I saw a flower friend in the background before, who liked pyracantha, but the modeling time was too long. What should I do? It will take several years to create the beautiful pyracantha shape we saw at the flower market, but it is not necessary. As long as you learn these tricks, you are afraid of ugly fire thorns.
The first trick: planting
Let the pyracantha survive first, the plants will grow better, the branches will be more vigorous, and there will be more room for pruning.
First of all, let's learn about the growth habits of pyracantha. In fact, pyracantha is particular about the use of pots. Its branches grow with a sense of vicissitudes and will bear red fruits. Generally, planting white, light green, light yellow and other light-colored flowerpots can better reflect its aesthetic feeling.
After all, it is a plant that has been growing for many years, and its vitality will not be too weak, and the germination ability of its branches will be much stronger. That is, when new leaves grow every year, the old leaves will naturally fall off. This is a normal phenomenon, but in order to avoid this situation, we need to change the environmental conditions and don't put pyracantha in a low-temperature and dry place.
The second trick: plastic
The so-called plastic surgery is the design of modeling, in the final analysis, it is pruning, which may be difficult for beginners, but in fact, as long as you dare to start work, you will make great progress and quickly master the rules.
Generally speaking, the pruning of pyracantha is distinguished according to the number of years. The first year or two is mainly tied, and the back is mainly trimmed. At the initial stage of modeling, the branches may make a "crunching" sound, which has little effect, and the plasticity of their branches is still relatively good. The branches and leaves that grew in that year are not pruned. Well-grown branches can be bent according to the requirements of modeling. When pruning in the second year, pruning should be carried out according to the shape of branches. If it is necessary to improve the curvature of branches, they should not be trimmed first until the shape is stable.
Pruning of new branches should be comprehensive, avoiding one-sided pruning, and pruning of branches should be even to achieve a certain thinning effect, thus reducing the threat of pests and diseases.
The third measure: raising
In the process of modeling, the maintenance of pyracantha is also very important. After all, a good pyracantha shape will add more points. Whether the pyracantha bonsai can be raised well is directly affected by the length of light. It is a plant that likes sunshine, so it should be managed in sunny places, especially in autumn, which is an important stage of flower bud germination.
The consumption of nutrients will be accelerated if the flowering amount is large and the fruiting time is long. Therefore, from the beginning of spring, we need to make a plan for topdressing, preferably once every ten days, to ensure that the plants are evenly supplied with fertilizer and make their growth relatively stable.
Xiaohua thinks that the production of bonsai needs a long-term accumulation process, so it is necessary to know more about the modeling cases of bonsai from the beginning. Trim it a few more times and you'll understand. Don't be too hasty If you encounter other questions you don't understand, please leave a message below as usual.
