Trunk modeling: the branches of Podocarpus are fixed with iron wire, bent and inclined, and the shape of the branches is maintained after bending. Straight stem modeling: cut off less than one third of the verticillate branches and backbone branches, leaving one branch on each floor. Trunk modeling: the wire is fixed close to the trunk, and then the trunk is bent, and the plant height is controlled at 2 meters.

How does Luo do modeling 1 and backbone modeling?

If you want to shape Luohansong into a spine shape, you must use tools such as iron wires and screws to deal with it. First, tie the iron wire from the root of the branch along the growth direction, then bend, tilt and twist the branch, and use the power of the iron wire to keep the shape of the modeled branch.

2, straight dry modeling

In the process of straight stem modeling, it is necessary to prune Podocarpus, cut off the verticillate branches and branches less than one-third of the main branches with sterilized sharp scissors, keep one branch on each layer, then leave the first branch on the main stem long, and finally cut the whole modeling into an oval shape.

3. Trunk modeling

If you want to bend the trunk of Podocarpus, you should fix the iron wire near the trunk, and then bend the trunk continuously to keep it growing in a curved state. The height of Podocarpus should be controlled between 1.5 ~ 2 meters, and it should not be too high, otherwise it will lead to the reduction of the aesthetic appearance.
