How to keep the bonsai maple from growing tall

1. Inhibit the growth of other branches and buds and promote the growth of branches that need to grow thick as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the closer the seedling is to the crown, the stronger the tree vitality is, and the growth is faster than that of other branches. if the growth of the upper branches is not properly restrained, the branches below will not grow smoothly and form unsatisfactorily. When the seedlings grow in line with the pruning shape, the top branches should be trimmed, topped, and coring, so that the growth of the upper branches can be inhibited, and the tree potential nutrients will be concentrated to the uninjured branches below to thicken their growth. For this reason, according to the modeling design, the long and thick branches (generally the first and second branches of the lower part) are not pruned, topped, heart-picked and leaves-picked, so that the growth advantage can be obtained and the growth will be thickened rapidly. If the tree is pruned at the same time, the sprouting power of the whole tree is still at the top, the lower branches grow more slowly, it is difficult to grow thick, and the seedlings will not take shape until several years later. Generally speaking, it is better to start pruning only after the growth of the rearview is proportional to the second place.

2. After the seedlings are pruned, turn the pot so that the branches that need to grow and thick face south, so that the branches are exposed to more sunlight and can grow as fast as possible.

3. When the long and thick branches grow to the point of binding, bending and modeling, the tip of the branches should be paid attention to so that they can recover as soon as possible and continue to grow thicker and thicker. If the tip of the branch is facing down, the nutrient loss of the branch is weakened and the growth is slow, and it will take some time when the tip of the branch is raised naturally. Because at this time, the growth advantage is concentrated in the upper top.

4. For the branches that need to grow thick, the lateral roots directly below them should grow downward, which can strengthen the vitality of this part and promote the growth of the branches above.

5. In sunny days, it is especially necessary to spray water on the branches that need to grow and thick, and fertilize outside the roots. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening the management of water, fertilizer, diseases and insect pests of seedlings, promoting the flourishing of branches and leaves, and accelerating the growth and formation of seedlings.
