should be placed under full sun conditions, strengthen light, increase fertilization, watering, and alternating dry and wet. Especially in summer, there should often be a dry state, so that the roots of the tree seek to develop, and the roots will grow a lot.
Roots are the basis for the growth of trees, and without the growth of roots, there is no growth in other parts. The growth of tree roots requires a suitable temperature, most plants begin to wake up at about 10 degrees Celsius soil temperature, and the most suitable temperature for roots is 17 33, and the best temperature is about 25 (soil temperature). Therefore, the growth of roots generally precedes the growth of leaves, and if the roots do not wake up and the leaves sprout first, it mainly depends on the nutrients of the stump itself.
The supporting roots with ornamental effect are mainly lateral roots and thick roots, which basically lose the main function of absorbing nutrients, and only have the role of meristem new roots to channel nutrients.
Lateral roots play an important role in the structure of the stump as a structural part of the roots. Capillary roots play an indispensable role in physiology and are the lifeblood of stump life.
In late autumn, winter and spring, try to increase the soil temperature, and insist on full sun exposure in summer. After seeing that the soil is dry, pour it thoroughly. Adhere to the diligent application of thin fertilizer, try to use organic and keep the soil soft, which is conducive to the decomposition, transformation and absorption of air, fertilizer and water.
This kind of management can make the roots relatively robust, and can provide sufficient nutrients, water and minerals for the growth of the whole plant, so as to promote the early formation of the stump, which is plump and vigorous after forming. After the slender roots grow and thick, it is convenient for the shape of the roots, and the roots are exposed, and if the small bonsai is small, the roots can be appreciated for 3 or 5 years. In this way, the shape, roots, stems, branches, and leaves achieve the visual effect of artistic beauty.
