If you want to see the piles, you can't take the plants with luxuriant branches and leaves. The best ones are the ones with twisty stems and small leaves, but with more prosperous flowers and rich fruits. For example: Pyracantha, nantianzhu, top ten Mahonia, Elaeagnus, Phoebe, tussah, bird does not stay and so on, these are evergreen varieties in all seasons.
There are also varieties of fallen leaves: wisteria, Langyu, Xiaoye anzhen, triangle maple, crape myrtle, Quemei, bayberry, spear, etc. the varieties of fallen leaves are also divided into winter and spring categories, and their stumps are suitable for bonsai.
How to see if the vitality of the stump is tenacious? First, start with the bark of the stump. Cut the bark of the stump with a knife. It's green inside, and there are small water droplets seeping out. When looking at the branches, you can bend them slightly, resist bending, or obviously feel that they have strong humidity after breaking. Finally, look at the roots, there are also small water droplets seeping out. This kind of stump is very suitable for bonsai.
First of all, we need to have a strong shape, a straight posture, the whole plant has a relatively smooth rise, and there are many thin roots, its leaves are also relatively wide and thick, with obvious luster, etc., and the rise of its branches should be arranged in a certain order, without additional truncation and binding, as long as a little pruning can create a natural tree shape, which is suitable for the bonsai with stumps
In the process of stump bonsai maintenance, we should pay special attention to watering. The way of watering is not just to water the roots, but also to water the leaves. It's better to choose the plants with relatively small leaves to do bonsai, so as to avoid imbalance of proportion.
