How to choose a potted plant with trees, all the skills are here.

There are many kinds of pots and pans produced in China, with ever-changing styles and extremely rich colors. As far as texture is concerned, there are pottery pots, pottery pots, glazed pots, porcelain pots and stone pots. However, their respective performances and functions are different, among which pottery pots and glazed pots are more commonly used. Yixing sand pottery basin and Guangdong Foshan glazed pottery basin have a long history and are well-known at home and abroad. Purple sand is a general term, created by Yixing, including cinnabar, purple mud, yellow mud, blue mud, old mud, pear skin mud, white mud, begonia red, cinnabar purple, Ding Yaobai, cold gold and other mud species. The pottery pot made of it has beautiful appearance, elegant color, certain water permeability and air permeability, which is beneficial to plant growth and development, and has both ornamental value and practical value. Foshan glazed pottery basin, elegant in shape, moist in glaze color and rich in decorative effect, is also the best in the basin. The "cloud basin" in Guangxi, also known as "Ganoderma lucidum basin", is a natural basin formed under natural conditions in limestone caves. The edge of the basin is tortuous, with strong layering and natural shape. It is quite interesting and unique for planting plants and making bonsai.

The bonsai world is called "one tree (stone), two pots and three frames". Obviously, matching pots is an important work in the process of bonsai creation. Potted bonsai should be selected from the size, depth, style, color and texture of the bowl.

First of all, the size and depth of the bowl should be suitable for trees. Because the basin is too big and too deep in space, the tree looks low and delicate, and does not show the big tree; The pot is too small and shallow, which makes the bonsai look bloated, top-heavy, lacking a sense of stability and out of balance. In addition, the basin is too big and too deep; There are many prosperous times, which are easy to be damp and decadent; Shallow basin soil contains less water, which is easy to supply water and nutrients, and affects the growth of trees (especially fruit trees). The size and depth of the basin are mainly determined by the diameter, crown width and height of the trees. The trees are dense, the crown is large, and the basin is relatively large and deep, shallow and small. Trees usually need a suitable basin surface larger than the crown. For tall trees, the crown can be smaller than the basin surface, but the height of the trunk should be larger than the basin surface or diameter. The jungle bonsai should be a little bigger to broaden the landscape. If the basin surface looks a little empty, it can be planted properly through the stone processing factory, which can achieve good results. The distribution of different tree species has different watershed sizes. Generally speaking, basins should be slow and slightly smaller conifers. Trees and flowers and fruits grow rapidly, such as big trees, wisteria, crape myrtle, osmanthus, plum blossom, begonia, begonia, wintersweet, persimmon, ginkgo and Acer. By analogy, the flowerpot should be a little bigger, and evergreen trees will grow and bloom. There is a certain contradiction between the size of the basin and the growth of trees. From the point of view of ornamental effect, it is best to use shallow pots. From the point of view of protection and management, trees are beneficial to the growth of river basins. These two aspects should be considered in basin matching.

Second, the style of the bowl should match the posture of the tree. The length, width and height of traditional trees are similar to pots, pots, pots, hexagonal begonia, bent stems, water types and weeping willows, and can also be such pots. As far as possible, the cliff type uses drum basins, and tens of thousands of straight, dry, dry, double-cone horizontal, dry root, shape, shape and stone forest types have rectangular or oval shallow dishes. Trees with unclear directions are suitable for round shallow basins and squares; In the shallow basin of literati's wood, the towering trees are elegant and free. Accessories placed in tree bonsai are also suitable for the role of accessories protruding from shallow pots. From the development trend, contemporary bonsai art advocates nature, and most of them use shallow bowls to highlight aesthetic roots (except cliffs, of course). With straight trees, the lines of potted plants should be upright and rectangular, and square pots can be used in various angles, paying attention to the expression of masculine beauty; Trees with curved lines should use round or oval or round deep pots to reflect the beauty of women. Because the basin also adopts the method of Bixing, such as taking a short-legged bath on the towering trees, it is relatively strong. A cross tree can lift a footbath. Large cliff styles sometimes use bowls of medium depth to highlight the length of drooping branches.

Third, the texture of the bowl should be delicate. Most kinds of pottery pots can be used, which is more suitable for conifers. The air permeability of glazed basin is slightly worse than that of teapot, which is also common and suitable for putting some wood, flowers and fruits. Stone pots and cement pots are durable and often used for the thick, simple and stable ancient stumps. Porcelain pots are waterproof and have poor air permeability, which is not conducive to plant growth and difficult to maintain. Some flowers and fruits can be used sometimes, but we should pay attention to the pot shape, which is not bright and unstoppable, and it is ideal as a set of pots. It is breathable and suitable for plant growth, but its texture is rough and monotonous, and it is usually only because of its appearance that tree embryos are planted. "Cloud basin" is suitable for natural and lively planting, with rich and diverse trees, and the regular pattern is not suitable for use.

Fourth, the pot color is elegant and the effect is better. Painted pottery basin, deep purple, vermilion, ivory white, blue, etc. Glaze also has many colors. The color of pottery is suitable for most kinds. Evergreen conifers have a red and purple pottery basin, which is more elegant and simple. Red maple should use white or light yellow glaze basin, ginkgo should use dark glass basin, such as blue glaze basin will lead to poor wisteria, white glaze basin is better, white hair, winter jasmine, broom and so on should use dark pottery or glaze basin.

The above four points are only basic principles, not absolute standards. There are many kinds of bonsai trees, and the actual operation is sometimes complicated, so we should grasp them flexibly according to the specific situation.
