How to raise the bonsai of red dance and red maple (sharing the breeding methods and precautions of red maple)
In every yard, there is always a maple tree missing. This should be the best compliment to Hongfeng. Hongfeng is a very suitable plant for family yard planting. Of course, the potted plants of Hongfeng are also very beautiful.
There are many varieties of red maple, and the change of each variety is also very great. Besides the traditional maple leaf shape, there are feather maple, and besides red, there are dark red, dark green, yellow, pink and so on. So how should we choose so many kinds?
The more gorgeous and special the red maple is, the more difficult it is to cultivate. For beginners, there is no mistake in raising a classic variety, among which Red Dancer/Lady Sakura is a very representative variety. The red dancer, also known as the Three Ji Hong, can be kept red for three seasons if it is cultivated properly, and it is also the most common one in maple bonsai.
Red dancer is produced in Japan, with graceful tree shape, small leaves, scarlet, waxy and shiny, and does not burn in summer (the top branches are always bright red because of the continuous growth of new branches in summer). The new leaves come from February of the lunar calendar, and the old leaves fall to November, which leaves half a month earlier than ordinary red maple, leaves fall about a month later, and the new leaves spit red in spring, summer and autumn. The leaves are bright and beautiful, which is an excellent new variety of foliage garden plants. Whether it is planted alone, in groups or as a street tree, it can make people intoxicated with the fiery charm of "tea dancing in Cui Yun" and is also an excellent new variety of foliage garden plants. With evergreen trees or white walls as the background, the landscape is particularly beautiful.
So are there other varieties of red maple suitable for novice cultivation? If you like yellow maple, Jordan is also a good choice.
So, for some friends who have farming experience and want some unique varieties, I recommend Rilishan and Taylor here. The color changes of Rili Mountain are extremely rich. The Rili Mountain, which just germinated in spring, is composed of green veins, yellow leaves and pink leaves. In summer, the leaves turn green and the leaves turn red, which is a very interesting and colorful variety.
Taylor is a noblewoman in the selection of Hongfeng, whose pink leaves have fascinated countless Hongfeng lovers, but Taylor is also notoriously delicate, and many experienced flower friends have also overturned their cars on Taylor. Therefore, if you want to cultivate Taylor's friends, it is recommended to try some other Hongfeng varieties first.
cultivation method of red maple
Red maple is relatively easy to cultivate, because all the varieties we bought at present are grafted red maple, and their shortcomings have been basically optimized.
Acer truncatum is a subtropical tree species, which likes humid, warm climate and cool environment. It likes light but avoids sun exposure. It is a neutral shade-prone tree species, which is more resistant to shade. In summer, dry and hot wind will cause leaf edge to wither, and high-temperature sun burning will also damage bark, so it is more cold-resistant. In the north of the Yellow River, it is appropriate to plant in pots and enter the room in winter. But it can also grow in full light in spring and autumn. The requirements for soil are not strict, and it is suitable for growing in fertile acidic or neutral sandy loam rich in humus, and it is not resistant to waterlogging.
