1. Selection of upper basin and front Basin

If you want to make a good bonsai, we must choose the right basin before that. This is determined by the shape you want to make. A good basin can better set off the characteristics of bonsai. Generally, we often use purple sand basin and glazed pottery basin. Such a basin not only looks bright in color, but also makes the matching effect look better. In addition, the size of the basin is also very important. If the basin is too large, it is very good for the growth of Vitex, but if it is used for viewing, the effect is poor. On the contrary, it will grow slowly and have good ornamental performance. Therefore, it should be determined according to your own needs to see which kind of basin is more suitable for you and choose flexibly

2. How to shape

It is generally cultivated for three years, and its modeling skeleton has basically been formed. When the spring of the fourth year, we can pick up the Vitex from the basin, trim its branches and roots, and then replant it in a blue glazed pottery basin with a height of 8 cm and a diameter of 15 cm. It can be coiled and properly trimmed according to its desired shape. As long as the modeling skeleton is basically formed, it can be cultivated and processed, and can also be used for viewing. Basically, it can be completely formed after three years of cultivation

3. Precautions

In the pot where trees are planted, it is difficult to grow tall and thick because its root system will be greatly hindered. Vitex bonsai is generally different from other trees. It usually has to pick leaves many times. Although its germination ability is very strong, the leaves are too large, so the bonsai produced is not very good-looking. Then we can pick its leaves three to four times from early May to early September every year. When picking leaves, all its leaves should be cut off. As long as the external factors are appropriate, new buds can grow in about a week. It is best to pick leaves twice every 30 days
