Euonymus microphylla germinates faster. Generally, 1-2 nodes at the tip need to be cut off after new shoots are sprouted to prevent branches from growing in vain. In the process of its growth, it is often necessary to cut off those redundant branches, overgrown branches, overlapping branches, dead branches and diseased branches that will affect the beauty of the tree. In addition, the fruit should be picked in time to avoid the influence on the growth of the tree potential due to the consumption and loss of nutrients.

Before modeling, the trunk of Buxus microphylla can be truncated to promote the emergence of new skills around or below its section, and then the branches can be climbed and tied according to personal preferences and artistic modeling requirements. If it is in spring, it is suitable to use brown silk to climb and tie, or it can be roughly tied and finely cut to make it into a cloud sheet or steamed bread shape, or processed into a natural tree shape. The trunk can be processed into many forms, such as inclined dry type, dry type, curved dry type, etc., and the roots are gradually raised according to the needs, so that it can achieve the excellent effect of hanging roots and exposing claws.

Tips Before planting, trim its roots a little, and cut off the bad, insect and cracked roots. Buxus microphylla is a highly pruning-resistant shrub, and its branches are easy to sprout after pruning, so it can be pruned many times according to the needs of the landscape to maintain a certain shape.
Buxus microphylla likes light and fat, and can grow normally in sunny and semi-cloudy environments. Because of the cold winter in some areas and the large temperature difference between day and night, it is necessary to take protective measures for 2-year-old Buxus microphylla before wintering.
