Cultivation methods and pruning of Yushu, Yushu is suitable for pots made of clay, because it is cheaper, more practical and cost-effective. Yushu looks good with clay pots, and brown clay pots are the best. Let's take a look at the cultivation methods and pruning of Yushu.
The cultivation method of Yushu 1 and the pruning cultivation of Yushu are really simple, and the methods are as follows.
1. It likes well-drained sand. In order to make Yushu thrive, you can also add some peat and humus to the sand. Then vermiculite is added to the soil to increase the water content. The mixing ratio of peat soil, humus soil, sandy soil and vermiculite is 3:3: 1.
2. During the growth of Yushu, water should be given every 2-3 days, but there should be no water. When planting outdoors, it is necessary to avoid rain erosion, so as to avoid water accumulation in the roots and easy to rot. Topdressing should be carried out in the growth period, and diluted liquid fertilizer is generally applied 2-3 times a month. In order to make Yushu plants full, the amount of fertilization should not be too large, otherwise it will cause puffy growth.
3. Spring and autumn are the suitable growth periods of Yushu, and the suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃. Shading should be done at high temperature in summer to avoid direct sunlight, and the growth will be slow when the temperature exceeds 38℃.
4. In order to increase the ornamental value of Yushu, plants should be pruned appropriately and pruned according to personal preference. Cut off too many branches when pruning, so that the leaves that look crowded should also be cut off. In addition, potted plants are rotated once a month to prevent unilateral growth.
Extension: Elm is a fleshy semi-shrub, belonging to Bermudagrass of Crassulaceae. The plant height can reach 3 meters. The stems are fleshy, stout, gray with dry skin, light in color, with many branches, and the branchlets are brownish green and deep. The leaves are fleshy, ovoid and grayish green. The flowering period is in late winter and early spring, and the tubular flowers are 2 cm in diameter and white or pale pink.
The propagation method of Yushu and pruning 2 Yushu in summer are relatively simple, because it is not dormant in summer, and we need to ensure three things: 1. Ensure sufficient light, 2. Ensure that there is no shortage of water, 3. Ensure fertilizer supply, and pay attention to ventilation, pruning and exposure at noon.
1. Ensure sufficient light.
Yushu is a light-loving plant. Although it is also a Sedum plant, it grows in summer, so it must be placed in a sunny place in summer. Only when there is enough light, the leaves will not grow in vain and will become thicker. If you grow well, photosynthesis will flourish.
2. Make sure there is no shortage of water
Yushu is relatively drought-resistant, and it will die if it is not watered for several months. However, in order to ensure its growth, water must be indispensable. As long as the soil in the basin is well ventilated and well ventilated, and the roots will not dry and rot when the soil is almost dry. In order to absorb nutrients and water and fertilizer to grow rapidly.
3. Ensure fertilizer supply
Yushu is barren-tolerant, but fertilizer is also the key to its rapid growth and prosperity. It is recommended to supplement it once a month and irrigate fertilizers and other elements with high nitrogen content. Most common flowers are 10, and the concentration is 1: 1000. Sprinkle some organic fertilizers on the soil surface, such as fermented sheep manure and your cow dung.
4. Preventive measures
Yushu has a thick root system, and it is most afraid of stagnant water and rotten roots. It must be well ventilated. Well-ventilated soil will soon dry out, so that roots and leaves will not rot. Pruning should also keep up, because some branches will grow very long because they grow fast, and according to the plant type, they must be cut short in time to promote the length of side branches.
Cut off the cross branches that are covered inside. In summer, the light is strong at noon. If the soil dries too fast and is exposed to the sun without water, it is easy to burn the leaves, and shade properly at noon. If you leave it in a place with poor light for a long time, don't directly expose it to the sun. Gradually increase it and let it adapt slowly, otherwise it will burn the leaves and the sunburn will be irreversible.
Many people are raising Yushu. If you want to grow up quickly and grow into a strong tree, these things must be done well. Remember that it doesn't sleep in summer, and it will sleep and not grow when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees.

An excellent bonsai needs long-term pruning and shaping. Some gardeners spend 7-8 years just to make it look more like their own, but that's enough!
Just like the following works, let us see the change of an annual ring and the growth of life!
Which one do you like?
Pruning plants should be combined with the morphological characteristics of plant growth in order to better express the characteristics of plants. Can Yushu be pruned? The answer is yes! Yushu shoots quickly after pruning, so it should be pruned reasonably.
After cutting for two months, the experienced bonsai players will put copper wire and aluminum wire on the branches of Yushu.
But many basin friends are unwilling to do so, thinking it is too bad for Yushu! Well, be natural and have no style.
Then let's start pruning. Now is the season for Yushu to grow, and new buds will soon grow after pruning!
The old pile of paper shown below.
This is mainly because the root system is more troublesome to handle. Of course, if there are not many roots, there is no need to deal with them.
Don't water for two days before pruning!
Pot soil should not be too wet, otherwise it will rot easily. Yushu is slightly drought-tolerant, but not waterlogged, which we should still know.
After pruning the root system, don't water it immediately, wait until its wound heals (scabs), just like most succulents.
Yushu generally grows very fast and its shape is difficult to control. Therefore, it is necessary to control its fertilizer and water, especially in the spring growth season. Don't let its leaves grow, but also shoot according to the length of the branches, leaving 5-6 leaves as well. Then, train them purposefully according to their favorite shapes.
This model is also a kind of cutting. In order to shape it, it is hard to trim it every two years, but it is worthwhile to make it grow into what you want.
Of course, it is also possible to combine Pinza and pruning for modeling. Yushu, which is now used as a bonsai, is mostly cut, so it has good plasticity and is suitable for small and medium-sized bonsai.
Yushu has sparse branches and leaves, soft and tough stems, round and green leaves and sparse branches. It's best to be a vigorous tree, thin and oblique in shape. Of course, it can't be trimmed as lush as banyan bonsai.
Mainly tied flat, supplemented by pruning; By cutting and reasonably leaving branches, the skeleton of the tree is cultivated, and then the branches and leaves are bent and tied tightly with flat strips, and the shape of the bonsai is completed.
When placing pots, we should first use materials, carry out shaping and pruning, and keep the branches and necessary bud eyes needed for modeling. At the same time, it is necessary to determine the planting mode in the basin (direct planting, oblique planting or oblique planting, and root lifting treatment) according to the modeling needs, and then plant in the maintenance basin.
After a period of cultivation, it entered the stage of binding. Aluminum wire is more suitable for coiling. In the growing season, as long as the branch thickness reaches 0.5 cm.
Water should be controlled before binding, and the leaves should be as dry as possible without wilting, so as to increase the flexibility of branches and reduce brittleness.
Winding should be carried out at a 45-degree angle close to the bark, and branches and leaves should not be damaged. After the wire is wound, bend the branches with both hands and twist them gently along the winding direction to meet the modeling requirements.
For example, the traditional cloud shape should be made long where it needs to be preserved, sharpened when it reaches a satisfactory length, and controlled to extend outward. When the shape is well controlled, it should be picked frequently (recyclable: picking), and the plant should not be allowed to continue to expand.
