There are many kinds of bamboos in bonsai, and not all bamboos are suitable for bonsai, so it is best to choose small bamboos with short stalks and slow growth, such as Buddha's belly bamboo, King Kong bamboo and Guanyin bamboo.

After selecting bamboo varieties, we should choose suitable bamboo for dwarfing. On the one hand, we should pay attention to the moisture control of bamboo to make bonsai, which can effectively delay its growth in the growing season. On the other hand, reducing fertilizer properly can effectively control the growth of bamboo. In the choice of fertilizers, compost and green manure are better, and chemical fertilizers are not used as much as possible. Pay attention to more sunshine to promote its lateral growth. After the root system is developed, you can start making bonsai.

Loose and fertile acid soil is the best soil for bamboo bonsai. Humus soil can be selected and mixed with sand and cake fertilizer to make culture soil.

The pot is placed in March-April or August-September, and the bottom of the pot can be covered with a layer of ceramsite, which is breathable and permeable. The soil in the basin is about 4 cm below the mouth of the basin, which provides convenience for burying bamboo shoots in the future. If the potted plants are kept in a place with scattered light, new branches and buds will sprout after one month, so they can be kept in a sunny place.

Bonsai pruning can prune bamboo from June to July, pruning leaves and branches that are too dense or affect the overall shape. For bonsai with special shape, side branches should be trimmed to facilitate the germination of new branches; New bamboo shoots should be pulled out in time.
