How to trim bonsai

Bonsai pruning generally uses methods such as coring, leaf cutting, sprouting, thinning, branch storage and truncation, etc. Pick the heart is to select the top 2 cm of the branch to cut off. To wipe the buds is to remove the new buds from the trunk directly by hand. Picking leaves means thinning the leaves of plants that are ornamental to the trunk. When thinning, do not cut near the trunk, try to cut at a position of more than 1 centimeter.

1. Pick the heart

Picking the heart is to select the top of about 2 cm at the top of the branch and cut it off, which can make the plant rise more sturdy, and at the same time effectively promote the germination and growth of the new buds below.

two。 Sprout

Wiping buds is to remove the new buds from the trunk directly by hand, especially for plants with high germination rate, it is often necessary to wipe buds, if the buds are not wiped in time, they will consume too much nutrients, and will also affect the overall shape.

3. Pick leaves

Picking leaves is the treatment of thinning the leaves of the plants that watch their trunks. After thinning the leaves, the trunk can be seen directly, which is often used on some larger stumps. Picking leaves also requires a high aesthetic vision, otherwise you will pick out a pot of trees that have lost all their leaves.

4. Sparse shearing

Thinning can not only make plants better transparent and ventilated, but also make them more nutritious to supply the branches and leaves they need. However, if the shearing method is improper, it can not be restored, do not cut near the trunk, try to cut at a position of more than 1 centimeter.

5. Short scissors

Short shears are commonly used in styling, cutting the longer branches short, but not all of them, so as to maintain the entire tree shape, but also can dwarf the rising plants and make their trunks stronger.

6. Store branches and cut off stem

Branch pruning is generally a pruning method that imitates the tree shape of nature, and the shape after pruning is no different from the tree shape that grows naturally. This pruning method is usually carried out in the young stage of the tree, and when it is at its strongest stage, it is cut off to retain some of the branches.
