A, climbing and tying modeling

Climbing and tying is the most commonly used way, pruning as a supplement. It is recommended to use wire operation, because their branches are relatively soft, after selecting a suitable plant, you can bend the main branch trunk, remove the excess branches, the remaining branches and the ground into a horizontal state or slightly drooping, to be planted after the growth of mature and then re-climbing shaping, and so on and so forth, a few years can be molded.

If your plant is wild, it will need to be cultivated for some time before it can be climbed, usually a year. Because it is wild, do not intervene too much when climbing and tying in order to keep it growing in its natural conditions.

Second, daily and growing period of pruning

This plant has a variety of tree shape, can be made into a very variety of forms, each with its own characteristics. In order to maintain its own strong, simple image, we should often prune to maintain its posture. The main purpose is to improve the light and ventilation of the plant, and to cut off the redundant and overly dense branches. Especially during the growing period of the plant, it is necessary to cut off the excess branches and leaves at any time to maintain their proportionate posture.

It is also important to note that we also need to change the pot in the spring every three years to ensure that they grow more vigorously and vigorous.
