When making a yew bonsai, you can choose a larger flowerpot, and the specific shape can be determined according to your preferences and needs of the shape. A square purple sand basin is recommended. Make more holes at the bottom of the pot to enhance the air permeability and water permeability of the pot.
Yew like loose, fertile, moist and breathable, rich in humic acid soil, which can be mixed with peat soil and perlite. Do not use clay, airtight, and do not use sand, sand fertilizer, but poor water retention.
In the spring, select some healthy and full-bodied branches growing upward, cut them off, put them in the running water to wash away the resin from the wound, prepare clean and pollution-free coarse sand or vermiculite, and insert the washed branches into the coarse sand or vermiculite, the cutting depth is one third of the branches, after the planting, water them, and put them in the half shade for maintenance. Pay attention to water spray, when the growth of 40 days or so, will take root, to 90 days or so, you can transplant seedlings into the prepared pot.
Yew is not suitable for cliff and waterside bonsai. Its crown is mostly natural, and it can make bonsai with the characteristics of natural drooping of twigs. When making, cut off the branches that are not needed for modeling, and cut off other branches appropriately according to the actual situation. Some branches with poor shape and wrong position can be bound with wire. Can put the root out of the soil surface, make it hang the root and expose the claw, improve the artistic value of bonsai
Taxus miniascape like wet growth environment, not waterlogging resistant. When it is hot in summer, it needs to be watered more, and spray water to the leaves at the same time to maintain the wet growth environment. To avoid rain, in winter to reduce the number of times to water, to do not dry not water, water is the principle.
The demand for fertilizer of Taxus chinensis is not high, it is best to apply a little more. In the growth period, we should apply some rapeseed fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer to Taxus chinensis. Every half a month to apply rapeseed cake fertilizer, can let yew bonsai grow more luxuriant
Every February, we need to prune the Taxus miniascape, because February is the season when the Taxus miniascape begins to sprout, which plays a great role in the growth of the Taxus miniascape. Growth period is not suitable for pruning.
