Thus, the trunk of the Podocarpus seedlings is pressed down to form a curved state. /kloc-After 0/month, lateral buds will sprout from the curved trunk, and the shape of the trunk will be fixed in about 2-3 months, and then we will remove the aluminum wire. In this way, the seedlings of Podocarpus are basically shaped. Of course, if its main branches are still growing wildly, we can cut off the top.
We can also cut short the long and dense branches that germinate and grow upwards. But when cutting short, it is best to choose strong new shoots and then cut off branches from their upper parts. In this way, robust new buds can get more nutrition and have better germination and growth effects. Under the condition of sufficient light, water and fertilizer, the seedlings of Podocarpus will keep healthy growth and gradually form old piles. Short branches can also be replanted to breed Podocarpus seedlings.

After entering the spring, as the climate and environment become more suitable, Podocarpus will sprout and grow rapidly, and we can raise seedlings in this season. However, if it is a big seedling, it is generally only suitable for cutting off bad branches, improving the ventilation and transparency of bonsai, saving nutrients and making nutrition more concentrated, thus better promoting its growth. If you want to shape it, you need to shape it during Xia Dong's dormancy.
Spring is very suitable for the growth of seedlings of Podocarpus. Because of its vigorous growth, it is necessary to control the plant type in time. Generally, aluminum wire is used to fix the shape. Because the wood of Podocarpus is hard and the branches are tough, it is generally not easy to shape the old piles after forming, so it is better to shape them from small seedlings.
