Bonsai is a very popular decorative item, which not only allows people to enjoy the beauty of nature, but also increases the atmosphere of the room and the interest of life. However, sometimes we may find that we don't have a suitable pot to make bonsai, at this time, we can try to use a notched bowl to make bonsai.
First of all, we need to prepare some materials. Besides the notched bowl, we also need some small stones, soil, small plants and some small tools such as shovel and scissors. Then, we can start making the bonsai.
The first step is to prepare the notched bowl. If the gap is bigger, we can fill it with some soil or small stones. If the gap is smaller, we can put the soil directly on the gap. In this way, we can avoid the soil from leaking out from the gap.
The second step is to put the clay into the bowl. We can choose some suitable soil, such as humus or special soil for succulents. Then, we can use a spatula to spread the soil evenly in the bowl.
The third step is to choose plants. We can choose some small plants, such as cactus or succulents. These plants are not only easy to care for, but also can fit well into the size of the notched bowl, of course, you can choose other plants on your own if you want, as long as you are sure that you can take good care of them.
The fourth step is to place the plant into the bowl. We can use scissors to trim the roots of the plant and place them in the soil. We need to make sure that the roots of the plant can be firmly fixed in the soil so that the plant can grow and develop.
The fifth step is to place small stones on the surface of the bowl. This will not only add to the beauty of the bowl, but also maintain the humidity and temperature of the soil, which will help the plant grow and develop.
Finally, we need to water and fertilize the plants on a regular basis so as to ensure their growth and development. At the same time, we also need to be careful to avoid too much water in the bowl, otherwise it may cause the roots of the plants to rot.
All in all, making bonsai with a notched bowl is a very interesting attempt. It not only allows us to appreciate the beauty of nature, but also increases the interest and fun of life. If you also want to try it, why don't you try it with your hands！
