Avoid exposure to the hot sun above 35 ℃, and it is not suitable to put in shady places without light for a long time. In this way, the branches and leaves will be withered and yellow or grow too long, affecting the ornamental value.

2. In the process of growth, in order to avoid tilting the trunk to one side, it is appropriate to turn the pot once a half month to let the plant receive light evenly. In addition, the trunk of young trees is fragile and easy to bend, so it is appropriate to set up pillars to fix the trunk from the time of young trees. In order to prevent the plant from growing too tall, the pot should be changed every 2-3 years after the spring is warm. At ordinary times, we should pay attention to protect the lateral branches so as not to be damaged and affect the plant shape.

This pruning method is to cut off the branches of the Australian fir from the bifurcations, which can make the branches more evenly distributed, increase ventilation and light transmittance, and is conducive to the rapid growth of the internal branches of the Australian fir. This method is mainly to cut off dry branches and over-dense branches.

3. Tiller removal. This pruning method is to remove twigs or root tillers from the bottom of the Australian fir trunk or near the mountain pass, so as to prevent these tillers from affecting the overall appearance.

Finally, I would like to remind you that when pruning, you need to pay attention to the sharp and smooth scissors, and the scissors should be at an oblique angle of 45 degrees between the scissors and the branches, so that the cut will be smaller, which is conducive to the healing of the cut. New buds can grow quickly. If you want to inhibit the growth of too exuberant branches, you can choose the small buds of Australian fir as a cut, which can promote the growth of strong buds!
