The shapes of Podocarpus include the following types: cliff type, large cliff type, semi-cliff type, diagonal trunk type, and curved trunk type.
Styling methods:
1. Cut: After the above-mentioned styling techniques, it is necessary to trim without exception to make the shape more rounded and full. Pruning needs to be combined with the season, water and fertilizer management, cutting off overly long branches, protruding branches, and promoting more branches. Satisfactory results can be achieved only after repeated pruning.
2. Hanging: Hang heavy objects such as bricks to make the branches droop and create a bevel effect.
3. Bundling: Use bamboo poles, aluminum wires, twine and other materials to create various complex shapes, including pavilions, animals and other shapes.
Notes on the shape of Podocarpus:
1. During the growth period of Podocarpus, attention should be paid to pruning and topping of the formed plants to prevent the branches and leaves from becoming too long and to keep the Podocarpus beautiful. posture. When repotting, be careful to cut off excess roots and rotten fibrous roots, as well as overly dense and leggy branches.
2. Podocarpus is more resistant to drought, so when watering during the growing season, the principle of preferring dryness to wetness should be followed, and the pot soil should be kept dry and wet. If you water too much, the pot soil will become waterlogged for a long time, which will cause root rot and yellow leaves. In severe cases, a large number of leaves will fall off, and the plant will die. Water evaporates quickly during the high temperature season in summer, so watering should be sufficient. If the pot soil is too dry, the leaves will easily wither and scorch, which will also affect the viewing.
