The post-processing of Penglai pine is mainly based on climbing and binding, and metal wire is selected. Select some young saplings, about 2-3-year-old saplings, and bend the dry branches of the seedlings, trim the side branches, and climb them on the Penglai pine, showing a horizontal or downward state. After a year of growth, the wire is removed and adjusted, and then climbing again, it will be finalized in a few years.

It is recommended to use wire operation, because their branches are relatively soft, after selecting a suitable plant, you can slightly bend the main branch, remove the excess branches, and make the remaining branches horizontal with the ground or droop slightly. Wait for the plant to grow and mature before re-climbing and shaping, so that it can be formed after a few years. Don't intervene too much when climbing.

Daily and growing pruning

In order to maintain its vigorous and simple image, we should always trim it to maintain its posture.

The main purpose is to improve the light transmittance and ventilation of the plant itself, and cut off the redundant and over-dense branches. Especially during the growing period of plants, extra branches and leaves need to be cut off at any time to maintain their symmetrical posture.

Daily maintenance methods of Penglai pine

1. Temperature

Penglai pine can grow at a temperature of more than 15 ℃, so it should not be too low in winter, otherwise it will stop growing, and the suitable temperature for growth is between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃.

Penglai pine should be cultured in semi-shade, especially in summer to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it will cause the leaves to be scorched due to lack of water. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation.

3. Moisture

In the vigorous growth period of Penglai pine, sufficient water should be given, but it can not lead to stagnant water in the basin, otherwise it will cause hypoxia and death in the roots. In slow-growing seasons such as winter, there is no need for frequent watering, just to keep the basin soil moist.

4. Fertilizer

Fertilization should form the law of fertilization from January to January, especially nitrogen and potassium fertilizer is the most suitable, which can promote the growth of Penglai pine.
