It can be combined with turning the basin to lift the root to form a hanging root to improve the ornamental value. After the semi-deciduous leaves in winter to the sprouting of the following spring, plastic pruning is carried out, cutting long and ungrown branches, thinning the thin and weak branches that are too dense, cutting off the branches of diseases and insect pests and other messy branches that affect the ornamental; coring, wiping buds, removing branches and so on are carried out at the right time during the growing period. to keep it in a beautiful shape.

7. Pest control: there are occasional aphids and snails in snow bonsai in June. Aphids can be sprayed with wind oil essence diluted 500,600 times, and snails can be sprayed with 58% wind and lightning excited EC 1500 times. Sometimes you will get root rot. At the beginning of the disease, use 12% oleic acid copper EC 600-1000 times, or 50% root rot 800 times solution to control the root and foliar spray, spray (irrigation) once every 3-5 days, continuous spray (irrigation) 3-4 times.
