Materials: a stone, a landscape basin, a little cement, a little fine sand, clay (these can be bought at any construction site), bonsai ornaments (pavilions, towers, boats, bridges, can be bought at the horticultural flower and bird market).
3. Making steps of rockery bonsai:
1, rockery bonsai design:
Before you make a rockery, you should decide what type to make and the shape of the bonsai. According to the idea, the shape of the mountain was originally placed in the sand table.
2. Modeling of rockery bonsai: The modeling of rockery bonsai can be divided into five types: independent, biased, open and close, scattered and overlapping. The making steps of indoor rockery bonsai are as follows:
(1) Pay attention to the foil between the basin and the shelf: basins generally include purple sand basin, magnetic disk, marble disk, stalactite "cloud disk" and terrazzo disk. In addition, the white hard plastic platter and white cement millstone platter sold in the market are affordable and can also be used for reference. Regarding several planes, we can use local materials to build several planes with local characteristics.
(2) The principles followed in the layout of rock bonsai:
First, from nature, create artistic conception.
B, clear priorities, take care of each other.
C, clear-cut, contrast.
D, the actual situation is suitable, it seems to be hidden.
E, rich in change, unified and coordinated.
3, rock processing:
(1) Sawing: Determine the position and size of the main body according to the drawn pattern. Then slowly level the bottom with a small saw. Then choose the side with clear texture and many caves as the front, and deal with it according to the envisaged effect. Turquoise can be sawed with a hacksaw, while hard rocks need to be sawed with an electric emery saw blade.
(2) Carving: First of all, carving should focus on the overall situation, use tools such as hammers and chisels to carve out the general outline of the mountain peaks, and then carry out fine processing (tips for green garden landscape: try to keep the natural beauty of water stones when processing).
4, adhesive rockery:
(1) First, adjust the cement mortar and pay attention to the dilution consistency of the mortar.
(2) Bonding the mountain, coating cement mortar on both sides of the rock to be bonded, so that the rock becomes a whole. Attention should be paid to bonding, so that no trace of fracture can be seen at the bonding place of rock as far as possible, and attention should be paid to removing excess mucilage at the bonding place.
5. Ornaments of rockery bonsai: Ornaments in landscape bonsai should be placed according to the scene. Where to set up pavilions, towers, boats and bridges depends on the environmental theme of the scenery. For example, at the foot of the mountain, a person can live in a house, at the water inlet and on the flat beach, and can be a ferry, so it's up to you whether this person is boating or fishing. A small bridge spans the ravine and a gazebo is set on the mountainside. In addition, we should also pay attention to the size ratio when decorating, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. Ornaments can be bought at the horticultural flower and bird market.
In addition to pavilion boats, you can also use key chains and matches as suspension bridges, and use moss to stick on rocks in the wet part of the open space to make turf to show the lush mountains. You can also fill in the mud at a certain place at the foot of the mountain and plant asparagus as trees. If the rock made of absorbent stone absorbs water well, the moss coated on it can survive.
6. Maintenance of rockery: After the mountain is built, you can't touch it immediately. Sprinkle water for two or three days, and the mountain will be basically stable.
Tips: If there are no natural rocks, you can also make plastic rockery bonsai with cement, sand, steel bars and soil, or you can make very beautiful rockery bonsai. Specific production steps, readers can refer to the site's "cement rockery production method", which has a detailed introduction.
Fourth, the placement of rockery bonsai:
If you have a holiday at home, if it is a duplex building, don't build it in the corner above the garden or the gate, so as not to "hold down" the door of the house and increase the pressure on your family. Don't enlarge the rockery in front of your desk, otherwise it will easily lead to career twists and turns or cause a series of troubles. Rockery bonsai can be placed behind a chair or living room sofa as a "backer", which not only makes the space more full, but also makes it easy to get rich. Rockery bonsai is suitable for indoor structures with too much space and too empty background, and not for houses with relatively narrow space.
