Golden branches and jade leaves are a kind of flowers that grow very fast and are particularly resistant to pruning. Therefore, in the actual cultivation, under the condition of suitable light and sufficient fertilizer and water, the plants grow and shape relatively quickly, and usually they will grow from seedlings to adult plants in 2013.
The pruning method of young seedlings of golden branches and jade leaves mainly takes into account the needs of plant modeling to prune or retain branches. Under normal circumstances, when the branches of the plant grow to about 3cm, they should be topped, and the bud points of five to eight leaves should be reserved, so that more lateral branches can germinate, and the crown leaves of the plant will be more dense and full. This pruning method can only be done after the plant has determined a certain embryonic form.
Some small seedlings of one to two years old must be pruned reasonably according to their growth and the form of bonsai to be made. Long branches that need to be preserved should be allowed to grow freely first, and then topped when the branches are long enough, and some small side branches that don't need to be preserved should be cut off in advance.
Avoid competing for nutrients with the branches to be preserved, which will affect the growth rate of the branches to be preserved. Pruning the plants with golden branches and jade leaves is mainly to cut off useless branches that are too dense, and to top the remaining branches. In addition, you can also take the way of pulling to shape. Generally, other modeling methods and measures are not adopted in the modeling process.
After pruning, pay attention to topdressing the seedlings with water-soluble fertilizer of Woye to supplement the lost nutrition.
