1. Methods Thickening banyan stems: organic soil.
Fig is a plant that many people like to cultivate. If there are twigs in the cultivation process, it will affect its ornamental effect. Then it is best to thicken the branches of Ficus microcarpa. First, it is best to ensure adequate nutrition in the substrate. It is best to choose soil rich in organic matter as the cultivation substrate, which can be mixed with decomposed soil, humus soil and pond mud in a ratio of 3:2:2, and then add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer solution.
2, sufficient light Because banyan trees are sensitive to light and like to grow in sunny environments, it is best to ensure 6 to 7 hours of light every day. In summer, direct sunlight should be avoided, and shading treatment can be carried out appropriately. In winter, we should increase the light, usually in sunny places indoors.
Step 3 get plenty of water
Figs have a high demand for water. If you water too little, it will lead to poor plant growth and slender branches. It can be watered once every 1 ~ 2 days to keep the soil moist, and then spray water mist on the leaves regularly in high temperature season. The water quality is best in rain or river water.
4. Controlled fertilization When the branches of banyan trees become very thin, the biggest reason is that there are too few nutrients in the plants, which leads to poor growth. It is best to apply liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer solution every 1 ~ 2 weeks in the growing season, and no fertilization is needed in autumn and winter. After new leaves grow, nitrogen fertilizer solution should be added every 10 days to ensure sufficient nutrients.
5. Topping and bud separation Usually, Ficus virens plants are very weak during growth. It is best to carry out topping and bud separation in time, mainly by pinching off the buds at the top of strong branches, then combing and pruning the branches that are too dense to ensure the balanced growth of plants, and then loosening the soil in time.
6. Dressing and shaping
Reasonable pruning treatment can promote the growth and development of Ficus virens. If you want the branches to be thicker, you'd better trim them irregularly. When the growth is vigorous, all the branches with dense growth, dead branches, pests and diseases should be cut off, and then the branches for many years should be shortened to avoid the consumption of nutrients.
