How to shape the bonsai with golden branches and jade leaves? What are the right ways to prune?

The methods of modeling are: first, the curved trunk style, the branch shape is coiled, very much like entwined. Second, the straight-dry bonsai looks very distinct.

Generally, pruning is the main method, supplemented by pruning. This preserves the entire trunk and is easy to build.

You can choose the shape you like, and then prune off the excess branches, so that you can shape the potted plant, the correct way to prune is to prune on a sunny day, and not let the sun shine after cutting, and then water more, often fertilize it, so that you can make the bonsai of golden branches and jade leaves become very beautiful, and it will become very vigorous.

The method of pruning1.The shape of the trimGolden branches and jade leaves are one of the more famous ornamental plants in our country, so they are generally pruned into their natural form when pruning. Usually its branches will be cloud-shaped, like a miniature version of a tree in nature, and we can also prune it into an umbrella shape, which is high in the middle and low in the periphery, which looks very beautiful.

2.Prune branches and leavesThere are a lot of branches and leaves, so when pruning, be sure to cut off all the branches and leaves that have crossed, the branches and leaves that grow inward, the parallel branches and leaves, and the clusters of branches and leaves. If left unchecked, it will destroy the overall shape of the plant in the later stage.

3.Pruning of the rootsUsually the roots do not need to be pruned, just prune the roots when changing the pot. After the roots have fallen off the pot, first look at the growth of the roots, and then prune the rotten and excess roots according to the condition of the roots.

First, you can do what you want to do for the golden branches and jade leaves according to your own wishes, there is no time limit for pruning, you can cut at will, when cutting, because the branches are particularly soft, try not to leave particularly long branches, just keep short branches.

Second, if you want to prune the boring into one side of the sea exploration type, this side should retain the long branches, and use lead wire and wooden sticks as support to prevent the branches from breaking, and the other side can be pruned more, cut round balls, which is more beautiful.

Third, if you want to make a flower basket shape, you can use lead wire to tie the branches to the soft rattan or bamboo, not too tight, so as not to strangle the branches, and it is not conducive to the extension and growth of the branches.

Fourth, if you want to make a straight tower, use a soft lead wire or thread to stare at the skin, tie the middle trunk to a wooden stick, let it be erect and grow long, only keep short branches around, let it grow into a dense circle, and when the plant grows to a certain height, the top should be cut off, so that the lower branches of the flower have enough nutrients and grow more lush.

The bonsai modeling method of golden branches and jade leaves needs to first select individuals who have grown for 3 or 4 years, have good growth, and have healthy and strong branches as the basis for bonsai modeling. When pruning, the outer contour of the general pruning is triangular, or cloud-shaped, lush and beautiful, after pruning the outer contour can be pruned to the cluster branches, cross branches, inward branches, parallel branches, long branches and other abnormal branches and leaves.

To shape the golden branches and jade leaves, it is necessary to first select individuals with good growth as the basis for bonsai modeling. Generally, it is necessary to choose plants that have grown for 3 or 4 years, have stable basic shapes, healthy and strong branches, and are free of diseases and pests. If immature plants are used, the shape may be ruined at a later stage.

The first step in modeling a bonsai is to prune. There are certain rules for pruning, and you can't cut it indiscriminately, which will affect the appearance and feel of the whole golden branch and jade leaf plant. Generally speaking, pruning generally trims the outer contour into a triangle, which is stable and beautiful.

In addition to pruning the contours of the golden branches, it is necessary to prune some branches and leaves that are not properly developed. Commonly, it is necessary to prune off clustered branches, cross branches, inward branches, parallel branches, and long branches. But don't cut off all the branches to avoid affecting the growth of the whole plant.

Pruning shapes need to be careful, do not prune into square or round, these two shapes not only look very dull, no vitality, and do not conform to the growth law of golden branches and jade leaves, will lead to slow growth, stagnation. You also need to be careful not to prune to the roots.

When the golden branch jade leaf grows to a certain height, it can be modeled, and its form can be oblique dry type, straight dry type, curved dry type, cliff type, jungle type, attached stone type, etc., the modeling method is mainly pruned, supplemented by Panza. Since the golden branch jade leaf is a fleshy stem, do not put the wire into its epidermis when piercing, otherwise it will cause the fleshy stem to tear. The jade leaf germination force is strong, and it can be re-cut according to the needs of the modeling, and the root is lifted, so that the bonsai hangs on the root and exposes the claws, which has a high ornamentality.

Many new shoots often grow in bonsai and should be pruned to maintain their beauty. Pruning can often be done in its natural form, where the branches are trimmed into clouds, like a microcosm of trees in nature. It can also be pruned into branches that are slightly higher in the middle, different in size, and have an outer contour like a melon seed-shaped branch, which is visually more beautiful.

Avoid cutting it into a round shape, which can look very dull or even tacky. When pruning, all clusters, crossings, inwards, overlapping, parallel, and long branches should be cut off. In addition to pruning the foliage, the outer contour of the tree should also be properly pruned so that the entire crown forms an unequal triangle.

Unequal triangles are both stable and dynamic.

When pruning, 2-3 buds should be left and the rest should be cut off. For small bonsai or germination of many and fast buds, only 1-2 buds can be left as appropriate. The specific undercut part is selected in the place where the length of the branch is equivalent to the thickness of the branch in front of the "bud mouth", so that the new germination is faster and the buds will be thicker.

Secondly, the golden branches and jade leaves that have just been pruned should be protected from rain and strong light exposure, and should avoid infection or burns at the cutting site.

In some special cases, one or two branches can also be left selectively as a need to complete the look. Especially in the first year or two after the completion of the styling, it is often found that the original styling has a fly in the ointment, and if there is a suitable new hair technique to make up for it, it is really a beautiful thing that cannot be sought.

It prefers warm, dry and sunny environments, is resistant to drought and semi-shade, and is not tolerant to waterlogging. Although it can grow in shade, it grows indiscriminately, not only the distance between the stems is elongated, the leaves are large and thin, and the luster, and the ornamental value is not high. In summer, when the high temperature is high, it should not be exposed to the scorching sun, so it can be properly shaded and pay attention to ventilation.

In winter, put it indoors in a sunny place, stop fertilizing, control watering, the temperature is best above 10, 5 or so plants will not die, but the leaves will fall off a lot.

Watering during the growing season should be "not dry and not watering, watering is watering thoroughly" to avoid excessive wetting or even water accumulation in the potting soil. Apply a well-decomposed thin liquid fertilizer every 15 to 20 days.

Because of its strong germination power, it should be pruned and budded frequently to maintain the graceful shape of the tree. The potting soil can be repotted once every 2 to 3 years in the spring, and the potting soil can be a sandy soil with medium fertility and good drainage and air permeability. When turning the pot, the plant is re-pruned, the weak branches and other branches that affect the shape of the tree are removed, part of the root system is cut off, 1 2 to 1 3 of the original soil is removed, and the soil is replanted with new culture soil.
