If we want to make a good bonsai, we must choose a good bonsai before that, which is determined by the shape you want to make. A good basin can better set off the characteristics of bonsai. Generally, we often use purple sand basin and glazed pottery basin. This kind of basin not only looks bright in color, but also makes the matching effect look better. In addition, the size of the basin is also very important. If the basin is too large, it is very good for the growth of Vitex, but if it is used for viewing, the effect will be poor. Otherwise, it will grow slowly and have a good view. So it is decided according to your own needs, to see which basin is more suitable for you, and to choose flexibly
Generally, it has been cultivated for three years, and its modeling framework has basically been formed. In the spring of the fourth year, we can pick out the Vitex from the basin, trim its branches and roots, and then replant it in a blue glazed pottery basin with a height of 8 cm and a diameter of 15 cm, which can be shaped according to our own needs. A certain amount of curling and proper trimming. As long as the shape of the skeleton of the Vitex is basically formed, it can be cultivated and processed, and can also be used for viewing. Basically, it can be fully formed after 3 years of cultivation.
In the basin where the trees are planted, because its root system will be greatly hindered, it is difficult to grow tall, long and thick. Bauhinia bonsai is generally different from other trees. It usually needs to pick leaves many times. Although its germination ability is very strong, but the leaves are too large, so the bonsai produced is not very good-looking. Then we can pick the leaves 3 to 4 times from the beginning of May to the beginning of September every year. When picking leaves, we should cut off all the leaves. As long as the external factors are appropriate, we can grow new buds in a week or so. The time between picking leaves must be 30 days.
