These branches are not only not conducive to ornamental, but also hinder ornamental, to a certain extent, inhibit the germination of branches and leaves, after all, these branches will consume a lot of nutrients, thus weakening the tree. Based on these considerations, it is necessary to do a good job in routine pruning and cut off the branches in time, such as the above conditions. After cutting, the ventilation and light transmittance of summer cuckoos can be greatly improved, which is not only conducive to the germination of new branches and leaves, but also promote the growth of roots, thus restoring the tree potential, thus blooming higher quality azaleas as scheduled.

Second, styling pruning

In order to create and improve the shape of summer cuckoo bonsai and improve the ornamental value of bonsai, it is often necessary to deal with branches by means of pruning to achieve the best modeling effect. Moreover, through the adjustment of branches in the process of pruning and modeling, it can also improve the growth state of trees, promote growth and development, make Xia Juan grow more exuberantly, the shape of branches and leaves more elegant, and the overall ornamental effect of bonsai is better. Therefore, pruning often plays an irreplaceable role in the process of modeling summer cuckoo bonsai.

However, if you want to change the overall shape of summer cuckoo bonsai, then it is bound to be a substantial pruning. Such heavy pruning often needs to be carried out in the spring when the summer cuckoo is at its peak, and if the tree is too weak, it must be re-trimmed. However, before the implementation of heavy pruning, it is generally necessary to apply enough water and fertilizer in advance to promote growth, and wait until the summer cuckoo has a certain bearing capacity, which will cause less damage to the tree and more conducive to the germination and growth of the summer cuckoo. Of course, if necessary, it needs to be combined with basin change, root pruning and other measures.

3. Pruning before flowering

Summer cuckoo bonsai generally need proper pruning and leaf pruning before flowering, the original is mainly to cut off the relatively messy branches and overgrown branches, after all, these branches will destroy the original beautiful shape of bonsai to a certain extent. After this pruning, it can not only save some nutrients, but also help the summer cuckoo to pull out the side branches, especially the flower branches, and the whole crown appears to be more perfect and natural. This can lay a good foundation for later flowering, making summer cuckoos blossom more, bigger and more gorgeous. Therefore, it is also very necessary to prune the summer cuckoo bonsai before blooming.

4. Pruning after flowering

This not only helps to keep the original plant shape beautiful, but also saves some nutrients to restore the tree potential. And at the same time, if the post-flowering pruning is not carried out in time, the new branches will grow wildly, and the branches will grow thicker and longer, which is easy to destroy the plant type, make the bonsai branches look very uncoordinated, and at the same time, it is also easy to weaken the tree potential. Therefore, after the summer cuckoo flowers are shedding, in addition to picking the residual flowers, they should also be pruned in time.

However, for the pruning of summer azaleas, it is not necessary to prune the existing side branches and flower branches on a large scale, but also need to keep some new branches with good growth and growth direction for each branch. However, for those lateral branches that maintain longitudinal and reverse growth, only the horizontal new branches need to be retained. However, if you want to thicken the trunk, these new branches and leaves can not be cut off for a while. However, the pruning work after flowering is often required to be completed before the middle of June in summer.

In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the plant type, it is generally necessary to prune the summer cuckoo bonsai every three years, even if the flowers are properly controlled, so as to release more space and be more conducive to the replacement of new and old branches and leaves. so that the bonsai can be watched elegantly for a long time. And in addition to a large amount of pruning, it is also necessary to change the basin regularly to keep more nutrients in the basin to promote the growth of summer cuckoos, which is a very necessary measure for bonsai to maintain elegant shape.
