How to do part of the root branch of duck foot?

Potted duck palm wood often reflects its ornamental value under the condition of luxuriant branches and evergreen. But sometimes due to neglect of management or other factors, the potted duck palm wood grows in the form of a single pole, while the duck palm wood planted by some potted friends is often short and plump, which seems to be of higher ornamental value than the one planted alone. Of course, different people have different aesthetics, some like the shape of a single pole, while others like the style of plump plants. On the other hand, the public's aesthetic appreciation of potted duck palm wood tends to the latter.

Indeed, most of the duck palm trees cultivated in pots are shown in plump, short plant types, but in the state of natural growth, the plants usually appear in the form of a single pole. Therefore, this requires us to intervene with the help of artificial means to achieve. In order to get a dwarf and plump plant type, we usually need to try to make the potted duck palm wood grow more branches from the roots. So, how does the duck palm wood branch at the root?

First of all, before the plant is in the budding growing season, we need to carefully examine the plant, and then work out a practical plan. In order to promote plant germination, the plant growth environment must be suitable, water and fertilizer also need to be sufficient, after all, plant germination needs to consume more nutrients and water. Then, according to our preset effect, the pot is dried or topped in the right position. As the growth point of duck palm wood is mainly concentrated in the top part of the main stem, once the growth advantage of the top is removed, its growth point will be dispersed to the whole plant.

In order to achieve the effect of dwarfing plants and promoting root germination, we generally need to cut the seedlings as low as possible, leaving 2-3 nodes. After removing the upper growth point, some lateral buds will sprout at the lower end near the root of the plant because the growth point is scattered below. Of course, during this period, we especially need to do a good job of moisturizing, so that we can spray more water to the remaining stigma, which can not only sprout a large number of lateral buds and grow branches in the root, but also promote the germination and growth of aerial roots.

In this process of operation, in addition to strengthening the management of water and fertilizer, our position in the short section is also very critical. If the short position is too high, the plant type is often relatively high after sprouting branches, but if the short position is too low, especially when the main rod is completely cut off, it may be difficult to sprout because there are no budding eyes below. Even if it germinates through the root, it is often difficult to sprout because of its own conditions. even if it sprouts, it usually takes a long time, and even it can lead to plant death.

Therefore, in order to promote to ensure that the vitality of potted duck palm wood will not be hurt, it is generally necessary to retain 2-3 nodes, and then cut off the upper part. At least one node needs to be retained, and make sure that there are axillary buds that can germinate smoothly below, so that we can achieve the goal of beheading or cutting off, and finally achieve root branching and increasing aerial rooting. The whole pot plant is expected to achieve the goal of dwarfing and plump plant type. However, sometimes there are a large number of lateral buds sprouting from the roots after truncation, so we can make a comprehensive consideration to decide whether to choose or not, generally retain a few branches with good growth state as new main branches for cultivation, and others can be treated according to our own needs.
