When and how to pick the leaves of Chinese wolfberry bonsai

The leaf picking treatment of bonsai trees is an important means to promote the germination of tree species with less times of sprouting and leafing in a year, which can make bonsai trees often keep fresh green leaves, thus full of vitality, and the ornamental value of bonsai is higher. The same is true of Chinese wolfberry bonsai, which often takes the way of picking leaves to promote germination. But the work of picking leaves of Chinese wolfberry bonsai can not be carried out anytime and anywhere, so when do Chinese wolfberry bonsai pick leaves? How to pick leaves?

For different tree species, the time of picking leaves is not the same, often some are suitable for earlier, some are suitable for late. However, the work of picking leaves should not be carried out in spring, nor in summer, but mostly in spring and autumn, and the effect is the best. In addition to the timing of picking leaves, the method is also very important. For ordinary bonsai trees, when they decide to pick leaves, they need to strengthen water and fertilizer management half a month in advance to promote the rapid germination of new buds.

However, the topdressing of Chinese wolfberry should adhere to the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently", and the concentration should not be too high, and raw fertilizer should not be applied. If the leaves are picked in late spring and early summer and autumn, it is often necessary to apply a slightly higher concentration of liquid fertilizer in the first month of these two periods, which can promote the branches to quickly pull out new buds, new leaves and buds. The main purpose of picking leaves in late spring and early summer is to promote Chinese wolfberry to sprout emerald green leaves and improve the appreciation of bonsai. And the germination ability of Chinese wolfberry is relatively strong, before picking leaves for scientific topdressing, trees are easy to sprout new leaves in a short period of time.

In early autumn, we can pick leaves for the second time on Chinese wolfberry bonsai. The main purpose of picking leaves at this time is to promote the extraction of flower buds and leaf buds at the same time, and in late autumn, we can watch not only the leaves but also the fruit. And at this time, the new green leaves and bright red fruits set off each other, and the ornamental effect is excellent. However, although the Chinese wolfberry tree has strong germination ability, we can not pick leaves too many times a year, and it is most suitable to pick leaves twice: once in late spring and early summer and once in early autumn.

Before picking leaves on Chinese wolfberry bonsai, we should not only fertilize and promote growth in advance, grasp the timing of picking leaves, and control the number of picking leaves, but also need to master the skills and details in the process of picking leaves. In general, for strong Chinese wolfberry bonsai, the area of picking leaves can be extended to the whole tree, especially when there are dense leaves on the sturdy branches, we should focus on picking leaves. However, for Chinese wolfberry trees or branches with weak growth, the number of leaves picked should be strictly controlled, and it is not even necessary to pick leaves.

It should be noted that in the process of picking leaves on Chinese wolfberry bonsai, it is generally not suitable to pick leaves directly with bare hands. Because although it is said to be picking leaves, it is usually required to leave the petiole on the branch. If you pick leaves with your bare hands, it is not easy to do this, and it is also easy to remove or hurt axillary buds. Therefore, the general need to pick leaves with the help of scissors, directly cut off the part of the leaf, leaving the petiole on the branch.
