An overview of the art of bonsai
Bonsai, the artistic representation of a natural tree, appeared in China over a thousand years in a very basic level known as "pun-sai." The Japanese have registered to adopt and perfect the art to an extent not yet approached in China. Today the Japanese bonsai as a symbol of their culture and ideals.
Sound arrival in the Western world, the art of bonsai has been very well received and adopted as a hobby or rewarding hobby. Is said to allow better understanding and being with nature and more to enhance our gardens.
The five basic styles Vertical Vertical bonsai formal, informal, slope (or wind), semi-cascade and cascade. Everyone has their own beauty and serenity.
A tree with a style as formal law occurs when grown outdoors in perfect conditions. The most important condition for this style is that the trunk should be perfectly straight, decreasing naturally and evenly from base to summit. The branches should be symmetrically spaced so that they are in balance when viewed from all directions. It is a style quite challenging to achieve. Juniper, pine, fir and are ideal for trying to grow the formal upright style.
In an informal upright bonsai the trunk slightly must turn right or left - but never the viewer. This applies to all types of bonsai. Neither the trunk or branches should be directed toward the viewer when the bonsai viewed from the front. For this style, try a Japanese maple, trident maple, or almost all conifers and ornamental trees.
Trees are naturally inclined the result of winds or deep shade fan during early development. Whether curved or straight, the trunk is tilted at an angle defined. Real pressure More on the opposite side from the angle of inclination of the trunk, to support the weight. Almost all types of tree will work well with this style.
The tip grow a bonsai cascade at the base of a container. The trunk has a natural inclination and gives the impression of the forces of nature pulling against the forces of gravity. The branches seem to be searching for light. The winding main trunk is reminiscent of a meandering stream on the mountainside. There are many types of trees that can be used for a cascading bonsai. The key here is to ensure that the tree is not naturally straight and vertical.
The tip of a semi-cascade, such as cascade, projects over the edge of the container, but does not fall below its base. The style occurs in nature when trees grow on cliffs or excess water. The angle trunk in this bonsai is not accurate, if the effect is very flat, even as the plant grows well below the rim of the pot. The exposed roots should balance the trunk. Flowering cherry, cedar, juniper and work very well in this style of bonsai. Many people think that this kind of Bonsai is the epitome of beauty in art.
It is important to remember, as a beginner, no single style of bonsai is the "right" style. More than anything else should not try to train a bonsai to grow in a style that is not used. Explore natural growth patterns of tree that will grow and improve the model of nature gave him.
