The shapes of Podocarpus include the following types: one cliff type; two large cliff types; three and a half cliff types; four inclined trunk lines; five curved trunk types; Liuhe planting type, etc. In the process of modeling, artistic processing must be carried out based on the natural beauty of the seedlings. That is to say, it must be adapted to the physical conditions, adding beauty to beauty, so that the shape is strong and powerful, and the layers are clear. Iron wire, copper wire, and plastic tape can be used for modeling. During the bathing process, iron wire can be selected according to the thickness of the branches. Thick branches are more difficult to shape. You can use thicker iron wire to lean against the branches and tie the wire and branches together with plastic tape. , and then use hands to bend the tied branches according to human will. Untie the wire after about half a year or one year. At this time, the branches will be finalized after a year of growth. No matter how difficult the branch is, you can perform an incision. Use a knife to cut a small incision at the main point to be bent, so that the branch can be bent down. After bending, the wound must be wrapped with fresh moss or sterile soil to allow the wound to heal. After the entire stump has grown for many years, the roots can be lifted when repotting. Operation method: Turn the tree stump to be repotted out of the pot. When replacing it with a new pot, lift up the tree pocket and fill it with more organic culture soil. When the tree stump returns to normal growth, rinse away the soil on the tree pocket and the pot surface with water. This way the roots are exposed. After several years of growth, the tree roots exposed on the pot surface undergo photosynthesis, and the sun and night dew all form a vigorous and elegant posture, making the entire tree stump appear vigorous and powerful. In the future, only during the period of vigorous growth in spring and autumn, reasonable bud picking and pruning can be carried out to promote the growth of thick, long and dense branches and leaves.
Podocarpus has great plasticity and can be processed into a variety of tree shapes, such as curved trunk type, slanting trunk type, horizontal trunk type, cliff type and root-lifting type. The branches and leaves can be made into cloud shape by pruning and pruning. Or steamed bun style, with ancient and elegant posture.
