Ishizuki Bonsai, or rock-attached bonsai, is a type of bonsai that recreates the scenery of trees growing on rocks or stones. This kind of landscape is harsh and dramatic. The best time to create an Ishizuki Bonsai is similar to the best time for repotting, which is when you see signs of new buds sprouting in spring.
Here's how to create an Ishizuki Bonsai:
1. First, find a suitable stone. The stone should have small cracks or holes where roots can wrap around or grow, ensuring space for growth.
2. Next, prepare the tree(s) to plant. You can use multiple trees. Conifers are preferred, but deciduous trees like maple can also be used.
3. The tree to be used should be healthy and have long roots.
4. Prepare a soil mixture of Akadama and Keto soil to prevent soil from washing away during watering.
Ishizuki Bonsai represents trees growing on rocky surfaces in nature.
