How to trim and shape the duck foot wood, coring / thinning / truncation / fixing / styling

Duck foot wood can be planted for many years and evergreen, and its growth rate is faster, so when raising it, flower friends often encounter the situation of disorderly growth of branches and leaves, which is not good-looking but also affects the development of new leaves. The solution is pruning. So how to trim the duck foot wood? Work with the editor to find the answer.

When will the duck foot wood be trimmed?

In general, pruning is the most suitable for duck foot wood in spring, when it will sprout a large number of buds and is about to enter a period of vigorous growth. Pruning is conducive to the germination of new buds, and pruning in winter or summer is not recommended, because the growth is slow at this time.

How to trim and shape the duck foot wood

1. Gently cut and fix the young plants.

After the duck foot wood is on the pot, some of its dense and high branches and leaves can be cut off, and then according to the flexible traction of the plant shape, to guide the direction of the new branches, to facilitate the fixed shape after.

2. Heart-picking and thinning during the growing period

If you want to prevent the duck foot wood from growing steeply, you can pick the heart of it during the growing period, and at the same time, when it is growing vigorously, it can be thinned, for example, some branches that are crossed and too dense can be cut off, and the more robust branches can be kept.

3. Heavy pruning of old plants

When the duck foot wood grows to 4-5 years later, its shape and basic shape, at this time how to trim the duck foot wood? It can be re-cut, some of the stout old branches will be cut off, and 2-3-year-old and new branches can be retained.

4. Pruning when falling leaves

When some flower friends are planting, the leaves will fall or turn yellow because they do not pay attention to the breeding method of duck foot wood. at this time, the upper part of the plant should be truncated to let the duck foot wood sprout new branches. and the cut branches can be used as cuttings to propagate.

Matters needing attention

1. When pruning duck foot wood, you should use sharp tools. It is ideal to be able to cut it with one knife. Do not frequently cause multiple cuts in the same position. Some withered and yellow old leaves can be removed by hand to avoid affecting growth due to too many cuts.

2. Do not manage the duck foot wood in the sun after pruning, but should be maintained in a semi-shaded place and let the scissors dry naturally. At the same time, you can pour a small amount of water into the basin soil to keep the soil slightly moist.

What about the yellowing leaves of duck foot wood? how to trim duck foot wood?

Duck foot wood is a common indoor foliage plant. Many people want to know what to do if the leaves turn yellow. How to trim the duck foot wood? The answers to these two questions will be answered today.

What if the leaves of duck feet turn yellow?

The main results are as follows: 1. Excessive concentration of fertilization or application of unmature fertilizer will lead to yellowing of leaves and high concentration of nutrient solution in the soil, which will lead to exosmosis of cell liquid, separation of plasma wall and scorching at the edge of old leaves until the whole plant dies. In this case, we should stop fertilizing immediately and increase the amount of water to make the fertilizer flow out of the drain hole. Or immediately pour the basin, rinse the soil block with water and then plant it back into the basin, or remove some of the old soil and replace it with new culture soil.

2. Too much watering of duck foot wood will also lead to yellowing of duck foot wood leaves, and duck foot wood does not like too moist soil. If duck foot wood is watered too much, the soil is too wet, which will lead to rotten roots, and then lead to duck foot wood leaves, which should be watered appropriately.

How to trim the duck foot wood

The pruning of duck foot wood should be combined with the season and its growth period.

The pruning of the young plants of duck foot wood is mainly carried out thinning and light cutting, and its purpose is to give the shape of duck foot wood. It can be about 30 centimeters in the seedling stage to pick the heart, and after the lateral buds grow, leave three leaves 15 to 20 centimeters and then pick the heart. When the old plant is too large, it can be adjusted by re-cutting. Larger plants should be treated with turning pots before leaving the house in spring, and proper shaping and pruning should be made.

If the lower leaves fall out and become bare poles, cut short from the upper half to promote its germination of new branches, cut branches can also be cut, rooting will become a new plant. Young plants change pots every spring, and adult plants change pots about once every two years.

When pruning duck foot wood, we should pay attention to the length of each branch and keep the plant type round. In addition, there is no pruning during the dormant period of duck foot wood.

More information on how to raise duck feet, breeding methods and precautions / lighting should be appropriate.

Duck foot wood is native to Guangdong, South America and other places in China. Because of its strong adaptability and many functions, more and more people raise it. Although this plant is easy to feed, if you want to raise it well, you still need to master certain methods. How to raise it? Let's take a look at the breeding methods and points for attention of duck foot wood.

Is it easy to raise duck feet?

Duck foot wood is a kind of plant that is easy to raise, and it has general requirements for environment and methods. Like the warm, moist semi-sunny environment; the requirement for the soil is fertile acid soil, can withstand slightly barren soil; cold tolerance is strong, the suitable temperature is 16-27 ℃, below 0 degrees may be frostbite, high humidity, exuberant growth, can be said to be very easy to raise.

How to raise duck foot wood

1. Lighting

Duck foot wood can adapt to many kinds of light conditions, such as full sun, half-day, half-shade environment can grow normally, but if you want to make its leaf color more intense green, you need appropriate light, if the light is strong, then the leaf color will be lighter, while in the semi-overcast environment, its leaf color will be green, and the color will be brighter when the light is bright.

2. Soil

Duck foot wood can survive in slightly barren soil, but in its breeding methods and precautions, try to create suitable soil conditions for it, such as fertile, loose, well-drained acid soil is the best, it is best to use a mixture of peat soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand.

3. Temperature

Duck foot wood more suitable growth temperature is 16-27 degrees, can grow normally at 30 degrees, but no matter how high the growth may be stagnant, its cold resistance is medium, the temperature when overwintering is not less than 5 degrees, if it is very easy to be frostbitten at 0 degrees, there will be a lot of fallen leaves.

4. Watering

Duck foot wood likes the environment with high humidity, it is more afraid of dry, if the water is more sufficient, its stems, leaves and roots will be very luxuriant, but if there is too much water, there will be rotting roots, so how to raise duck feet on watering? It can be watered once a day in summer, spray water to the leaf surface in dry air, water twice a week in spring and autumn and reduce watering in winter.

5. Fertilization

In March to September, duck foot wood is the fastest growing time, so in the duck foot wood breeding methods and matters needing attention, the fertilization at this stage must be reasonable. Generally, fertilizers are applied every 2-3 weeks, mainly fertilizer, clothing, Hefei and cake.

Matters needing attention in the culture of duck foot wood

1. Shaping and pruning. Duck foot wood is relatively easy to sprout new branches, if the new branches are not pruned in time, the phenomenon of steep growth may occur, so we should pay attention to heart-picking, thinning and so on during maintenance, which can maintain a good plant shape and promote the germination of lateral branches.

2. Change the basin regularly. The nutrients in the soil are limited. When the duck foot wood has been raised for 1-2 years, the nutrients in the soil will be absorbed. In order to maintain enough nutrients, the basin soil needs to be changed regularly, usually every 1-2 years in spring.

3. Control the light. The leaf color of duck foot wood is directly related to the light, so if you want to make the leaf color more beautiful, you need to control the light reasonably. You can give it a semi-shady environment in summer and full sunshine in winter, which can make the leaves more green.
