Preparations

If you want to make a beautiful rosewood bonsai, you can't do without a flowerpot, soil and plants. Before you officially start to make it, you should first choose the flowerpot and plants. That's not to say, the flowerpot can be selected according to your own preferences, and the plants can grow vigorously. Let's focus on the preparation of soil. Red flower is suitable for the growth of alkaline soil. Therefore, in addition to loose, permeable and fertile soil, the soil also needs to be alkaline, at least not acid soil.

Stump cultivation

Generally, the stumps we select are not very large stumps. If there are many fibrous roots in these stumps, they can be directly planted in the basin. However, those stumps are coarser and larger or the fibrous roots on the stumps are less. If they are directly planted in the basin, the survival rate will be greatly reduced, and they should be planted in the land for a period of time and then treated in the basin.
