Chimonanthus praecox, hibiscus, Chinese rose, cinnamon, Milan and Michelia are all shrub flowers. They are characterized by weak rhizosphere germination rate and clustered branches concentrated in the root neck. We can use this feature to make them into small trees, thus improving their ornamental value.

In spring, we should first remove the redundant branches and keep only one main branch, so that the axillary buds on the main branch and the adventitious buds on the root neck can grow many side branches. At this time, only four lateral branches at the top of the main branch are kept, and all the lower lateral branches are cut off, and then secondary lateral branches can grow on these four lateral branches. Then some side branches will sprout at the main branch and the base of the main branch, which should be cut off in time. In this way, a shrub is changed into the shape of a small tree, and the flower branches are pulled out from the side branches.

Beat binding Beat binding modeling is suitable for potted flowers with soft branches that cannot stand upright, such as Tanchun, Yingchun, Ivy, Guanglingxiao and Xianrenzhi. Each tree can only keep 1 main branch, and at the same time keep the trunk with the length of 10 cm. After the lateral branches germinate, they are evenly drawn or tied to the beat. For succulent plants such as fairy fingers, it is necessary to help the knotted succulent stems droop naturally after crossing the beat.

When shooting, one side branch should be left on the main branch every 6 ~ 10 cm, and the redundant side buds should be removed as soon as possible. Too many and too dense lateral branches will interweave with each other and lose their layers. When pulling, they should try to be sparse and dense. After the plants grow on the beat for many years, the branches will become thicker year by year, although they will become thinner year by year. When the bracket can't bear it, it is necessary to change the basin, change the soil and re-bind it with a larger bracket.

Pinch bend In order to inhibit the growth of flowers and make them grow into small and exquisite plant shapes, their trunks can be pinched into "S" bends when they are young, such as peaches, Guanglingxiao, plum blossoms and bougainvillea. When bending the trunk, insert a thick stick in the pot soil, then twist the branches and tie them to the stick in sections. For their side branches and the side branches of poinsettia, bend them by pulling ropes. Stop watering from the day before bending, and wait until the branches become soft before watering to facilitate bending. If you catch a branch when you bend, you can wrap the broken parts with plastic strips and let them heal slowly.
