How to trim the sparrow plum bonsai

1. Pruning methods of potted plants cultivated for many years

If it is a potted plant that has been planted for many years, especially after it has aged, in order to prevent its flower branches from withering or aging, turn the soil for it every two to three years, preferably in February or March of each year, to remove the old roots and branches. Its branches, buds and roots have a strong ability to grow, and the more the branches are pruned, the more exuberant they can grow.

II. New methods for pruning pile heads

If it is a newly dug pile head, its planting season is from the end of each year to March of the following year. If the branches grow to 10 to 20 centimeters, the unnecessary branches can be removed, and the remaining branches also need to be properly cut short. In this way, the water consumption can be reduced, and its nutrients can be concentrated to the pile.

Third, the method of pruning branches with wounds

If a branch has a wound for various reasons, it should not be too early to remove the bud or cut off the branch. It should be allowed to grow freely. This can help its wound to be closed and can be repaired in a natural state. Then its branch can be cut off.

IV. matters needing attention

1. To prune it at the right time, it is best to prune it at the end of spring or early autumn, when its stump has the strongest germination ability, but grows most vigorously. For its crazy growing branches, more messy branches, or sick branches should be removed at any time. It should be noted that when the weather is hot, it is easier to burn its new buds. It will cause its leaves to curl up, so after cutting it, it is best to put it in a cool area so that its buds grow normally before you see the light.

2. It can be pruned after autumn every year, removing some branches and leaves that are too dense, and getting rid of all kinds of messy branches and overgrowing branches, which can keep it in a certain posture and help its branches and leaves to become more dense. Its budding ability is relatively strong, so we should pick its heart in time.
