Bonsai is different from flower arrangement. The main differences are: different properties, different materials and different processes, as follows:

First, the nature is different.

1, bonsai

It is a work of art with plants and rocks as the basic materials to express the natural landscape of the basin.

Step 2 arrange flowers

Flower arrangement is to create a flower-shaped plastic art, that is, to insert flowers in bottles, plates, pots and other containers, rather than planting them in these containers.

Second, the materials are different.

1, bonsai

Bonsai is generally divided into two categories: stump bonsai and landscape bonsai. The former takes trees as the main material and can be divided into four categories: branch viewing, leaf viewing, fruit viewing and flower viewing. The latter mainly takes rocks, water and soil as materials, water as the main bonsai, soil and stone as dry bonsai, and both soil and water as dry bonsai.

Step 2 arrange flowers

Mainly flowers. Inserted flowers, or branches, or flowers, or leaves, have no roots, just a part of the plant.

Third, the process is different.

(1), stump bonsai

Stump bonsai can be divided into straight stem, inclined stem, bent stem, lying stem, cliff, dead stem, rooting, attached stone, jungle and other forms. The best culture soil is loose, breathable, well drained and can keep fertilizer. Bonsai can be made by pruning, tying branches with metal wires or brown wires, bending them into a certain shape, and then pruning them carefully year after year.

② Landscape bonsai

Choose a good theme in advance, and carefully design, select and process stones according to the theme, or apply and mine according to the types of stones. Rock materials are turquoise (soft stone) and hard stone (hard stone). Loose stones can be chiseled into ravines, caves and peaks with special hammers; Hard stones are cut and sawed to get rid of weeds and preserve essence.

Step 2 arrange flowers

There are two ways to fix the flowers in the bouquet: one is to tie them with thin wire. Every flower and leaf is wrapped with thin iron wire wrapped with green tape before modeling. The other is to use a special receptacle with flower paste in it, and insert the flowers in the receptacle according to the shape. This method is simpler and easier.
