Because of its amazing growth rate, if it is not pruned, it is very easy to cause uneven proportion of tree types and affect the view of potted plants. Timely pruning can not only stimulate its germination and growth, but also change its shape. It is a good material for potted beginners. Let's introduce the pruning method of fortune tree. Pruning of fortune tree
Pruned fortune tree
1. Pruning time: the pruning time is generally carried out in spring, and it is suitable for pruning between April and may. In the first ten days of May, the plant will sprout. At this time, when the body fluid of the plant is strong, the sprouting force is strong. After pruning, the number of new branches sprouting is large and the branches are growing healthily.
2. Before pruning: about one month before pruning, put the plants in their preferred environment, maintain and manage them, and apply 1-2 times of nitrogen fertilizer or compound fertilizer based on nitrogen, so that there will be more nutrients stored in the plant. Fortune tree is less than 30cm, so we should only let it grow high, wipe off the lateral buds, and pinch the top of the tree when the height is enough.
3. Pruning method: don't apply anything to prune branches, because Facai tree is not easy to be infected. When pruning, cut as short as possible, and each branch should be cut short. Only 2-3 bud holes can be left on each branch. It can also be flexibly controlled according to the tree shape. It is appropriate to leave about 10 cm. All the other upper branches should be cut off. Pay attention to all the branches on the whole plant. If the branches are too weak, they should be cut from the base. Because of their weak germination ability, they also compete with other strong branches for nutrients, so they can not be retained. After pruning, the pruned branches should not be exposed to rain or water spray to prevent rot. the pruned branches should be placed in a place with bright light or under the shade, and the watering should be controlled, because there is no transpiration of leaves on the whole plant, so there is less need for water. If too much watering will rot the root system, leading to failure of pruning and rejuvenation. The compound fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times before germination, such as 20-10-10 compound fertilizer. And during this period, the fungicide should be irrigated once to prevent root rot. for example, 800-1000 times liquid of 50% carbendazim wettable powder can make small branches grow to about 5cm after one month, and they can be viewed in two months.
Indoor potted Facai tree modeling 1. Single plant planting: suitable for the plant with thick stem, its stem can be truncated as the base, so that it can send out many twigs from the top of the base, becoming a miniature of a pot like a big tree.
2. Braid type: 2-3 stems of growing process are intertwined with iron wire to form braid like shape.
3. Cluster type: gather several small stems of Malaba chestnut and plant them into clusters to win by quantity.
4. Unique shape: the growing process with iron wire to shape it into a personal favorite shape.
