The latest summer cuckoo bonsai production method

Pruning

Pruning the summer cuckoo bonsai can adjust the growth status of the plant, make its development more exuberant, and the shape of branches and leaves more beautiful.

If you want to modify the overall shape and prune the summer cuckoo, it should be carried out when the plant is growing vigorously in spring. if the growth is weak and must be pruned, it should be fertilized and cultivated first after the summer cuckoo has regained its vital energy. In addition, it is necessary to change the soil and remove the old roots at the same time, so as to improve the growth environment of summer cuckoos as a whole.

Pruning before flowering

Before flowering, the branches and leaves should be trimmed properly, and the overgrown branches and random branches should be removed, so that the whole bonsai will have a neat and natural crown after flowering.

Post-flowering pruning

After flowering, the branches should be trimmed. If the new branches are allowed to grow, the original balance will be destroyed, and the parts with many new branches will become thicker, which is very disharmonious. At this time, it is necessary to keep one or two new branches with good growth direction, while the lateral branches remove the vertical and reverse branches and retain the new branches growing horizontally. Of course, if you want to thicken the trunk, the new branches can not be pruned for the time being. It should be noted that the pruning after flowering will be completed in mid-June.

Sling

Generally speaking, summer cuckoo bonsai should be pruned first and then make a perfect shape through hanging and other techniques.

Before hanging, the branches should be softened slightly with water, and then the reserved branches should be modeled with wire.

Matters needing attention

At the same time, but also to change the soil to turn the basin for maintenance, so that the summer cuckoo bonsai has been in a good growth state, maintaining a charming and elegant shape.
