Cut off branches that don't need fat, overlapping branches, dead branches and diseased branches, and cut off long branches at any time. In order to promote the flat growth of lateral buds, the buds should be cut off; Pick buds at any time to avoid sprouting too many cuttings; Proper pruning of newly grown leaves will help new leaves germinate many times.
1. How often do you trim it?
The pruning of banyan trees, more figuratively speaking, should be based on pruning, supplemented by bundling, and it is best to prune once a year.
The germination ability of banyan trees is enhanced, which can be pruned all year round, but early spring is generally the best. Cut off unnecessary branches, overlapping branches, dead branches and diseased branches.
At ordinary times, you can cut off long branches at any time to ensure the beautiful tree shape. For vigorous branches, it can be cut 1~2 times a year, repeatedly, and properly topdressing with Woye water-soluble fertilizer. Within four years, the beautiful banyan bonsai will appear.
Second, the pruning method
Pruning is mainly divided into the following five parts:
1. Picking: This is a method to inhibit the growth of banyan, promote the flat growth of lateral buds, and cut off tender branches.
② Bud picking: During the growth of banyan bonsai, many adventitious buds will grow on the branches. Buds should be picked at any time to avoid too many cuttings and affect the appearance.
(3) Leaf picking: The ornamental period of banyan trees is often the germination period of new leaves. Proper pruning of newly grown new leaves will help the new leaves germinate many times, make the leaves bright and pleasing to the eye, and improve the ornamental effect.
④ Pruning: banyan bonsai often grows many new branches, and the pruning method should be decided according to the tree shape and its own aesthetics. If you think the growth of this branch hinders the overall shape, you can cut it off.
⑤ Root cutting: Root cutting should be done in time when turning the basin. If the root system is too long or too dense, it should be trimmed. If the root system does not cover the bottom of the basin, you can choose the original basin without pruning; The root system is full, so it is necessary to change a bigger pot, and trim the dense root system, remove the old roots, keep a few new roots and replant.
