Some friends don’t know much about black pine , and they fall into 5 misunderstandings in maintaining black pine pedestals. The main manifestation is that too many miscellaneous tree species have been taken against black pine and collected maintenance methods everywhere, for fear that something will be missing will lead to dry piles.

In fact, black pine is a tree stump that is easy to nourish and live. Black pine makes bonsai, which has a long lifespan, twisted trunks, and is easy to maintain. This is also the reason everyone likes. However, blindly imitating the mountain environment and raising black pine as a miscellaneous tree species will definitely make a mistake.

, Black pine is afraid of water and drought resistance

Black pine is not resistant to water accumulation and drought resistance, which is for the black pine in the mountains that survive open air. In fact, when we plant black pine raising piles in pots or ground, we are also afraid of waterlogging; the difference is that the black pine raising piles are not resistant to drought, and prefer loose and breathable humus , and prefer moist soil in pots.

There are more fibrous and lateral roots in the root system of black pine. red pine , oil pine , and Huashan pine are mostly raw fibrous roots on the main roots, with fewer lateral roots. We know that in soils with abundant organic matter, there are many white roots, there are many yellow roots, there are many water-stabilized soils, and there are many gray roots in soils with excessive heavy metals. The white roots are strong, the yellow roots save lives, the black roots are sick (rot), and the gray roots are deadly (root hardening).

This means that the fibrous roots are mostly white roots and yellow roots, and they prefer a humid environment. The above content shows that when the black pine raw pile is stocked, it should not be too wet; it should not be too dry. Being dry does not mean drought. If the drying time is a little longer, the pile may be dry. For the already alive piles, the pot soil is better moist; the fixed black pine bonsai can appropriately control the water, and control the length of the branches and the length of the needle leaves.

, the view that black pine bare root transplant can survive

Some friends insist on naked root transplantation of black pine can survive, such as the small black pine seedlings in the nursery, but the survival rate of downhill piles is too low. This is because the black pine has mycorrhizal bacteria symbiosis, without the original soil, and the symbiosis of mycorrhizal symbiosis is gone. The root system requires the survival of substances decomposed by mycorrhizal bacteria. Without mycorrhizal bacteria, the root system can only starve to death.

This is why it takes two years to transplant black pine. First, dig the tree hole, cut off the main root, backfill the planting soil and rooting powder , and transplant it again next year.

Digging piles with soil balls, Figure 3

. The view that black pine needs soil balls with soil repotting

Black pine needs to be repotted for 2-3 years to be basined. When we dig raw piles, we need to bring original soil, which is conducive to improving survival rate. Do we need to bring soil balls when repotting? The suggestion is that there is no need for otou balls. This is because the original soil balls that are brought with them when digging the raw piles become very hard, have poor permeability, have few nutrients, and have high degree of plate solidification. There are basically no microorganisms. Such soil balls reduce nutrient supply and are not conducive to the growth of mycorrhizal fungi.

When we changed the pot, the fibrous roots of the black pine were already very dense, so there was no need to worry about survival rate. Therefore, when changing the basin, you can first control the water, then remove the basin, and rinse the soil in the middle of the root system with water.

Here, after rinsing, be sure to slurry with yellow mud added to microbial agent . This is the most critical step in repotting the black pine stump and the basis for later growth.

microbial bacteria fertilizer and bacteria agent are not only needed for pine materials, but most tree species also require microorganisms to participate in root activities. We can look at vegetables, fruits, and crops. Any organic fertilizer and fertilizer mixed with bright colors and good taste, but only fertilizers are used are far inferior. This is the credit for microbial agents.

4, viewpoint of disinfection of black pine soaking fungicide

Some friends use mutant soak the root system, resulting in the dry needle not falling, and it is dry.The root system cannot be soaked with deciduous wood. The principle is the same as that of killing mycorrhizal fungi.

When basined, no soil balls were added, leaf rot soil was added. Figure 6

5. The view that black pine does not like fat water

This is a conclusion drawn by a friend based on the environment where mountain pine grows, but it is actually wrong. According to many information, black pine is cold-resistant to drought and barrenness. In mountainous land, there is a shortage of water and fertilizer. In order to survive, they can only endure barrenness and drought, which does not mean that they do not like fertilizer and water.

We often say that the Chinese people are hard-working, and they are all short of money and can’t help. In order to praise the poor, the word "hard work" was invented. Who is still hardworking when you have money? Look at those rich people, which one made a fortune by enduring hardships? The truth is the same as the black pine.

So after the stake is born, you must increase the amount of fertilizer and water to maintain the stake, and do not delay the problem by enduring barrenness. Of course, a fixed black pine bonsai still needs to control water and fertilizer, which is easy to maintain the shape.

wet, is this drought-tolerant? Figure 7

Summary: In addition, there is also the view that black pine is resistant to half shade. This is also the conclusion drawn by some friends who saw black pine growing on the back of the mountain. Black Pine is a positive tree species of , and likes full sunlight. In addition to the raw piles just dug, the longer the sunshine time of black pine, the better.

So when we plant black pine, we need to pay attention to distinguishing our stump and which stage we belong to, so as to reasonably allocate light time . In short, the view of this article is to plant black pine downhill piles, and you cannot take it one-sidedly and use the method of falling leaves and mixed woods on black pine.

To sum up these 5 points, black pine bonsai is afraid of waterlogging and likes moisture, naked root transplantation does not like to live, do not bring soil balls in repots, do not bubble bacteria in raw piles, and feed cooked piles with large water.

good drainage and like moist soil. Figure 8
