How to grow the tree trunk of happiness

Happiness tree is a kind of tree species which is very suitable for planting as foliage potted plants. placing it in an indoor ventilated and sunny place can not only bring a touch of green to the space and make the environment full of vitality, but also purify the indoor air and make us breathe more fresh. Generally speaking, it is comfortable to keep potted happiness trees at home. However, as a potted plant, appreciation is an important indicator of its value. If the trunk of the potted happiness tree is thin and slender, its ornamental nature must not be strong.

In general, potted happiness trees tend to have more ornamental value with luxuriant branches, green and bright trunks and sturdy trunks. In contrast, it is often easier to make a potted happiness tree with luxuriant branches and bright green leaves, but it is more difficult to make the trunk stout. So, how to thicken the trunk of the happiness tree? If we want to improve the ornamental value of potted happiness trees by thickening the trunk, we usually need to pay more attention to the details of conservation and management.

First, remove the terminal bud

In the natural growth state of the happiness tree, the trunk is often thin and tall, and the side branches are relatively few. Because the main growth point of the plant is often concentrated on the top of the trunk, in the case of suitable light and temperature, sufficient water and fertilizer, the plant will concentrate on the top growth advantage for a long time to maintain upward growth. In order to cut off the main growth point in time, the growth point will be dispersed and the nutrition will return to the lower end, which can promote the plant to germinate more lateral branches and thicken the trunk at the same time.

Second, thinning and pruning side branches

After erasing the top growth advantage of the potted happiness tree, with the dispersion of the growth point, a lot of lateral branches will sprout on the trunk, and at this time we need great water and fertilizer management to maintain the germination and growth of the lateral branches. we also need to top the side branches that are too exuberant and remove the top growth points. Let the excess nutrients continue to flow back to the stem of the happiness tree, with the continuous accumulation of nutrients in the stem of the plant, the stem of the happiness tree will grow stronger and stronger.

Third, increase water and fertilizer

Potted happiness trees often need to consume a lot of water and fertilizer while the trunk is thickened, and the original can support its rapid growth process only when there is sufficient water and fertilizer. Therefore, from the top of the trunk to the germination of side branches, thinning of side branches, and then to the trunk growth and thickness of the whole process requires a lot of water and nutrient consumption, so it is necessary to do a good job of water and fertilizer management in time. And the happiness tree itself also likes to be fat and wet, and only when there is enough water and fertilizer can it keep growing healthily.

IV. Change the basin and soil

With the continuous growth of the stem of the happiness tree, and the size of the original pot space is limited, so we need to change the pot and soil in time, by increasing the flowerpot and increasing the amount of soil to create a more suitable environment for the happiness tree to grow. In this way, there is not only a more relaxed space for the distribution of happiness trees in the basin, but also more soil can store more water and fertilizer for happiness trees to absorb. This provides a good hardware condition for the tree trunk to continue to grow thick and luxuriant.

It can be seen that if we want to thicken the trunk of the potted happiness tree, we need to combine the work of heart picking, pruning, water and fertilizer, changing pots and so on. Of course, these four aspects of work play a major role in promoting the thickening of the trunk of potted happiness trees, but the management of light and temperature should not be ignored. It is often necessary for us to combine all these management and protection methods in order to quickly thicken the trunk and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
