Soil requirements

Based on growth conditions, the pot should be repotted once a year in spring. The pot soil should be loose, fertile, and have good drainage and air permeability. Commonly used are 2 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of coarse sand, vermiculite or perlite, 1 part of garden soil, and add a small amount of plant ash or bone meal as base fertilizer, mix well before use.

Water and fertilizer maintenance

Usually water according to the principle of "not dry, don't water, water thoroughly" to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil, and avoid long-term rain to avoid root rot. Pay attention to good ventilation when the temperature is high in summer to prevent leaf fall and root rot caused by hot and humid weather.

Apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every 20 days or so during the growth period. After fertilization, attention should be paid to loosening the soil to increase soil permeability and facilitate root absorption.

Light and temperature requirements

Except for a little shade during high temperatures in summer, it is necessary to receive as much sunlight as possible in other seasons. Ventilation should be strengthened in summer to avoid hot and humid environments, otherwise leaves will fall due to root rot. Keep the pot soil dry in winter, and it can survive the winter safely at around 5℃.

Trimming requirements

Prune off branches that affect the shape of the tree at any time during the growth period (the pruned branches can be used as cuttings or grafting materials), and the grafted plants should promptly wipe off the sprouted branches and leaves on the rootstock. Carry out reshaping every spring to cut off the branches that affect the tree's posture and shorten the overly long branches to promote strong new branches and make the bonsai beautiful.

Propagation methods

The propagation of Yalezhiwu is usually done by cutting or grafting. Cuttings are generally made during the growing season. Cuttings can be made from branches pruned during shaping. The length requirements are not strict, but they must have at least 3 to 4 pairs of leaves. Remove the lower leaves before inserting and let them dry for 1 to 2 days. After the wound is dry, insert them into culture soil and place them in a place without direct sunlight. Keep the soil slightly moist. Roots can take 2 to 3 weeks. After the seedlings survive, apply light fertilizer to make them grow vigorously. When the plants grow to a certain size, they can be shaped!

Styling method

The shape of the elegant dance bonsai can be carried out by a combination of pruning and pruning. Common forms include straight dry type, curved dry type, diagonal dry type, cliff type, waterfront type and other different forms. Because it is a fleshy stem, do not cut the metal wire into its skin when pricking, otherwise it will cause the fleshy stem to tear. Its branches are sparse, the long branches are slightly drooping, and the crown is mostly in a natural style, which is free and elegant, properly sparse, and very distinctive. You can also use the characteristics of its small and dense leaves to prune frequently to promote the growth of small branches and cultivate the crown into a compact triangle or steamed bun shape. For the Yale Dance that comes from cuttings, it can be slightly pruned and pruned, planted in a small pot, and matched with strange stones, and it will become an exquisite, cute, exquisite and unique miniature bonsai.
