PLANTS LIKE THE FAN ABOVE ARE PRUNED LIGHTLY TO KEEPTHE SHAPE THEN LAID FLAT ON THE STAGING. I FIND THIS PRODUCES NEW GROWTH MOREQUICKLY.THE SUPPORT HAS BEEN INCREASED BY 6" ALL ROUND FOR 2012, SOHOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE COVERED BY SHOW TIME

长到上图这种程度的苗，为了保持形状，进行轻微修剪后，将盆侧躺放在苗床上，这样更利于侧枝的萌发。

MY ANGELS GET TREATED DIFFERENTLY, THEY ARE CUT BACKBY HALF TO START WITH LIKE THE PLANT OF QUANTOCK KIRSTY BELOW.

然而我对天使型的修剪则不同，通常我保留从根基到顶芽之间一半的长度，而不是一剃到底。

WHEN THE NEW GROWTH APPEARS A FEW WEEKS LATER I THENCUT BACK AGAIN TRYING TO KEEP A SHAPE AS I DO SO. THE REASON THAT I DO THIS ISTHAT IN THE PAST I HAVE LOST CERTAIN VARIETIES BY CUTTING BACK HARD STRAIGHTAWAY.

当新芽生长数周之后，我再按之前的修剪方式重复进行，直到获得我满意的株型为止，由于过去我采用彻底剃头的方法导致一些品种的死亡，改用反复剃头而适度切短，有效避免了杯具的重演。

NO3、TIPS ANDBONSAI/盆栽技巧



WHEN POTTING ON HERE IS HOW I ALWAYS GET THE PLANTIN THE MIDDLE OF THE POT. IN THE PHOTO I AM PUTTING A 3" POT INTO A4" . ENOUGH COMPOST IS ADDED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 4" TO BRING THE3" UP TO THE RIGHT LEVEL, PLACE THE SMALLER POT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE4". FILL THE SPACE IN BETWEEN WITH COMPOST.

当需要给小盆苗换大一号的盆的时候，我通常把等待换盆苗大小的花盆放入大一号的待用盆中，盛满栽培介质， 然后在外层填满介质，如下图

POTTING ON A 3" INTO A 4" POT.

BEFORE REMOVING THE INNER POT, TAP ALL OF IT ON THEBENCH THEN TOP UP WITH MORE COMPOST. THE REASON I DO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE ITDOES NOT ALL COLLAPSE ON ME WHEN IT IS REMOVED.

移除中间花盆之前，拍打外层的栽培介质确保压实，以免取出后介质松垮下来。

REMOVE THE 3"POT FROM THE PLANT THEN JUST DROPIT INTO THE WAITING SPACE IN THE 4", TAP ON THE BENCH TO SETTLE IT IN. IFNEED BE ADD MORE COMPOST TO ANY SPACE LEFT IN THE TOP OF THE POT. REPEAT THISEVERY TIME THAT PLANT IS POTTED ON UNTIL IT REACHES ITS FINAL POT.

然后就可以把等待花盆的苗整个土球一起从盆中取出，放入准备好的盆中，压紧后拍打几次，确保栽培介质充分接触。

（本人是非专业人士，换盆从来没有这么麻烦过，呵呵！小盆换大盆时，直接在大盆底部放一两厘米厚的基质和适量肥料，上面再加一厘米左右的基质后，将小盆里磕出来的花苗放在大盆的中间，四周再填充上混合好肥料的基质，边填里边蹲盆，最后再用手指轻轻压实四周的土就OK了。我换盆时一般就1000倍的高锰酸钾溶液作为定根水，这样既能杀菌又能促发新根，一举两得。）



THIS IS SOMETHING I FIND USEFUL WHEN WATERING.

WHEN CHECKING THE PLANTS,ALL THE ONES THAT DONOT NEED WATER, I PLACE A CANE IN THE POT. THE NEXT DAY ALL I HAVE TO DO ISCHECK THE ONES WITH CANES .IF THEY THEN WANT WATERING,I DO SO AND THEN REMOVETHE CANE.

另外分享一个关于浇水的小技巧，当我每次浇水完成之后，把那些没有干透不需要浇水的花盆中插入一个小棍子，这样第二天查看温棚的时候，我就只需要检查那些插了小棍的盆子，因为没有插的都是不需要浇水的，这样如果插了小棍的盆子也需要浇水，那么浇水之后移除小棍，就可以确保每次只检查一部分而且不会误浇到那些没有干的苗了。

BONSAI /盆景

RATHER THEN THROW THESE MINIATURES AWAY AS THEY HADBECOME WOODY, I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY MY HAND AT MAKING THEM INTO BONSAI. THEPHOTOS OF WENSUM & EAST SUSSEX WERE TAKEN A DAY AFTER THEY WERE POTTED UPON 24.09.09, SO I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THEY WILL BE OK AND MAKE NEWROOTS. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE I HAD TO REMOVE SO MUCH OF THE OLD ROOT BALL TO GETTHEM INTO BONSAI POTS.

CARDINGTON WAS DONE AT THE SAME TIME, AND HASSETTLED IN AND STARTED TO FLOWER IN JULY.

对于那些枝条已经严重木质化的老苗（迷你品种），除了淘汰，我发现还有个很好的处理办法，那就是尝试做成微型盆景，我把大部分的枝条剪去，并且把老根清理一遍，去掉了大部分老化的根系，把苗种入这种盆景用的小花盆里。
