Dragon blood tree, I believe many basin friends have heard of it, right? But you know it has another name-Bulaosong. Dracaena is an evergreen plant, which was introduced in the last article. As long as it is placed in the right place, it will help to improve Feng Shui, purify the air and beautify the home environment. In other words, in addition to the feng shui function, the dragon blood tree has a very high ornamental value. Bian Xiao introduced its geomantic uses in his last article, so I won't go into details here. Today, Bian Xiao will talk about how to improve its appreciation.

To improve the ornamental value of potted Dracaena, it is of course necessary to shape the plant shape, and pruning and shaping is one of the most important means to shape the potted Dracaena. For the pruning and shaping of potted Dracaena, the following two methods are usually used:

1. Trim the shape of the plant into a T shape.

T-shape is to keep the leaves at the top of the trunk, cut off all the leaves below, and show the shape of the plant in the form of the letter T, so it is called T-shape.

In order to achieve the T-shaped display effect, the leaves under the trunk can be removed first to make the trunk of the plant empty. Then cut it flat on the top of the plant near the top, keep the lateral branches and newly germinated branches and leaves at the top of the trunk, and remove the newly germinated lateral buds below the top. After several constructions, a T-shaped display can be formed.

2. Shortcut branch storage modeling method

This method is more suitable for the tree species with slender branches and leaves, such as Dracaena, because the branches and leaves of this tree species are too slender, but very soft, and the leaves droop to the bottom, giving people a feeling of suppleness downward, which is naturally not suitable for T-shaped modeling. However, we can use the method of cutting short and storing branches to model.

Short-branch storage of Dracaena Dracaena refers to keeping 2-3 complete lateral buds in the proper position of the plant for cultivation. Of course, you can't choose side buds with the same height, and you should keep a certain distance between the side buds, that is, you should reach different heights. In addition, we should pay attention to the supply of water and fertilizer at ordinary times. After several treatments, plants can form rich, round, patchwork and layered shapes.
