HOW TO GROW A BONSAI TREE FOREST

WHAT IS BONSAI TREE FOREST

It is a bonsai planted with multiple plants in a pot to resemble a forest is called BONSAI TREE FOREST. A well-balanced combination of young trees creates a cohesive and beautiful view. Trees with an individuality that are tailored with one tree are not suitable. Gather unchanging trees and create a planting bonsai that reflects the beautiful scenery.

HOW TO MAKE BONSAI SOIL FOR PLANTING

The composition is changed according to the tree species, to the basic medium of Akadama soil 8 and river sand 2.
Miscellaneous woods can be left in the basic composition, but for pinewood, increase the ratio of river sand.

POTS THAT MATCH PLANTING BONSAI

Since several trees are planted side by side, large pots are the first requirement.
When planted in oval or rectangular shallow pots, you can reproduce the state of a widespread forest.
If you want to emphasize the color, there is no doubt if you decide while considering the colors of autumn leaves and fresh green leaves.
If you want to reproduce the pine forest, it is recommended because the shallow baked bowls fit.

Prepare a bowl.

1. Let's fix the pot bottom net firmly to the bottom of the pot with aluminum wire.
2. Let's pour the pot sand, Fuji sand until the pot bottom is hidden.
3. Use a mortar and pour the soil until the potstone is hidden.

 Prepare seedlings.

1. Let's take out the yamabashi seedling from the seedling pot. While using chopsticks, loosen the roots little by little. Let's gently remove the old soil. It is convenient to use tweezers.
2. Once the roots are loosened, place the roots in tub water and gently loosen with your fingers to wash. Let's remove the old medium as cleanly as possible. Doing so will make it easier to adapt to the new medium.
3. After washing, gently squeeze it with kitchen paper, etc., and gently press it to wipe off the moisture.
4. Next, wash the roots of the cowberry seedlings. Cowberry roots are soft and are treated with care. While soaking in the water from the beginning, gently loosen with your fingers to remove the old soil.
5. After washing the cowberry root, gently wipe off the water with kitchen paper.

 Let's plant.

1. This time, Yamakobashi is the main tree. Let's think about the placement and orientation of the seedlings in various ways, taking the trunk into consideration. In the case of planting with other seedlings, it is better to use the larger seedling as the main tree for well-balanced bonsai work.
2. Once the image is solid, plant cowberry around the base of the yamabashi. Cowberry should be planted as close as possible.
3. Fill the soil while fixing the seedlings so that they do not collapse. Add the soil little by little, and use the chopsticks to get the soil to the root.
4. Once the soil is clean in the gaps between the roots, spray a spray on the surface of the soil. Spraying makes it easier to spread moss. Also, gently smooth the soil surface with your finger.

 Let's put moss.

1. The moss removes the old moss on the back with a finger. Then divide the moss, which is slightly larger than the pot, into about half.
2. Spread the moss under the cowberry. Let's stick it while preparing the cowberry while paying attention to the balance with the yamakobashi.
3. The moss chopsticks that pop out of the bowl are pushed in with split chopsticks.
4. Let's add moss paste while watching the overall balance.

 Let's spread makeup sand.

1. We put makeup sand on the surface of the soil by putting the soil. Be careful not to put it on moss.
2. If you add water, the appearance capacity of the makeup sand will decrease, so put a little more.
3. Spray water carefully with a spray and smooth the surface with your fingers. If you put too much makeup sand, the sand will overflow from the pot, so it is good to put the makeup sand about 2 to 3 cm below the edge of the pot. This is completion.

1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF BONSAI TREE FOREST

 Small wood-type planting

Imagine zelkova growing in the plains.
The forest, which is lined with calm trees, has a quiet and calm atmosphere.
The trunk extends straight, and the branches spread in all directions.
Look at the forest that spreads horizontally on a large elliptical pot.
he gentler the shallower the bowl, the more spacious the view will be.

Prepare one large, straight tree, the main tree, and several smaller trees.
Choosing a tree with branches extending diagonally upward will create a spacious space.
Set the center in the pot and put the main tree there.
It is important that the center is offset to the left or right of the bowl.
Then, small trees are planted around the main tree while facing out.
The main tree extends toward the heavens, and the surrounding trees can be reproduced outward by moving outward.

Pine forest type planting

It is a type that creates a landscape where pine trees are lined up along the coast.
The trunk is tilted by the strong wind from the sea, and the branches are also blown to one side.
The roots that resist the wind hold the ground firmly and the whole pine tree is full of strength.

Trunks and branches are rich in variety, and strong materials are selected.
Let's prepare several things of different sizes to change the scenery.
We tilt the trunk greatly and plant it while imagining the scene being blown by the sea breeze.
It is a good idea to extend the branches to the inclined side of the trunk.
The trick is to plant one side of the pot.
By embedding the soil at the foot of the planted feet, the strong roots are emphasized.
It is important that the largest tree is positioned at the edge and fall down over all the trees.
Kuromatsu is the best material, but if you can't get it, Ezomatsu and Morimatsu are also good.

How to get the perspective of a grouped bonsai

If you want to see the deep forest, Put the large trees in front and the small trees behind.
If you push the small tree trunk outwards, you will get more spread.

How to bring out the change and harmony of the planting bonsai

An interesting harmony can be obtained by combining different types of trees.

Before you get used to it, enjoy the change by using the same kind of tree and building different sized ones.

The planting position is not collected in the center, but on one side.

It is also important to have a static and dynamic element in one bowl.

Let's arrange a tree that feels the power and a group of weak thin trees in a balanced manner.

Ideally, the position of the planted tree is a trapezoidal triangle, as viewed from above.

The BONSAI TREE FOREST or Group plantings are probably the most engaging subjects for bonsai. They look practical and individuals can identify with them no problem at all. It is said that when you take a gander at a very much made bonsai forest, you could nearly envision small birds flying through the branches. Practically any species can be utilized for bonsai woodlands - larches, maples, hornbeams, beech, pines, junipers - the list is endless.
