PREPARING
BONSAI FROM CUTTING
Choose young branches from a vigorous and healthy plant as older
branches are difficult to root and propagate so as not to injure
the end of cutting use a stick to make small holes in the soil where
the plant will be inserted. Wiring can be done to give the plant
a desired shape.
REPOTTING
OF THE PLANT
An
appropriate pot is taken and the holes are covered with wire mesh.
Take
a wire and pass through the holes. Cover the bottom of the container
with coarse soil then spread medium soil, now keep the prepared
plant in proper position and tie the wire to the base of the plant
to keep in position.
Fill
the container with medium soil and sprinkle fine soil on top.
Water the top layer.
Keep
it in shade for a week or so and slowly start exposing it to the
sun. Repot the plant according to the shape of container and style
required. Along with repotting pruning of branches and thinning
of roots is also required.
