It is often seen in many home and office environments, but many people do not know how to prune the happiness tree. Let's take a look at the pruning method of the happiness tree.

The pruning method of Happiness Tree

1. Picking the heart: it is also called cutting off the tip of the main stem or side branch of the flower plant, which is to pinch or cut off the top of the main stem or side branch of the flower plant by hand, so as to break the top advantage of the plant, promote the germination of its lower axillary buds, restrain the excessive growth of branches, and promote the plant to be more branched. and form a multi-flower head and beautiful plant shape.

2, wipe head: rubber tree, millennium wood, goose palm wood, Wang Dai powder leaves and other large flowers, the plant is too tall, it is difficult to grow indoors, need to be pruned or wiped. The upper part of the plant is usually cut off before the new branches germinate in spring, which is called wiping head. The height of the trunk when wiping your head depends on the type of flowers.

3. Thinning: including pruning branches, leaves, buds, flowers and adventitious buds. When the growth of flower plants is too exuberant, resulting in branches and leaves too dense, part of the branches should be thinned timely, or the leaves that are too dense should be removed to improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, so that flowers grow stronger and flowers and fruits are more colorful.

Growth conditions of Happiness Tree

1. Temperature: happy tree likes warm and hot environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is about 20 ℃. When the temperature is very high (more than 28 ℃), it is necessary to build a shed for shade properly, and the lowest temperature should be no less than 5 ℃ to avoid frostbite.

2, illumination: general happiness tree cultivation can take full-day sunshine or semi-shade, however, indoor pot planting plant-type happiness tree culture, should be placed in front of the window or balcony with sufficient light as far as possible, the dark environment for a long time will cause its fallen leaves.

3. Humidity: happiness trees like moist soil and air environment. When family breeding happiness trees are displayed indoors, they should not only keep the basin soil moist, but also spray water on the leaves frequently, or spray plants with slightly warmer water to maintain their elegant appearance.

4. Substrate: the culture of happiness tree should choose the substrate with loose, permeable and good drainage, and the soil should be sandy loam, and the size of the flowerpot can be determined according to the size of the final cultivated plant. At present, the popular cultivation method in the market is 1 to 2 plants per pot, with a plant height of more than 70 cm.

Matters needing attention in Happiness Tree Culture

1. The happiness tree is shady-tolerant, and can be raised in all-day sunshine or semi-shady environment. When fresh in spring, watering can be properly controlled so that the happiness tree will not grow too high. In addition, in indoor Chen Li's pot plants, in addition to paying attention to the wetness of the basin soil, we also need to pay attention to spraying water 2 times and 3 times a day in the high temperature season. In summer and autumn, the plants should spray more water to create cool and moist plants.

2. In terms of soil, the cultivated soil with loose and fertile soil, good drainage and air permeability and rich organic matter should be selected. It is usually mixed with 5 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of mature organic fertilizer and 1 part of river sand. Loosen the soil once a month during the growing season to ensure that the roots are always in a good state of penetration. If it is found that there is stagnant water in the basin, it should be removed as soon as possible, and the basin should be turned over and changed after the basin soil is dried. The happiness tree grows rapidly and needs sufficient nutrients to ensure its exuberant growth, so it needs to be fertilized frequently during the growing period, usually with 20-10-10 or 15-15-15 mixed fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Diluted thin fertilizer water can also be used instead of clear water to irrigate basin soil.

3. Happy trees like a warm and hot environment. The suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃-21 ℃ in daytime and 18 ℃-19 ℃ at night, and the temperature should be controlled below 27 ℃ in midsummer. When the ambient temperature is very high, it is necessary to use a shed for shade. Increase the humidity of the environment, so as to increase the humidity of the leaf surface. During the overwintering period, the temperature should be maintained at not less than 8 ℃, and the minimum temperature should not be less than 5 ℃, if it is lower than 5 ℃.
