China Box is a good plant for any style of Bonsai. Long Back I bought a stone from a nursey. Select a plant which is having attractive trunk line.
Plant is already having a good trunk line, nice branching. Thought of enhancing the beauty of the plant with placing a behind the plant.
Started searching a suitable rock . The structure of sand stone is matching with trunk line maturity.
Merging the rock and plant is a job of lots of creativity because the trunk and roots should be completely merged with rock .
The roots are well developed and radiating in all directions giving a matured look to the plant.
Now we have to see the placement and position of the plant with the Rock. Check all sides of the rock and select one side that will be the front side and suitable for placing the plant. Now if we place plant as it is the plant and stone match with each other because the roots are covered with lots of soil. Some of the soil to be removed.
Half of the soil is removed from down . So height of the plant is reduced to suit with the rock
Now soil from back of the plant is also reduced
Some of the Soil from back side of the Plant is also reduced and placed near rock .
Merge the plant with rock , by removing back soil plant bought near the rock , so the trunk line of the plant perfectly fits with the groves of the rock.
pot is fitted with new soil
some wiring is done to give a shape to the plant
