However, many people still like to follow the growth nature of asparagus and let it grow naturally, but it is a free-range shape to trim off some rotten branches and leaves of asparagus.

Some people also like to trim the shape of asparagus into a mountain, because asparagus is green all the year round and its leaves are petite and delicate, which looks like a green hill from afar. At this time, growers are required to focus on the tall and straight branch of asparagus and let it grow up, and then properly trim other branches and leaves around it to maintain a sense of hierarchy. The last one is to prune the feeling of the mountains, to cultivate the growth of several tall branches and leaves of asparagus, and to prune the feeling of the mountains.

1. Basin control method

The ratio of flowerpot to plant size should be controlled at 1:3, which can limit root growth and keep plant size unchanged.

2. Remove the growing point in time

When the new buds grow to 2-3 years old, the growing points are removed to promote the regeneration of branches and leaves on the stem, and to control their non-growing vines, so that the branches and leaves flatten out, and the plant type continues to plump.

3. Make full use of the phototaxis of asparagus.

Turning the direction of the flowerpot at the right time can modify the growth shape of branches and leaves and keep the plant type plump and elegant.

4. Object shielding method

Use a piece of hard paper to press the branches and leaves or block the sun, so that when the branches and leaves grow, they will turn or bend when they encounter objects, so as to achieve the purpose of modeling.

5. Comprehensive application of several plastic methods.

(1) Tower shaping

Choose 2-3 tall and straight and beautiful stems as the main peak, remove each growing point on the stem, set the plant height to 30-35 years, and the rest of the branches and new stems should not be higher than the main peak. For new buds, the thickness of their stems can be used to determine whether or not to remove the growing point. If the stem is thicker than the stem of the main peak, it should be removed, and if the stem is thinner than the stem of the main peak, it is not necessary to pick and let it grow. At the same time, the conjugate shielding method and the phototaxis of the plant are needed to adjust the plant type continuously.

(2) double-cluster plastic surgery

Plant one high and one low asparagus in the basin, the high one is about 30 years old, the low one is about 18 years old, and then reshape it according to the tower style during the growth period.

(3) Natural plastic surgery

Based on the plant type of natural growth of asparagus, the basic methods such as removing the growing point, shading and making use of its phototaxis can stretch the branches and leaves and give people a natural sense of beauty.

Measures for dwarfing asparagus:

1. For young plants, no more fertilizer should be applied in spring and summer, and fertilizer should be applied once a month. The amount of fertilizer should not be too large, and it is necessary to grasp the principle of light. For old plants, it is best to apply less or no fertilizer, as long as when changing the basin, take advantage of the opportunity to fill the bottom of the basin with fresh soil, or a small amount of fertilizer. In this way, both young and old plants can maintain a stable growth potential.

2. Pay attention to regular pruning. Asparagus grows fast, so it is necessary to prune old branches and withered stems at any time to keep the bottom short. At the same time, cut off the trailing branches in time to keep them tall and beautiful, dense and green.

3. Dwarf asparagus varieties were selected. The short bamboo stem is vine-free and can maintain a small and exquisite state.
