1, coring
Tapping can control the height of plants. Generally, in the development season, the daily ratio and the length of new shoots are about 10 cm, which will continue in real time after lignification. In the development season of Podocarpus, after repeated denucleation, 3-5 buds can germinate on the branches of Podocarpus. After growing up, Podocarpus bonsai can flourish and its leaves are bright green.
2, refinement
Thinning of Podocarpus can cut off branches from the base, which can make the stump ventilated and transparent and grow vigorously. When thinning, cut off the branches of pests and diseases and burn them immediately to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
When two parallel branches are very close, one of them should be cut off. The long branches, upright branches, drooping branches and anti-branches on the main branches should be cut off. Branches and cross branches should be cut off one by one. Branches that germinate on trees with strong germination ability can be cut off and slowly induced to make up branches, except one branch left in the missing part.
3. Short scissors
The chopped Podocarpus is a long branch, which stimulates the axillary buds under the incision to germinate and form strong lateral branches, thus promoting its branching. After thinning the redundant branches in plastic surgery, the remaining plastic branches should be cut short to make them sprout 2 ~ 3 times a year.
Once sprouted and chopped, the number of branches of modeling branches will increase rapidly, and the order of each branch will be shortened without lengthening the branches. This can control the growth, keep short and effective measures and facilitate the purpose of modeling.
4. Shrinkage and shearing
Pruning of arhat branches refers to the pruning of perennial branches, which is a powerful measure to shrink branches of big trees, and also a modeling purpose to promote the germination of new branches and restore tree vigor. For those Podocarpus bonsai with large crown and long main branches, it is impossible to meet the modeling requirements by thinning and cutting.
You can shrink and cut the big tree to make it smaller, which is beneficial to the modeling of bonsai. When plants have strong germination ability, the cutting amount is large, so it is necessary to trim the branches and leaves, keep the skeleton and stimulate the germination of new branches under the cutting mouth.
