When making miniature bonsai, we should choose a small pot, which should best match the posture of the pile and coordinate with the color of the whole plant of thyme. You can also use daily necessities as pots, such as teacups, small bowls, bird food cans and so on. You need to drill a hole in the bottom to improve drainage. In addition, it is best to choose the pot holder according to the color form of the flowerpot.

Step 2: Soil preparation

The soil conditions suitable for the growth of thyme are relatively simple, but because the leaves are slightly fleshy, the growth is easily affected by the humid environment. It is necessary to ensure that the planting soil has good drainage performance. It is suggested to use peat soil as cultivation soil, and it is necessary to add about 20% basin soil and other media conducive to drainage.

Step 3: Get the materials.

Plants used to make miniature bonsai of thyme should be excavated or cut from the strong lignified thyme mother plants in spring and autumn, both cultivated artificially and excavated in the field. When digging, cut off the trunk and most branches of thyme, water it, cut off the main roots and lateral roots in turn after the soil is formed, dig out the soil balls and transplant them into the pot as soon as possible.

Step 4: put the washbasin on.

Choose a suitable basin according to the actual shape of the intercepted plants, spread a small screen window at the bottom of the basin, sprinkle a little culture soil, and move all the stumps with soil balls in. In order to fill the compacted gap, leave only one centimeter of space and water it in a sheltered place for a week.

Step 5: Maintenance.

Generally, the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet" is adhered to in watering. Water once in the morning and once in the evening in summer drought. When plants are short of water, it is not allowed to over-water at one time, and the amount of water should be gradually increased. Fertilization is based on the principle of "less application". You can use homemade liquid fertilizer or apply a small amount of chemical fertilizer. Pruning Thyme Bonsai can be pruned all year round. Too dense branches and too long branches should be cut off in time to avoid growing into unsatisfactory plant types. At the same time, it is beneficial to ensure the ventilation inside plants and reduce the threat of pests and diseases.
