寿命数据稀少

体型

藤蔓长5~10米（盆栽中通过修剪保持较小）

浇水

肥料（4~10月每月一次）

日照和放置位置

放置在阳光充足、通风良好的地方。据说皱纹葛夏季无需遮阴

浇水

幼木期间充分浇水。树形成形后，减少浇水可使叶片变小且紧凑

温度和越冬

作为一个物种，该植物耐寒，但有些说法认为皱纹葛不耐寒。冬季应放在地窖或室内，避免直接接触暖气

土壤和翻盆

5月上旬至中旬进行，幼木每年一次，成木每两年一次。使用赤玉土8份加桐生砂2份的配土

肥料

4~10月每月一次施用油粕等有机肥料，以保持叶片光泽

修剪和造型

树形成形的植株在5月中旬修剪新芽和前年枝条，保留1~2个节点，之后将长出的枝条在约2个节点处修剪，重复此操作至8月左右。6~7月进行绑扎，粗枝难以造型

病虫害和注意事项

植株健壮，虫害较少，但新芽可能出现蚜虫。切口渗出的白色汁液有毒，可能引起皮肤过敏，因此需戴手套

关于络石

Asiatic jasmine is an evergreen vine with fragrant white summer flowers. Bonsai growers favor small-leaved forms prized for red new growth and winter color, and pruning keeps it compact — an easy choice for beginners.

开始养护络石前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Sun and Airflow

   Grow it outdoors in a sunny, well-ventilated spot; good air circulation also helps keep pests and disease down. Chirimen-kazura, the form most often used for bonsai, is said not to need summer shading.

2. 2Watering Basics

   Water thoroughly once the soil surface dries out. Because the dense, vining foliage draws a fair amount of moisture, keep an eye out during dry spells so the plant doesn't dry out completely. In winter, growth slows, so watering can be reduced.

3. 3Well-Draining Soil

   Asiatic jasmine dislikes waterlogged roots, so a well-draining soil mix is essential. A standard bonsai soil blended with akadama and pumice improves aeration. If the mix becomes compacted over time, it can restrict root growth, so it's worth reviewing periodically.

4. 4Repotting

   Repot in early to mid-May: every year for young plants and every other year for mature ones. A mix of about eight parts akadama to two parts Kiryu sand is commonly used. Lightly tidying the roots at repotting helps keep growth steady afterward.

5. 5Pruning to Shape

   Because the vine grows long, regular pruning is essential to keep a bonsai in shape. On established trees, cut new shoots and the previous year's growth back to one or two nodes in mid-May, then keep trimming later growth back to about two nodes until around August. Repeated pruning encourages branching and gives the tree a more mature bonsai character.

6. 6Early-Summer Blooms

   In early summer, Asiatic jasmine produces distinctive twisted white flowers with a strong, sweet fragrance that can fill the surrounding air. The spent flowers drop naturally afterward, though they can be picked off by hand if their appearance is a concern.

7. 7Choosing a Plant

   For bonsai, small-leaved cultivars such as "Chirimen-kazura," with their crinkled foliage, are especially popular. Look for a plant with dense branching and leaves free of damage or discoloration, since that tends to be easier to manage. Because the color of new growth and winter foliage varies from plant to plant, it's worth observing a few specimens closely before choosing.

络石的常见问题

Q.Is Asiatic jasmine a good choice for beginners?

A.Yes, it's generally considered a hardy, beginner-friendly plant. With good sunlight, well-draining soil, and routine watering and pruning, it can be grown without much difficulty.

Q.Which cultivar should I choose for bonsai?

A.Small-leaved cultivars such as "Chirimen-kazura," known for their crinkled foliage, are especially favored for bonsai. Look for a plant with dense branching and healthy-looking leaves, as it will be easier to manage.

Q.What should I do if the vine grows too long?

A.The vine naturally grows long, so trim overly long growth regularly. On established trees, cutting new growth back to about two nodes from mid-May until around August keeps the shape compact.

Q.What does the fragrance smell like?

A.The twisted white flowers that bloom in early summer give off a strong, sweet fragrance. During the flowering period, the scent can spread through the surrounding area.

Q.Is there anything special to watch for in winter?

A.Although it's evergreen, growth slows in winter, so watering should be reduced. It's also a season when you can enjoy the reddish coloring of the winter foliage.
